TR (Tremolo)
Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume.
PH (Phaser)
By adding varied-phase portions to the direct sound, the
phaser effect gives a whooshing, swirling character to the
sound.
Low
-50–+50
Adjusts the tone for the low frequency
range.
High
-50–+50
Adjusts the tone for the High frequency
range
Body
0–100
Adjusts the way the body sounds when
Type is set to ‘S’

The body sound increases as the value is raised; reducing the value
produces a tone similar to that from a piezo pickup.
Level
0–100
Adjusts the volume.
Parameter/
Range
Explanation
Wave Shape
0–100
Adjusts changes in volume level.
Rate
0–100,
BPM
–BPM
Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the change.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to
the value of the Master BPM (p. 51) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM
when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [
] several times to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Depth
0–100
Adjusts the depth of the effect.

Type
see below
Selects the number of stages that the phaser
effect will use.
4 Stage
This is a four-phase effect. A light phaser ef-
fect is obtained.
8 Stage
This is an eight-phase effect. It is a popular
phaser effect.
12 Stage
This is a twelve-phase effect. A deep phase
effect is obtained.
Bi-Phase
This is the phaser with two phase shift cir-
cuits connected in series.
Rate
0–100,
BPM
–BPM
This sets the rate of the phaser effect.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to
the value of the Master BPM (p. 51) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM
when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [
] several times to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Depth
0–100
Determines the depth of the phaser effect.
Manual
0–100
Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser
effect.
Resonance
0–100
Determines the amount of resonance (feed-
back).
Increasing the value will emphasize the effect, creating a more un-
usual sound.
Step Rate
Off, 0–100,
BPM
–BPM
This sets the cycle of the step function that
changes the rate and depth.
When it is set to a higher value, the change will be finer. Set this to
“Off” when not using the Step function.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to
the value of the Master BPM (p. 51) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM
when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [
] several times to
display the Master BPM settings screen.
Effect Level
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the phaser.
Direct Level
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
