EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS)

EFFECT FUNCTIONS

This unit can produce beat effects linked to the BPM, and sound-color
effects linked to the COLOR dials provided for each channel, for a
total of 18 basic effects (including [SND/RTN]). In addition, by
changing the parameters for each kind of effect, an extremely wide
range of effect variations can be produced.
A wide variety of beat effects can be achieved by varying the
temporal parameter via the TIME dial (Parameter 1), as well as
quantitative parameter via the LEVEL/DEPTH dial (Parameter 2).
Sound-color effect changes can be added by varying the position of
the COLOR dials. By combining beat effects and sound-color effects,
an even greater range of performance effects can be produced.

TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS

1. DELAY (One repeat sound)

This function allows a delay sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4,
1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply. For
example, When a 1/2 beat delay sound is added, four beats
become eight beats. Also, by adding a 3/4 beat delay sound,
the rhythm becomes syncopated.

Example

Original
(4 beats)

1/2 delay
(8 beats)

3. REVERSE DELAY (One repeat sound)

This function allows an inverted delay sound with beat of 1/8,
1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and
simply.

Example

Original

1/1 reverse
delay

1 beat

1 beat

5. Auto TRANS

In units of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat, the
sound is automatically cut in synch with the rhythm.

Example

1 cycle = 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1,

or 16/1 beat

2. ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds)

This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2,
3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply.
For example, when a 1/1 beat echo sound is used to cutoff the
input sound, a sound in synch with the beat is repeated together
with fadeout.
Also, by adding a 1/1 beat echo to the microphone, the
microphone sound repeats in synch with the music beat.
If a 1/1 beat echo is applied to the vocal portion of a track, the
song takes on an effect reminiscent of a “round”.

Example

1 beat

4. Auto PAN (L-R BALANCE)

This function distributes sounds in units of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2,
1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to right and left channels in synch with
the rhythm (auto beat pan).
Also, short auto pan can be performed, allowing sounds to be
distributed to right/left very quickly, an effect impossible to
perform manually.

Example

1 cycle = 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1,

or 16/1 beat
