RE3 to RE7: Effect Amount

Displayed as:

(where n=1 to 5)

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

The precise function of this parameter depends on which FX device is loaded into the slot.
See the table below for a summary. The ive controls are identical, and there is one for each
slot. If the slot is bypassed, the encoder for that slot doesn’t do anything.

RE8: FX Level

Displayed as:

Initial value:

127

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

This adjusts the overall level of the processed signal (which is then mixed with the unproc-
essed signal). Note that the individual contributions of the processor in each FX Slot can
be adjusted with

RE3

RE7

(see below).

FX Menu Page 4 – FX parameters

The menu which appears as Page 4 is determined by the

SELECT

buttons [10], which can

be pressed to scroll up or down through the ive FX slots. A slot which has no FX device
loaded will display the following message:

Each FX device has its own menu; these are described in turn below.

EQ Menu

One equaliser device is available. It can be loaded into any FX slot.

The equaliser is a three-band ‘swept’ type, with cut/boost and frequency controls for each
band. The LF and HF sections are second-order (slope of 12 dB/octave) shelving ilters,
and the MF section is a bell-response ilter.

Note that

FXAmount

parameter should be set to 127 for the full gain range of

RE2

RE3

and

RE4

to be available.

RE1:

Not used.

RE2: LF Cut/Boost

Displayed as:

EQBasLvl

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

-64 to +63

This parameter controls the LF response of the equaliser; a value of 0 gives a lat response
in the LF region, positive values will give a rise in the LF response – i.e., more bass, and
negative values will have the opposite effect. The range of adjustment is ±12 dB (with

FXAmount

set to 127).

RE3: MF Cut/Boost

Displayed as:

EQMidLvl

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

-64 to +63

This parameter controls the MF response of the equaliser; a value of 0 gives a lat response
in the MF region, positive values will give a rise in the MF response – i.e., more mid-
frequencies (the voice region of the audio spectrum), and negative values will accordingly
reduce the MF response. The range of adjustment is ±12 dB (with

FXAmount

set to 127).

RE4: HF Cut/Boost

Displayed as:

EQTrbLvl

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

-64 to +63

This parameter controls the HF response of the equaliser; a value of 0 gives a lat response
in the HF region, positive values will give a rise in the HF response – i.e., more treble, and
negative values less treble. The range of adjustment is ±12 dB (with

FXAmount

set to 127).

RE5: LF Frequency

Displayed as:

EQBasFrq

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

The equaliser is a “swept” type, which means that in addition to being able to increase or
decrease the treble, mid or bass, you can also control the frequency band over which the
Cut/Boost controls are effective – i.e., just what is meant by “bass”, “mid” and “treble”.
This gives you much more accurate control over the frequency response. Increasing the
value of

EQBasFrq

increases the frequency below which the LF cut/boost control (

RE2

)

is effective, so in general,

RE2

will have more effect on the sound the higher the value of

EQBasFrq

. Decreasing the value of

EQBasFrq

will lower the frequency below which

the cut/boost control is effective with a value of 0 corresponding to approx. 140 Hz . The
maximum value of 127 corresponds to about 880 Hz and the default value of

to about

500 Hz.

RE6: MF Frequency

Displayed as:

EQMidFrq

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

Increasing the value of this parameter increases the “centre” frequency of the MF re-
sponse. The centre frequency is the one that gets the maximum amount of cut or boost as
you adjust

RE3

, and this control will have a proportionately decreasing effect on frequen-

cies above and below the centre frequency. The range of adjustment is from 440 Hz
(value =

) to 2.2 kHz (value =

127

). The default value of

corresponds to

approximately 1.2 kHz.

RE7: HF Frequency

Displayed as:

EQTrbFrq

Initial value:

Range of adjustment:

0 to 127

Decreasing the value of

EQTrbFrq

decreases the frequency above which the HF cut/boost

control (

RE3

) is effective, so in general,

RE3

will have more effect on the sound the lower

the value of

EQTrbFrq

. Increasing the value of

EQTrbFrq

will raise the frequency above

which the cut/boost control is effective, with a value of

127

corresponding to about 4.4 kHz.

A value of

corresponds to about 650 Hz and the default value of

to about 2 kHz.

RE8:

Not used.

Compressor Menu

Two compressor devices are available. These can be loaded into any two FX slots. Their
facilities are identical; the example below illustrates Compressor 1.

The compressors can be used to reduce the dynamic range of the synth sound/Input
audio, which gives the effect of “thickening” the sound and/or giving it more “punch” or
impact. They are particularly effective on sounds with a strong percussive content.
