HARMO
Here you can add overtones (harmonics) to the sound specified in the
GUITAR block.
Parameter
Value
Explanation
PITCH
-24–+24
Specifies the pitch of the harmonics
in semitone units. A setting of -24
produces a sound two octaves
below, and a setting of +24
produces a sound two octaves
above. With a setting of 0, a
harmonics sound at the same pitch
as the original sound is heard.
GAIN
0–100
Specifies the volume of the
harmonics sound. Larger values
increase the volume of the
harmonics sound.
ATTACK
0–100
Emphasizes the attack portion of
the harmonics sound. Larger values
emphasize the attack.
DIRECT LEVEL
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct
sound. Larger values increase the
volume of the direct sound.
FILTER
Here you can use a filter to add depth to the sound and shape the
tonal character.
Parameter
Value
Explanation
OVERTONE
0–100
Modifies the nuances of the
overtones. Larger values increase
the overtones, giving the sound
more depth.
ATTACK
0–100
Varies the nuances of the attack
portion. Larger values emphasize
the attack.
POWER BEND
0–100
Increasing this value will darken the
sound. At the same time, the tone
and volume will vary more easily in
response to pitch change such as
when using the vibrato arm.
SLIDE TIME
0–100
Larger values lengthen the time
over which the tone changes from
one note to the next on each string,
producing an effect of smooth
change between notes. At the same
time, it tends to suppress the attack.
OCTAVE
-1, 0, +1
Adjusts the center frequency of the
filter. A setting of 0 is the normal
state, and a setting of -1 applies
the filter at a frequency one octave
below. A setting of +1 applies the
filter at a frequency one octave
above.
COLOR
0–100
Modifies the nuances of the
overtones. Larger values produce a
more detailed sound.
TOUCH SENS
0–100
Specifies how your playing
dynamics on the guitar affect the
tonal character. With larger values,
stronger playing gives the sound
more depth.
Parameter
Value
Explanation
LEAD
EMPHASIS
0–100
Emphasizes the sound when single
notes are played.
With VIO guitar, single-note (single-
string) playing produces a lower
output than when chords are
played. Lead emphasis prevents this.
Larger values boost the volume
level of single notes. With a
setting of 0, single notes are not
emphasized.
