VIMA JM-8

●

Tweeter Slow Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)

●

Woofer Slow Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Slow speed (SLOW) of the

high- or low-frequency rotor.

●

Tweeter Fast Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)

●

Woofer Fast Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Fast speed (FAST) of the high-

or low-frequency rotor.

●

Rotary Speed (Slow, Fast)—Simultaneously switches the rota-

tional speed of the low-frequency and high-frequency rotors.
SLOW: Slows down the rotation to the “Slow Rate”. FAST:
Speeds up the rotation to the “Fast Rate”.

●

Tweeter Acceleration (0~15)

●

Woofer Acceleration (0~15)—Adjusts the time it takes the rotor

in question to reach the newly selected speed (“Fast” or
“Slow”). Lower values correspond to slower transitions.

●

Tweeter Level (0~127)

●

Woofer Level (0~127)—Volume of the rotor in question.

●

Separation (0~127)—Spatial dispersion of the sound.

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

10. Compressor

Reduces high levels (peaks) and boosts low levels, smoothing
out fluctuations in volume.

●

Compressor Sustain (0~127)—Allows you to specify how

strongly incoming signals should be compressed, which results in
a longer sustain.

●

Compressor Attack (0~127)—Sets the speed at which compres-

sion starts.

●

Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output sound. This

is a mono effect that combines incoming signals. You can, how-
ever, place the processed signal anywhere between the left and
right channels.

●

Compressor Post Gain (0, +6, +12, +18dB)—Adjusts the output

gain. Use this parameter to make up for a significant volume
loss due to extreme settings.

●

EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.

●

EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high range.

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

11. Limiter

Compresses signals that exceed the specified level, preventing
distortion from occurring. Unlike a compressor, it does not
boost the level of weaker signals.

●

Limiter Threshold (0~127)—Adjusts the volume at which com-

pression begins.

●

Limiter Release (0~127)—Allows you to specify how long signal

compression should remain in effect after the signal volume
falls below the Threshold value.

●

Limiter Ratio (1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1, 100:1)—Allows you to specify how

strongly volume peaks should be compressed. Choose “100:1” if
the Threshold level must never be exceeded (which is a true Lim-
iter function).

●

Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Stereo location of the output sound. This

is a mono effect that combines incoming signals. You can, how-
ever, place the processed signal anywhere between the left and
right channels.

●

Limiter Post Gain (0, +6, +12, +18dB)—Adjusts the output gain.

Use this parameter to make up for a significant volume loss due
to extreme settings.

●

EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.

●

EQ High Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the high range.

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

12. Hexa-Chorus

Uses a six-phase chorus (six layers of chorused sound) to create
a dense and spatial effect.

●

Chorus Pre Delay (0.0~100.0ms)—Adjusts the delay between the

incoming direct signal and the moment when the chorus starts
working.

●

Chorus Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Frequency, i.e. modulation speed.

●

Chorus Depth (0~127)—Modulation intensity.

●

Chorus Pre Delay Deviation (0~20)—Adjusts the differences in

Pre Delay between each chorus line (there are six of them).

●

Chorus Depth Deviation (-20~0~20)—Adjusts the difference in

modulation depth between each chorus sound.

●

Chorus Pan Deviation (0~20)—Adjusts the distribution of the

various chorus lines in the stereo image.
0: All chorus sounds are in the center.
20:

Each chorus sound will be spaced at 60 degree intervals rela-

tive to the center.

●

Balance (D100:0W, D50:50W, D0:100W)—Volume balance

between the direct (D) and the effect sound (W).

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

13. Trem Chorus

This is a chorus effect with added Tremolo (cyclic modulation
of volume).

●

Chorus Pre Delay (0.0~100.0ms)—Adjusts the delay between the

incoming direct signal and the moment when the chorus starts
working.

●

Chorus Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Frequency, i.e. modulation speed.

●

Chorus Depth (0~127)—Modulation intensity.

●

Tremolo Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Modulation frequency of the

tremolo effect.

●

Tremolo Separation (0~127)—Allows you to set the level of the

tremolo effect with respect to the chorus modulation.

●

Tremolo Phase (0~180 deg)—Spread of the tremolo effect.

●

Balance (D100:0W, D50:50W, D0:100W)—Volume balance

between the direct (D) and the effect sound (W).

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

14. Space-D

This is a multiple chorus that applies two-phase modulation in
stereo. It gives no impression of modulation, but produces a
transparent chorus effect.

●

Chorus Pre Delay (0.0~100.0ms)—Adjusts the delay between the

incoming direct signal and the moment when the chorus starts
working.

●

Chorus Rate (0.05~10.0Hz)—Frequency, i.e. modulation speed.

●

Chorus Depth (0~127)—Modulation intensity.

●

Chorus Phase (0~180deg)—Spatial spread of the sound.

●

EQ Low Gain (–15dB~0~15dB)—Gain of the low range.

●
