Boss Audio Systems GT-100 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
EFFECT
17
SLICER
This consecutively interrupts the sound to create the impression that a
rhythm backing phrase is being played.
Parameter Value Explanation
PATTERN P1–P20
Select the slice pattern that will be used to
cut the sound.
RATE
0–100,
BPM
Adjust the rate at which the sound will be
cut.
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the “MASTER BPM” specied for
each patch. This makes it easier to achieve
eect sound settings that match the tempo
of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4
of that time.
TRIGGER
SENS
0–100
Adjust the sensitivity of triggering.
With low settings of this parameter, softly
picked notes will not retrigger the phrase
(i.e., the phrase will continue playing), but
strongly picked notes will retrigger the
phrase so that it will playback from the begin-
ning. With high settings of this parameter,
the phrase will be retriggered even by softly
picked notes.
EFFECT LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the eect sound.
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
VIBRATO
This eect creates vibrato by slightly modulating the pitch.
Parameter Value Explanation
RATE
0–100,
BPM
Adjusts the rate of the vibrato.
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the “MASTER BPM” specied for
each patch. This makes it easier to achieve
eect sound settings that match the tempo
of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4
of that time.
DEPTH 0–100 Adjusts the depth of the vibrato.
TRIGGER OFF, ON
This selects on/o of the vibrato.
* It is assumed that this parameter will be
assigned to the footswitch.
RISE TIME 0–100
This sets the time passing from the moment
the Trigger is turned on until the set vibrato
is obtained.
* When a patch with TRIGGER set to ON is
called up, the eect obtained is identical to
what happens when TRIGGER is switched
from O to On. If you want the vibrato
eect to be produced immediately after the
patches are switched, set RISE TIME to 0.
LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume.
RING MOD.
This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar sound with the
signal from the internal oscillator. The sound can be unmusical and lack
distinctive pitches.
Parameter Value Explanation
MODE
This selects the mode for the ring modulator.
NORMAL This is a normal ring modulator.
INTELLIGENT
By ring-modulating the input signal, a bell
like sound is created. The intelligent ring
modulator changes the oscillation frequency
according to the pitch of the input sound and
therefore produces a sound with the sense of
pitch, which is quite dierent from NORMAL.
This eect does not give a satisfactory
result if the pitch of the guitar sound is not
correctly detected. So, you must use single
notes, not chords.
FREQUENCY 0–100
Adjusts the frequency of the internal
oscillator.
EFFECT LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the eect sound.
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
HUMANIZER
This can create human vowel-like sounds.
Parameter Value Explanation
MODE
This sets the mode that switches the vowels.
PICKING
It changes from VOWEL 1 to VOWEL 2 along
with the picking. The time spent for the
change is adjusted with the rate.
AUTO
By adjusting the rate and depth, two vowels
(VOWEL 1 and VOWEL 2) can be switched
automatically.
VOWEL 1 a, e, i, o, u Selects the rst vowel.
VOWEL 2 a, e, i, o, u Selects the second vowel.
SENS *1 0–100
Adjusts the sensitivity of the humanizer.
When it is set to a lower value, no eect
of the humanizer is obtained with weaker
picking, while stronger picking produces
the eect. When it is set to a higher value,
the eect of the humanizer can be obtained
whether the picking is weak or strong.
RATE
0–100,
BPM
Adjusts the cycle for changing the two
vowels.
* When set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the
value of the “MASTER BPM” specied for
each patch. This makes it easier to achieve
eect sound settings that match the tempo
of the song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than
the range of allowable settings, it is then
synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4
of that time.
DEPTH 0–100 Adjusts the depth of the eect.
MANUAL *2 0–100
This determines the point where the two
vowels are switched. When it is set to 50,
VOWEL 1 and VOWEL 2 are switched in the
same length of time. When it is set to lower
than 50, the time for VOWEL 1 is shorter.
When it is set to higher than 50, the time for
VOWEL 1 is longer.
LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume.
*1 Setting available when MODE is set to PICKING.
*2 Setting available when MODE is set to AUTO.
