IMPORTANT NOTES

                                               30

Before using this unit, carefully read “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaflet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and Owner’s Manual 

(p. 30)). After reading, keep the document(s) including those sections where it will be available for immediate reference.

 

5

Thanks to 32-bit high-precision processing at a 96 kHz sampling rate from input to output, the MD-500 

gives you stunningly high-quality modulation effect.

 

5

With an easily readable screen and an independent [TAP/CTL] switch, it delivers both high 

functionality as well as ease of use during live performances.

 

5

Standard effects such as chorus, flanger, and phaser have been enhanced using cutting-edge 

Boss technology. The MD-500 provides a total of 12 modulation effects, including models of the 

Boss CE-1 and scanner vibrato.

 

5

The memory function lets you store and recall 297 different setups from internal memory. 

 

5

The MD-500 provides “simul mode” which lets you use two effects simultaneously, and an “insert 

loop function” which lets you shape your sound in conjunction with an external effect unit.

 

5

By connecting the MD-500 via a USB cable or MIDI cables, you can switch sounds and control 

parameters in synchronization with your computer DAW or an external MIDI device.
