VIMA JM-8

●

Delay HF Damp (200~8000Hz, Bypass)—Adjusts the frequency

above which sound fed back to the effect is filtered out. If you
don’t want to filter out any high frequencies, set this parameter
to BYPASS.

●

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.

●

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

●

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

●

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

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

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

23. 2 Pitch Shifter

A Pitch Shifter changes the pitch of the original sound. This 2-
voice effect contains two pitch shifters and adds two trans-
posed copies to the original sound.

●

Pitch Shift Mode (1~5)—Higher settings of this parameter will

result in slower response, but steadier pitch.

●

Pitch A Coarse (–24~0~+12 semitone)—Adjusts the pitch of Pitch

Shift A in semitone steps (–2~+1 octaves).

●

Pitch B Coarse (–24~0~+12 semitone)—Adjusts the pitch of Pitch

Shift B in semitone steps (–2~+1 octaves).

●

Pitch A Fine (–100~0~+100 cent)—Makes fine adjustments to

the pitch of Pitch Shift A in 2-cent steps (–100~+100 cents). One
cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

●

Pitch B Fine (–100~0~+100 cent)—Makes fine adjustments to the

pitch of Pitch Shift B in 2-cent steps (–100~+100 cents). One cent
is 1/100th of a semitone.

●

Pitch A Pre Delay (0.0~500.0ms)—Adjust the time delay from

when the direct sound begins until the Pitch Shift A sound is
heard.

●

Pitch B Pre Delay (0.0~500.0ms)—Adjusts the time delay from

when the direct sound begins until the Pitch Shift B sound is
heard.

●

Pitch A Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Adjusts the stereo location of the

Pitch Shift A sound. L64 is far left, 0 is center and 63R is far right.

●

Pitch B Panpot (L64~0~63R)—Adjusts the stereo location of the

Pitch Shift B sound. L64 is far left, 0 is center and 63R is far right.

●

Level Balance (A100:0B, A50:50B, A0:100B)—Adjusts the vol-

ume balance between the Pitch Shift A and Pitch Shift B sounds.
When set to A100:0B, only the sound of Pitch Shift A is output;
when set to A0:100B, only the sound of Pitch Shift B is output.

●

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

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

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

24. FBK Pitch

Pitch Shifter with several echoes.

●

Pitch Shift Mode (1~5)—Higher settings of this parameter will

result in slower response, but steadier pitch.

●

Pitch Coarse (–24~0~+12 semitones)—Adjust the pitch of the

pitch shifted sound in semitone steps (–2~+1 octaves).

●

Pitch Fine (–100~0~+100 cent)—Make fine adjustments to the

pitch of the pitch shifted sound in 2-cent steps (one cent is 1/
100th of a semi tone).

●

Pitch Pre Delay (0.0~500.0ms)—Adjust the time delay from

when the direct sound begins until the pitch shifted sound is
heard.

●

Pitch Feedback (–98%~0~98%)—Adjust the proportion (%) of

the processed sound that is fed back into the effect. Negative (–)
settings will invert the phase.

●

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.

●

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

●

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

●

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

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

●

Level (0~127)—Output level.

25. Reverb

A nice Reverb effect.

●

Reverb Type (Room 1, Room 2, Stage 1, Stage 2, Hall 1, Hall 2) —

Type of reverb.
Room1: Dense reverb with short decay.
Room2: Sparse reverb with short decay.
Stage1: Reverb with greater late reverberation.
Stage2: Reverb with strong early reflections.
Hall1: Reverb with clear reverberance.
Hall2: Reverb with rich reverberance.

●

Reverb Pre Delay (0.0~100.0ms)—Adjusts the delay time from

the direct sound until the reverb sound is heard.

●

Reverb Time (0~127)—Time length of reverberation.

●

Reverb HF Damp (200~8000Hz, Bypass)—Adjusts the frequency

above which sound fed back to the effect is filtered out. If you
don’t want to filter out any high frequencies, set this parameter
to BYPASS.

●

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

●

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

This is a special type of reverb in which the reverberant sound
is cut off before its natural length.

●

reverb.
NORMAL: Conventional gated reverb.
REVERSE: Backwards reverb.
SWEEP1: The reverberant sound moves from right to left.
