10. Overdrive Hall
11. Distortion Room
12. Live Dist.
These programs combine reverberation with the distortion
effect.
13. E/R Distortion
14. Slide Gate
15. Slow Gate Dist.
16. Reverse Dist.
These programs combine eariy reflections with the distortion
effect.
Distortion Levei (DISTORTION): 0 — 100%
Sets the “degree” or “depth” of the distortion portion of the
effect.
Distortion Level (DISTORTION): 0 — 100%
Sets the “degree” or “depth” of the distortion portion of the
effect.
Reverb Balance (REV BAL): 0 — 100%
Determines the amount of reverb applied to the distortion
sound.
Initial Reverb Delay (PRE DLY): 0.1
—
50 milliseconds
This parameter produces a delay between the arrival of the
input signai and the beginning of the reverb effect.
Reverb Time (REV TIME): 0.3 — 99 seconds
The length of time it takes for the level of reverberation at 1
kHz to decrease by 60 dB.
High Frequency Reverb Time Ratio (HIGH): xO.1 —
xl.O
This parameter allows alteration of the high-frequency
reverb time in relation to the overall reverb time.
E/R Balance (E/R BAL): 0 — 100%
Determines the amount of gate reverb or reverse gate effect
applied to the distortion sound.
Tone (TONE): 500 — 4000 Hz
This parameter produces a tonal emphasis in the selected
frequency range.
Early Reflection Pattern (TYPE): HALURANDOM/
REVERSE/PLATE
The TYPE parameter selects one of four different patterns of
early reflections.
Room Size (ROOM SIZE): 0.1 — 20
This parameter sets the time intervals between the early
reflections.
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 1 — 100
Determines the ampiitude of the input signal required to
trigger the effect. This parameter, in conjunction with the
RELEASE parameter below, functions effectively as a noise
gate to cut out hiss and noise when an input signal is not
present. TRG LEVEL should be set so that the effect is
activated only when a note is piayed on the instrument
used.
Release Time (RELEASE): 5 — 32000 milliseconds
Determines the amount of time it takes for the distortion
gate to close after the input signal drops below the trigger
level. Proper setting of the RELEASE parameter is essential
to allow a natural decay of the source instrument sound.
Liveness (LIVENESS): 0 — 1 0
Increasing the value of this parameter creates an increas­
ingly “live” sound, simuiating an increasing area of reflective
surfaces in a room.
Delay (DELA Y): 0.1 — 400 milliseconds
The time delay between the direct sound of the instrument
and the first of the early reflections.
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 1 — 100
Determines the amplitude of the input signal required to
trigger the effect. This parameter, in conjunction with the
RELEASE parameter below, functions effectively as a noise
gate to cut out hiss and noise when an input signal is not
present. TRG LEVEL should be set so that the effect is
activated only when a note is played on the instrument
used.
Release Time (RELEASE): 5
—
32000 milliseconds
Determines the amount of time it takes for the distortion
gate to close after the input signal drops below the trigger
level. Proper setting of the RELEASE parameter is essential
to allow a natural decay of the source instrument sound.
