Dist Flange Rate
Range: 00 to 99
This parameter controls the rate of modulation of the notches due to the flanger
effect A setting of 00 effectively turns the flanger off.
System Feedback
Range: -99 to +99
This parameter controls the amount of signal applied from the output of the reverb
back into the input of the compressor. The sign of the value determines the
polarity of the feedback.
Note: Since the feedback level is taken from BUS1, if BUS1 is set to 00 or a low value,
feedback will have little or no consequence. Also, it is important to note that
since the signal is being taken from the reverb, which is also fed by BUS2,
voices sent to BUS2 will enter the feedback loop along with the BUS1 signals.
DIST+CHO+REV
A brighter amp simulator that features distortion, chorus, and reverb, but
without the compressor. The three effects can be run either in a series or in
parallel, depending on how the three BUS parameters are set This effect uses the
triple effect mixing scheme shown earlier in this section.
Bus1 Dist Into Chor Mix — Distortion Into Chorus Mix
This parameter determines how much of the output from the distortion bus will be
fed into Bus 2 for added chorusing. Setting this parameter to 00 will cause the
output from the distortion bus to go directly to the main outputs.
Bus2 Chor Into Rev Mix — Chorus Into Reverb Mix
This parameter determines how much of the output from the chorus bus will be
fed into Bus 3 for added reverb. Setting this parameter to 00 will cause the output
from the chorus bus to go directly to the main outputs.
Bus3 Reverb Mix
Sets the wet/dry mix of the reverb.
Dist Gain — (In and Out)
See the description under CMP+DIST+REV.
Dist Filter FC — Filter Cutoff
Range: 00 to 99
This determines the filter cutoff frequency (brightness) of the distortion. For a
complete description of filters, see Section 7 — Voice Parameters.
Dist Filter Q — Resonant Peak
Range: 01 to 25
This parameter determines the level of the resonant peak at the filter cutoff point.
While the FC (filter cutoff) parameter determines where (at what frequency) this
peak will occur, the Q setting controls the presence of the peak.
