Chapter 7: Editing Effects
If the Pitch type is Mono Chorus, Stereo Chorus, Mono Flange or Stereo Flange,
page 2 through 5 of the Pitch function contain the following four parameters:
Waveform Shape (Sine or Square) Page 2
This determines the LFO’s waveform shape. This parameter only appears when the
Mono or Stereo Chorus or Flange are selected. The Waveform Shape of the LFO can
be changed from a sine waveform, which provides a smoother, more even sound, to
a square waveform, which makes the Chorus or flange effect more pronounced.
Speed (00 to 99) Page 3
This parameter adjusts the LFO Speed of all Pitch types, with the exception of Pitch
Detune and Resonator.
Depth (00 to 99) Page 4
This parameter adjusts the LFO Depth of all Pitch types, with the exception of Pitch
Detune and Resonator. The LFO Depth, which is the amount of pitch alteration, can
be adjusted to produce the desired effect.
Feedback (00 to 99) Page 5
This parameter adjusts the LFO Feedback of all Pitch types, with the exception of
Pitch Detune and Resonator. A portion of the output of the Pitch section can be “fed
back” into the input in order to make the effect more tonal or pronounced.
The following three parameters only appear if the Pitch type is set to Pitch Detune or
Resonator, respectively.
Detune (-99 to +99) Page 2 (Pitch Detune only)
If the Pitch type is Pitch Detune, page 2 will have only this parameter. This adjusts
the tuning of the Pitch Detune effect. This can be set between -99 and +99, in 1 cent
increments.
Resonator Tuning (00 to 60) Page 2 (Resonator only)
If the Pitch type is Resonator, page 2 of the Pitch function will let you adjust the
Resonator tuning. This can be tuned from 00 to 60.
Resonator Decay (00 to 99) Page 3 (Resonator only)
If the Pitch type is Resonator, page 3 will let you adjust the Resonator Decay. This
can be set 00 to 99, whereby 00 is a very fast decay and 99 is a very slow decay.
