MIG (Mid Gain: -15 —-t-IS dB)
Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to mid-band
frequencies. A setting of 0 produces no boost or cut.
"Minus" values produce cut and "plus" values produce
boost.
MIF (Mid Frequency: 400 — 6.3 kHz)
Sets the center frequency of the Mid equalizer band.
HIG (High Gain: -15 — -i-IS dB)
Sets the amount of boost or cut applied to frequencies
above 6.3 kHz. A setting of 0 produces no boost or cut.
"Minus" values produce cut and "plus" values produce
boost.
LVL (Output Level: -41 — +6 dB)
Determines the output level of the effect.
SPED (Modulation Speed: 0.1 — 20.0 Hz)
Sets the speed of modulation and therefore the rate of
effect variation.
PMD (Pitch Modulation Depth: 0 — 100 %)
Sets the depth of delay time modulation. Higher values
deepen the pitch modulation portion of the effect.
AMD (Amplitude Modulation Depth: 0 — 100 %)
Sets the depth of amplitude modulation. Higher values
deepen the amplitude modulation portion of the effect.
MIX (Mixing Balance: 0 —100 %)
Sets the balance between the direct and effect sound.
Higher values produce a greater proportion of effect sound
in relation to direct sound.
LVL (Output Level: -41 — +6 dB)
Determines the output level of the effect.
■ MODULATION (MOD)
The MODULATION effect stage contains a number of
effects based on signal strength (amplitude) and signal
delay variation, or "modulation". The different
MODULATION effects are selected by the TYP (type)
parameter which appears at the left of every
MODULATION display screen.
• Flanger (Fig)
Flanging is a fairly pronounced effect based primarily on
delay time modulation. By adjusting the various
parameters you should be able to create an extremely
broad range of sounds, from gentle shimmering to wild
sweeps.

TYP (Type: Cho, Fig, Sym, Trm)
This parameter is common to all modulation programs, and
is used to select the desired effect. The various modulation
effects are indicated by the following abbreviations:
Cho: Chorus
Fig: Flanger
Sym: Symphonic
Trm: Tremolo
Each modulation effect has a slightly different set of
parameters. The parameters for each type are described
below.
• Chorus (Cho)
The chorus effect combines delay time and amplitude
modulation to effectively thicken and add warmth to the
sound.

SPED (Modulation Speed: 0.1 — 20,0 Hz)
Sets the speed of modulation and therefore the rate of
effect variation.
PEP (Depth: 0 — 100 %)
Sets the depth of modulation. Higher values produce
deeper modulation.
DLY (Delay Time: 0,2 —15.0 ms)
Sets the delay time. Delay times shorter than 1 msec
produce the greatest effect in the high-frequency range.
With delay times from 1 to 3 ms the effect extends to the
middle frequencies.
FB (Feedback: 0 — 100 %)
Determines the amount of effect-sound feedback returned
to the input of the processor. Higher values produce a
more pronounced effect.
