Parameter Value Explanation
Mode
S, M, L, S+M, S+L,
M+L, S+M+L
Combination of playback heads to use
Select from three different heads with
different delay times.
S: Short
M: Middle
L:
Long
Repeat Rate 0–127
Tape speed
Increasing this value will shorten the spacing
of the delayed sounds.
Intensity 0–127 Amount of delay repeats
Bass -15–+15 [dB]
Boost/cut for the lower range of the echo
sound
Treble -15–+15 [dB]
Boost/cut for the upper range of the echo
sound
Head S Pan L64–63R
Independent panning for the short, middle,
and long playback heads
Head M Pan L64–63R
Head L Pan L64–63R
Tape Distortion 0–5
Amount of tape-dependent distortion to be
added
This simulates the slight tonal changes
that can be detected by signal-analysis
equipment. Increasing this value will increase
the distortion.
W/F Rate 0–127
Speed of wow/flutter (complex variation in
pitch caused by tape wear and rotational
irregularity)
W/F Depth 0–127 Depth of wow/flutter
Echo Level 0–127 Volume of the echo sound
Direct Level 0–127 Volume of the original sound

Parameter Value Explanation
Pre Filter Type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Selects the type of filter applied to the sound
before it passes through the Lo-Fi effect.
1: Compressor off
2–6:
Compressor on
LoFi Type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Degrades the sound quality. The sound
quality grows poorer as this value is
increased.
Post Filter Type OFF, LPF, HPF
Selects the type of filter applied to the sound
after it passes through the Lo-Fi effect.
OFF: No filter is used.
LPF: Cuts the frequency range above the
Cutoff Freq
HPF:
Cuts the frequency range below the
Cutoff Freq
