Phase: 0-120
This parameter allows you to adjust the phase angle of the effect. Press the [NEXT] button to select this
parameter. Use the [+] and [-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons to set the phase angle.
[DRAWBAR DISTORT] Parameters
These parameters affect the Drawbar distortion sound. Press the [DRAWBAR DISTORT] button in the
EFFECTS section to access these parameters:
Drawbar Distort
Input Gain: -50-50
This parameter allows you to set the input gain which determines the amount of distortion that will be heard.
Use the [+]/[-] buttons to set the gain level. (This parameter is variable to allow the input signal to reach the
threshold (see the following).)
Ret Level: 0-127
This parameter allows you to set the return level; the volume of the distortion sound. Press [NEXT] to select
this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to set the level.
(Note: The Threshold, Flatten and Peaking parameters represent very technical aspects of sound
manipulation. Rather than trying to explain the technicalities of what is happening, we urge you to
experiment - your ears will tell you when you've got the sound you want!)
Threshold P: -10-10
This parameter allows you to set the positive (P) threshold point; the point at which the following parameters
will take effect. Press [NEXT] to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to set the positive threshold;
lower numbers mean the Flatten and Peaking parameters will have a greater affect; signals below this
threshold are unaffected.
Threshold N: -10-10
This parameter allows you to set the negative (N) threshold point; the point at which the following
parameters will take effect. Press [NEXT] to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to set the negative
threshold; higher numbers mean the Flatten and Peaking parameters will have a greater affect; signals above
this threshold are unaffected.
Flatten P: -50-50
This parameter allows you to control the positive (P) rounding shape of the waveform above Threshold P.
Press [NEXT] to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to shape the waveform.
Flatten N: -50-50
This parameter allows you to control the negative (N) rounding shape of the waveform below Threshold N.
Press [NEXT] to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to shape the waveform.
Peaking P: -50-50
This parameter allows you to adjust the positive (P) peaking shape of the waveform above Threshold P.
Press [NEXT] to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to adjust the positive peak signal.
Peaking N: -50-50
This parameter allows you to adjust the negative (N) peaking shape of the waveform below Threshold N.
Press [NEXT] to select this parameter. Use the [+]/[-] buttons to adjust the negative peak signal.
[DRAWBAR CLICK] Parameter
This button turns the Drawbar Click effect on and off and also allows you to access the Click Filter
parameter. Use the [+]/[-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons to set the 'Click Flt' level (0-127); the brightness of the click
noise heard. Additional Drawbar Click parameters can be accessed by pressing the [CURRENT
DRAWBAR] button or any of the [DRAWBAR PRESET] buttons ([A], [B] or [C]).
