Microphone simulator
When recording vocals or acoustic instruments with a dynamic microphone, this effect can be used to achieve
characteristics resembling those of a high-quality condenser mike. The simulator also provides limiter and enhancer
effects specially geared for microphone recording. Effects of this section are best for track recording in configurations
such as shown in the connection example "Recording (1) (Insert)" on page 4.

MIC SIMULATOR
VARIATION
(Vocal/Instrument)
This effect allows you to achieve condenser mike characteristics while
using economical dynamic microphones. The available variations are
"Vocal" with a full and well-rounded midrange and natural treble, and
"Instrument" with the delicate sound of a condenser mike.
Selects the variation (Vocal
or Instrument).
Threshold
Adjusts the limiter
sensitivity.
Enhance
Adjusts the high-range
enhancer depth.
Dry Thru
In bypass mode, only
the unprocessed original
sound is output.
This setting gives
depth and impact to
rock vocals.
Suitable for recording the
natural sound of an acoustic
guitar.

COMP/LIMITER
VARIATION
(Compressor/Limiter)
This effect processes the dynamic range of the sound, for keeping the signal
level within a certain range. There are two variations: the compressor which
raises signals below a certain threshold level and attenuates signals above a
certain level, and the limiter which only attenuates signals above a certain level.
Selects the effect
variation (Compressor
or Limiter).
Release
Adjusts the time lag between the point
where the signal falls below the threshold
level and the end of compressor action.
Should be short for single instruments
and longer for ensembles.
Threshold
Adjusts the threshold
level where the
compressor/limiter
becomes active.
Compressor with
pronounced attack.
Limiter for preventing
sudden level changes.

CABINET SIM
VARIATION
(Combo/Stack)
This effect adds a speaker cabinet character to the sound of an electric
guitar that has been processed by distortion effects or a multi-effect
device, resulting in realistic amplifier sound. The available variations are
"Combo" (combo amplifier sound) and "Stack" (stack amplifier sound).
Selects the effect variation
(Combo or Stack).
Presence
Adjusts the level of the
ultra-high range.
This setting is optimized to produce a stack amplifier sound
for a signal that has been processed by a distortion effect.
Depth
Adjusts the depth of the
cabinet effect.
In bypass mode, only the
unprocessed original sound
is output.
