Chapter 4 Introduction to Effects and Parameters
STR (Sitar Simulator)
This simulates the sound of the sitar.
FB (Feedbacker)
This allows you to use feedback playing techniques.
* Note that the notes you want to apply feedback to must be
played singly and cleanly.
* You can use the foot switch to switch the effect on and off. For
*1
Setting available with Mode set to OSC.
Parameter/
Range
Explanation
Tone
-50–+50
This adjusts the tone.
The high end is boosted as the value increases.
Sens
0–100
Adjusts the sensitivity of the sitar.
When it is set to a lower value, no effect of the sitar is obtained with
weaker picking, while stronger picking produces the effect. When it
is set to a higher value, the effect of the sitar can be obtained whether
the picking is weak or strong.
Depth
0–100
This adjusts the amount of effect applied.
Resonance
0–100
This adjusts the undulation of the reso-
nance.
Buzz
0–100
Adjusts the amount of characteristic buzz
produced by the “buzz bridge” when the
strings make contact with it.
Effect Level
0–100
Adjust the volume of the sitar sound.
Direct Level
0–100
Adjust the volume of the direct sound.
Parameter/
Range
Explanation
Mode
OSC, Natural
Select either oscillator “OSC” or natural
“Natural.”
OSC (Oscillator)
An artificial feedback sound will be created internally.
When OSC is selected, the effect is activated after a single note is
played and the note stabilizes. A feedback effect is created when the
effect switches on; the feedback disappears when the OSC effect
switches off.
Natural
Analyzes the pitch of the guitar sound being input, and then creates
a feedback sound.
Rise Time *1
0–100
This determines the time needed for the vol-
ume of the feedback sound to reach its max-
imum from the moment the effect is turned
on.
Rise Time (
▲
) *1
0–100
This determines the time needed for the vol-
ume of the one octave higher feedback
sound to reach its maximum from the mo-
ment the effect is turned on.
F.B.Level (Feedback Level)
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the feedback sound.
F.B.Level (
▲
) *1
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the one octave higher
feedback sound.
Vibrato Rate *1
0–100,
BPM
–BPM
Adjusts the rate of the vibrato when the
feedbacker is on.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to
the value of the Master BPM (p. 51) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM
when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [
] several times to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Vibrato Depth *1
0–100
Adjusts the depth of the vibrato when the
feedbacker is on.
