Types of effects
Types of SOUND COLOR FX effects
Effect Name Descriptions COLOR control
SPACE
Applies a reverberation effect
to the original sound.
Turn counterclockwise: Applies the rever-
beration effect to the mid- and low ranges.
Turn clockwise: Applies the reverberation
effect to the mid- and high ranges.
DUB ECHO
Applies an echo effect, with
the sound delayed slightly
after the original sound
output several times and
gradually attenuated.
Turn counterclockwise: Applies the echo
effect to the mid-range only.
Turn clockwise: Applies the echo effect to the
high range only.
GATE/ COMP
Changes the texture of the
overall sound.
Turn counterclockwise: A gate effect makes
the sound tighter, with a reduced sense of
volume.
Turn clockwise: A compressor effect makes
the sound fatter, with an increased sense
of volume.
NOISE
White noise generated inside
this unit is mixed in to the
sound of the channel via the
filter and output.
! The volume can be
adjusted by turning the
[TRIM] controls for the
respective channels. The
sound quality can be
adjusted by turning the
[EQ/ ISO (HI, MID, LOW)]
controls.
Turn counterclockwise: The cut-off frequency
of the filter through which the white noise
passes gradually decreases.
Turn clockwise: The cut-off frequency of the
filter through which the white noise passes
gradually increases.
CRUSH
Changes the original sound
to a crushed-like sound for
output.
Turn counterclockwise: Increases the
sound’s distortion.
Turn clockwise: The sound is crushed before
passing through the high pass filter.
FILTER
Outputs sound that has
passed through a filter.
Turn counterclockwise: Gradually decreases
the low-pass filter’s cutoff frequency.
Turn clockwise: Gradually increases the high-
pass filter’s cutoff frequency.
Types of BEAT EFFECT
DELAY 1
A delay sound is output once according to the beat fraction set with the [BEAT c,
d
] buttons.
When 1/2 beat delay sound is added, 4 beats become 8 beats.
Original
(4 beats)
1/2 delay
(8 beats)
BEAT c, d buttons (param-
eter 1) Use these to set a time delay of 1/8 – 16/1 with respect to the
time of one beat of the BPM.
TIME control (parameter 2)
Use this to set the delay time.
1 to 4000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control
(parameter 3) Use this to set the balance between the original sound and the
delay sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Use this to set the delay time.
ECHO 1 2
A delay sound is output several times and gradually attenuated according to the
beat fraction set with the [BEAT c, d] buttons.
With 1/1 beat echoes, the delay sounds are faded out according to the track’s tempo
even after the input sound has been cut.
Input sound turned off

Fade-out
1 beat
BEAT c, d buttons (param-
eter 1) Use these to set a time delay of 1/8 – 16/1 with respect to the
time of one beat of the BPM.
TIME control (parameter 2)
Use this to set the delay time.
1 to 4000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control
(parameter 3) Use this to set the balance between the original sound and the
echo sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Use this to set the delay time.
SPIRAL
1 2
This function adds a reverberation effect to the input sound.
When the delay time is changed, the pitch changes simultaneously.
Input sound turned off
Time
Fade-out
1 beat
BEAT c, d buttons (param-
eter 1) Use these to set a time delay of 1/8 – 16/1 with respect to the
time of one beat of the BPM.
TIME control (parameter 2)
Use this to set the delay time.
10 to 4000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control
(parameter 3) Use this to set the balance between the original sound and the
effect sound and to set the quantitative parameter.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Use this to set the delay time.
REVERB 1 2
This function adds a reverberation effect to the input sound.
Level
Direct sound
Early reflected sound
Reverberations
1%
100%
Time
BEAT c, d buttons (param-
eter 1) Use these to set the extent of the reverberation effect, from 1 –
100 %.
TIME control (parameter 2)
Use this to set the degree of the reverb effect.
1 – 100 (%)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control
(parameter 3) Sets the balance between the original sound and the effect
sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) Sets the filter’s cut-off frequency.
TRANS 1
The sound is cut according to the beat fraction set with the [BEAT c, d] buttons.
Cut Cut
1/1 beat Time
BEAT c, d buttons (param-
eter 1) Use these to set a cut time of 1/16 – 16/1 with respect to the time
of one beat of the BPM.
TIME control (parameter 2)
Use this to set the effect time.
10 to 16000 (ms)
LEVEL/ DEPTH control
(parameter 3) Sets the balance between the original sound and the effect
sound.
X-PAD (parameter 4) This sets the cut time.
