EFFECT
16
SLICER
This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression
that a rhythm backing phrase is being played.
Knob
Parameter
Value
Explanation
Page 1
[1]
PATTERN
P1–P20
Select the slice pattern that will be
used to cut the sound.
[2]
RATE
0–100,
BPM –
Adjust the rate at which the sound
will be cut.
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according
to the value of the “MASTER BPM”
specified for each patch. This
makes it easier to achieve effect
sound settings that match the
tempo of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is
longer than the range of allowable
settings, it is then synchronized to
a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that
time.
[3]
SENS
(TRIGGER SENS)
0–100
Adjust the sensitivity of triggering.
With low settings of this parameter,
softly picked notes will not retrigger
the phrase (i.e., the phrase will
continue playing), but strongly
picked notes will retrigger the
phrase so that it will playback from
the beginning. With high settings
of this parameter, the phrase will be
retriggered even by softly picked
notes.
[4]
E .LEVEL
(EFFECT LEVEL)
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the effect
sound.

[1]
DIR .MIX
(DIRECT MIX)
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct
sound.
VIBRATO
This effect creates vibrato by slightly modulating the pitch.
Knob
Parameter
Value
Explanation
Page 1
[1]
RATE
0–100,
BPM –
Adjusts the rate of the vibrato.
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the “MASTER BPM” specified
for each patch. This makes it easier
to achieve effect sound settings that
match the tempo of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer
than the range of allowable settings, it is
then synchronized to a period either 1/2
or 1/4 of that time.
[2]
DEPTH
0–100
Adjusts the depth of the vibrato.
[3]
TRIGGER
OFF, ON
This selects on/off of the vibrato.
* It is assumed that this parameter will be
assigned to the footswitch.
[4]
RISE .TM
(RISE TIME)
0–100
This sets the time passing from the
moment the Trigger is turned on until the
set vibrato is obtained.
* When a patch with TRIGGER set to ON is
called up, the effect obtained is identical
to what happens when TRIGGER is
switched from Off to On. If you want
the vibrato effect to be produced
immediately after the patches are
switched, set RISE TIME to 0.

LEVEL
0–100
Adjusts the volume.
RING MOD
The sound can be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches.
Knob
Parameter
Value
Explanation
[1]
MODE
This selects the mode for the ring modulator.
NORMAL
This is a normal ring modulator.
INTELLI
(INTELLIGENT)
By ring-modulating the
input signal, a bell like sound
is created. The intelligent
ring modulator changes the
oscillation frequency according
to the pitch of the input sound
and therefore produces a sound
with the sense of pitch, which
is quite different from NORMAL.
This effect does not give a
satisfactory result if the pitch of
the guitar sound is not correctly
detected. So, you must use
single notes, not chords.
[2]
FREQ
(FREQUENCY)
0–100
Adjusts the frequency of the
internal oscillator.
[3]
E .LEVEL
(EFFECT LEVEL)
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the effect
sound.
[4]
DIR .MIX
(DIRECT MIX)
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct
sound.
HUMANIZER
This can create human vowel-like sounds.
Knob
Parameter
Value
Explanation
Page 1
[1]
MODE
This sets the mode that switches the vowels.
PICKING
It changes from VOWEL 1 to VOWEL 2
along with the picking. The time spent
for the change is adjusted with the rate.
AUTO
By adjusting the rate and depth, two
vowels (VOWEL 1 and VOWEL 2) can be
switched automatically.
[2]
VOWEL 1
a, e, i, o, u
Selects the first vowel.
[3]
VOWEL 2
a, e, i, o, u
Selects the second vowel.
[4]
SENS *1
0–100
Adjusts the sensitivity of the
humanizer.
When it is set to a lower value, no
effect of the humanizer is obtained
with weaker picking, while stronger
picking produces the effect. When it is
set to a higher value, the effect of the
humanizer can be obtained whether
the picking is weak or strong.

[1]
RATE
0–100,
BPM –
Adjusts the cycle for changing the two
vowels.
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according
to the value of the “MASTER BPM”
specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound
settings that match the tempo of
the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is
longer than the range of allowable
settings, it is then synchronized to
a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
[2]
DEPTH
0–100
Adjusts the depth of the effect.
[3]
MANUAL *2
0–100
Adjusts the cycle for changing the two
vowels. When it is set to lower than 50,
the time for VOWEL 1 is shorter. When
it is set to higher than 50, the time for
VOWEL 1 is longer.
[4]
LEVEL
0–100
Adjusts the volume.
*1 Setting available when MODE is set to PICKING.
*2 Setting available when MODE is set to AUTO.
