 BASIC OPERATIONS - BUILT-IN EFFECTS

FLANGER/ECHO/ROBOT EFFECT:

 The flanger effect distorts the output signal 

and  create  an  effect  similar  to  the  frequency  phasing  in  and  out  of  each  other. 

The  ECHO  effect  adds  an  echo  to  your  output  signal. The  ROBOT  effect  distorts 

the output to simulates a sci-fi robot voice. When the FLANGER effect is selected 

the 

FLANGER/ECHO BUTTON (30) 

will glow. When the ECHO or ROBOT effect is 

selected the 

FLANGER/ECHO BUTTON (30) 

will flash repeatedly. 

ROBOT  EFFECT: 

The  ROBOT  effect  is  activated  in  the  ECHO  parameters. To 

activate the ROBOT effect select the ECHO effect. After the Echo effect is activated 

enter  the  PT  Parameters  and  turn  the  hold  function  on.  Set  the  Parameter  Time 

(PT)  value  to  0010  and  use  the  Jog  Wheel  to  create  the  effect  by  adjusting  the 

Parameter Ratio (PR).

FLANGER  EFFECT: 

The  FLANGER  Effect  has  two  adjustable  parameters, 

Parameter  Time  (PT)  and  Parameter  Ratio  (PR). The  PT  will  adjust  the  Flanger 

Mode and The PR will adjust the Flanger Frequency Range.

ECHO  EFFECT: 

The  ECHO  Effect  has  two  adjustable  parameters,  Parameter 

Time (PT) and Parameter Ratio (PR). The PR will adjust the length of the echo (drop 

off time), and the PT will adjust the echo gap length.

TRANS/PAN EFFECT:

 

The TRANS effect simulates a real-time mixer transformer 

effect.  The  PAN  effect  allows  you  to  pan  the  output  from  the  left  channel  to 

the  right  channel.  Pressing 

TRANS/PAN  BUTTON  (29)

  once  will  activate  the 

TRANSFORMER  effect  (figure  47). When  the TRANSFORMER  effect  is  activated 

the 

TRANS/PAN  BUTTON  (29)

  will  glow. To  activate  the  PAN  effect,  press  and 

hold the 

TRANS/PAN BUTTON (29)

 until it begins to flash. A flashing 

TRANS/PAN 

BUTTON (29)

 will represent the PAN effect. The fade time can be adjusted in the 

parameters setting from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest fade out time. 

The Pan Value ranges from 10ms to ten seconds.

TRANS EFFECT: 

The TRANS Effect has two adjustable parameters, Parameter 

Time  and  Parameter  Ratio. The  PT  will  adjust  the Trans  Speed  and The  PR  will 

adjust the Trans Audio Length. The lower the PT value the faster the TRANS effect 

(PT 0500 = 1/2 second, PT 1000 = 1 second).

PAN EFFECT: 

The PAN effect uses the PT value to pan left to Right. PT 0500 is 

the default setting which is center pan.

SKID/COAST EFFECT:

 

The Skid effect simulates the sudden platter stop of a 

turntable, like pressing the stop button on a turntable. The COAST effect simulates 

a  turntable  slowly  revving  up  to  it's  proper  speed,  or  slowly  winding  down  to  a 

stop, like tuning the power off when a turntable is running. When the SKID effect 

is  selected  the 

SKID/COAST  BUTTON  (3) 

will  glow. When  the  COAST  effect  is 

selected  the 

SKID/COAST  BUTTON  (3) 

will  flash  repeatedly. The  fade  effect  will 

fade  the  music  out  and  bring  back  in. Both  the  Skid  and  Coast  time  parameters 

can be adjusted from 0010 to 9990. 9990 will give you the longest Skid and Coast 

times. The SKID/COAST value ranges from a 10ms to ten seconds.
