APPENDIX B: FX TRACK PARAMETERS
75
MUP
(Makeup Gain) sets the makeup gain of the compressor output, to compensate for the reduced
signal levels caused by compression. (0–127)
RAT
(Compression Ratio) There are four different compression ratios, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 and MAX. Higher ratios
result in greater compression of the signal.
SEQ
(Sidechain EQ) filters the signal before it is analyzed by the compressor in one of the following
ways:
• OFF
lets the sidechain signal remain unchanged.
• LPF
lowpass filters the signal before analysis, making the compressor react mostly to the bass. Use
this setting for a characteristic pumping compressor sound.
• HPF
passes the signal through a highpass filter before it is analyzed, making the compressor react
less to the bass. Use this setting to avoid pumping.
• HIT
results in a balanced equalization of the sidechain signal, making the compressor react similarly
to all frequencies of the signal.
MIX
(Dry/Wet Mix) sets the mix of the uncompressed signal and the compressor output signal. The left
extreme setting results in a completely uncompressed signal. The extreme right setting lets only the
compressed signal pass through. All values in between mix the uncompressed signal with the com-
pressed signal, also known as parallel compression. A definitive Motown compression effect may be
achieved at moderate MIX settings combined with high RAT and low MUP settings. (0–127)
VOL
(Volume) sets the volume of the output signal. (0–127)
B.5 FX LFO
The FX track LFO page parameters are shown and explained below.
LFO1 (page 1)
SPD (Speed) sets the speed of the LFO. For the LFO to be synced to straight beats, try settings of 8, 16
or 32. The knob is bi-polar. The LFO cycle can be played backward by using negative values. (-64–+63)
MUL
(Multiplier) multiplies the SPD parameter by the set factor. (x) multiplies the current tempo, (dot)
syncs the LFO to 120 BPM regardless of the tempo. 24 settings: (12 tempo synced, 12 free).
FAD
(Fade In/Out) makes it possible to fade in/fade out the LFO modulation. The knob is bipolar. Positive
values give a fade-out, negative values give a fade-in. A mid position (0) will result in no fade in/fade out.
(-64–+63)
DST
(Destination) selects the destination for the LFO. A list will appear when you turn the knob. Choose
a parameter from any of the parameter pages. Turn the knob clockwise to go down the list, counter-
clockwise to go up. Preview how the LFO modulation will affect the sound by highlighting a destination.
Confirm a selection by pressing [YES/SAVE].
WAV
(Waveform) sets the LFO waveform. There are seven waveforms: Triangle, Sine, Square, Sawtooth,
Exponential, Ramp and Random.
SPH
(Start Phase) sets the wave phase where the LFO will start when it is trigged. (0–127) 0 is the start
of a complete wave cycle, and 127 is the end point. 64 is the dead center.
MOD
(Trig Mode) sets how the LFO will act when a note is trigged. Five settings exist.
• FRE
is the default free-running mode. It makes the LFO run continuously, never restarting or stop-
ping.
• TRG
makes the LFO restart when a note is trigged.
• HLD
makes the LFO run free in the background, but when a note is trigged the LFO output level is
latched and held still until the next note is trigged.
• ONE
will make the LFO start from the beginning when a note is trigged, run for one cycle and then
stop, making the LFO act like an envelope.
• HLF
will make the LFO start from the beginning when a note is trigged, run for half a cycle and then
stop.
