Using insert effects

Section 2

Makeup of effect patches

An effect patch is a named set of data that specifies the
various audio parameters for a single effect algorithm.

Meanwhile, each effect algorithm consists of a series of effect
blocks that have been combined in a manner that achieves
the algorithm’s purpose. For example, the COSM OD
GUITAR AMP algorithm is configured as follows:

Example: COSM OD GUITAR AMP algorithm

fig.31-01a

OD•DS:

COSM Overdrive / Distortion

AMP•SP:

COSM Amp Modeling

EQ:

4-band Equalizer

:

As another example, let’s look at the 8CH COMP EQ
algorithm that is used when recording from eight inputs
simultaneously. This algorithm is configured as follows:

Example: 8CH COMP EQ algorithm

fig.31-01bÅ@(Algorithm diagram)

L.CUT1-8:

Low-cut Filters

COMP1-8:

Compressors

EQ1-8:

Three-Band Equalizers

In total, the BR-1600CD contains 18 such algorithms.

Modifying insert effect settings

To create a new effect, find the preset patch that is closest to
what you are looking for, and then change the settings to get
the sound just right. When you are saving a preset patch with
modified settings, you should save it as a user patch or a
song patch.

1.

Press [EFFECTS].

The Effects Patch screen will appear.

fig.31-01d

2.

Move the cursor to the patch number field and select a
patch using the TIME/VALUE dial.

When you move the cursor to the bank field and turn the
TIME/VALUE dial, you will be able to select a bank
other than that specified with the INPUT SELECT
button.

3.

Press [F2] (EDIT).

The Effects Edit screen will appear.

fig.31-02d

The left half of this screen will display the way in which
effect blocks are connected in this patch; the right half
will display the parameter settings for the effect block
currently highlighted by the cursor.

4.

Move the cursor to the effect block you want to edit.

fig.31-02ad

If the TIME/VALUE dial is turned counterclockwise at
this time, the solid lines indicating the effect block at the
current cursor position will switch to dotted lines,
indicating that the corresponding effect has been turned
off. Similarly, if the TIME/VALUE dial is turned
clockwise, the dotted lines will switch back to solid lines,
indicating that the effect has been turned on.
