BASS SYNTHESIZER BSY600
Ultimate Bass Synthesizer Effects Pedal
Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER BASS SYNTHESIZER BSY600.
This high-quality effects pedal reproduces the fat and powerful sound of classic analog synthesizers—
at the touch of a footswitch.
1. Controls
(1)
The
DIRECT
control adjusts the level of the
direct, unaffected signal.
(2)
The
EFFECT
control adjusts the level of the
synthesizer effect signal.
(3)
The
RES
(onance) control adjusts the
strength of the low-pass filter frequency
peak (see below).
(4)
The
FREQ
(uency) control adjusts the
low-pass/allpass filter frequency which
cuts the high-frequencies and therefore
determines the upper and lower limit of the
frequency range the filter moves along.
(5)
The
DECAY/RATE
control has 2 different
functions. Depending on the MODE switch
position (see below) it adjusts either the
LFO speed that modulates the amplitude
of the filter frequency (RATE: mode 3 and
6 only) or sets the time over which the filter
frequency moves (DECAY). When the decay time is set to MAX, the cut-off filter frequency is fixed.
(6)
Use the
MODE
switch to dial up one of 11 synthesizer modes with 4 different waveforms.
1.
SAW
(sawtooth wave that produces sharp-edged sound)
2. SAW (sawtooth wave one octave lower than mode 1)
3. SAW (sawtooth wave with automatic filter frequency shifting)
4.
SQUARE
(square wave that produces milder sound than the sawtooth modes)
5. SQUARE (similar to mode 4 with additional square wave one octave below)
6. SQUARE (square wave with automatic filter frequency shifting)
7.
PULSE
(pulse wave that produces sharp-edged sound different from sawtooth modes)
8. PULSE (pulse wave with all-pass filter for more depth and motion)
9. PULSE (pulse wave with pulse width modulation for fat, spre ading sound)
10.
WAVE
(input signal is directly transformed to a synthesizer sound. Filter rises when string is
played and returns gradually)
11. WAVE (similar to mode 10, but filter
drops
when string is played and returns gradually)
(7)
The
ON/BATT
LED illuminates when the effect is activated and flashes when the PITCH HOLD
function is active (see below). It also serves as a battery level indicator.
(8)
Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect. Keeping the footswitch depressed will
activate the
PITCH HOLD
function (modes 1 - 9 only) that causes the unit to output the effect
signal continuously, even if the bass is not played at this moment (ON/BATT LED flashes). You can
also play the bass while keeping the footswitch pressed and mix the continuously output effect
signal with the direct bass signal. Release the footswitch to deactivate this function.
(9)
Use this 1/4" TS
IN
connector to plug in the instrument cable.
(10)
The two 1/4" TS
OUT
and
DIR OUT
connectors send the signal to your amp. Use both connectors if
you want to separate the unprocessed input signal (> DIR OUT) and the synthesized signal (> OUT).
To mix both signals together use OUT only.
