Insert Effect Parameter Functions
Section 4
Chromatic (with SQUARE, SAW) OFF, ON
This switches on or off the chromatic function. When it is on, the
pitch change of the synthesizer sound is in semitone steps. This does
not respond to pitch changes less than a semitone, such as what
might be obtained with bending or vibrato. Thus, this is effectively
used for realistically playing musical instruments whose pitch will
change in steps greater than a semitone, such as a keyboard.
Key (with SQUARE, SAW) OFF, C–B
Specify the key of the song you are playing. By setting the key, you
can produce harmonies from the three-voice synth sounds.
The key setting corresponds to the key of the song (#,
b
) as follows.
fig.04-126
Intervl 1–3 (with SQUARE, SAW)
(Key: OFF) -12–0–+12, (Key: C–B) -1 oct–Tonic–+1 oct
This sets the intervals for the three-voice synth sound pitches.
When Key is set to OFF, the intervals are fixed.
When Key is set to C–B, harmonies are produced by the pitches as
they changes in response to the pitch of the guitar input.
Cutoff F 0–100
This adjusts the frequency where the harmonics contents of the
sound are cut off. This parameter determines the tone at the point
that the filter movement finally stops.
Resonance 0–100
This adjusts the filter resonance (the amount of feedback). Increasing
the value emphasizes the effect, creating a more unusual sound.
Fil Sens 0–100
This adjusts the sensitivity of the filter. When it is set to a lower
value, the filter is affected only with stronger picking. When it is set
higher, the filter changes even with weaker picking.
When it is set to “0,” the depth of the filter will be the same no matter
how the picking strength may be.
Fil Decay 0–100
This sets the rate for the filter’s movement. The filter moves more
slowly as the value is increased.
Fil Depth -100–100
This adjusts how much the filter shifts. When a positive value is set,
playing a string causes the filter to go upwards, starting from the
conditions determined with the cutoff frequency. Conversely, the
movement is downward when the value is negative. The change
becomes more dramatic as the numerical value is increased.
Attack DECAY, 0–100
This adjusts the time needed for a synthesizer sound to reach its
maximum. When it is set to a lower value, the sound will rise
quickly. When it is set higher, the sound will rise slowly. When it is
set to “Decay,” the sound will rise quickly and turn to a Release
status regardless of the input of the guitar sound.
* When “BRASS” or “BOW” is selected for the Wave, the attack time
will not be quicker from a certain level even if the attack is set to
“Decay” or “0.”
Release 0–100
This determines the time needed for the synthesizer sound to reach
zero from the moment the input of the guitar sound is completed.
* When “BRASS” or “BOW” is selected for the Wave, the guitar signal
itself is processed. That is, the synthesizer sound will go down when
the guitar signal goes down no matter how long the release may be set.
Velocity OFF, 0–100
This adjusts the amount of the volume change of the synthesizer
sound. When it is set to high, the volume change will be greater
depending on the picking strength. When it is set to “0,” no volume
change is caused even by changing the picking manner.
Pedal Hold (with SQUARE, SAW) OFF, ON
You can control the internal sound generator with the expression
pedal.
OFF:
No change is produced by operating the expression pedal.
ON:
The sound continues sounding at the pitch it had the moment the
expression pedal was depressed.
Portamento (with SQUARE, SAW) OFF, 1–100
This sets the portamento function (an effect that connects notes by
producing a smooth change in pitch from one note to the next).
Noise 0–100
This adjusts the noise added to the sound from the sound generator.
Adding noise gives the synth guitar a special type of ambience.
Dir Level 0–100
This determines the volume of the direct sound.
Syn 1–3 Level (with SQUARE, SAW) 0–100
This adjusts the volume of each of the three-voice synth sounds.
Syn Level (with BRASS, BOW) 0–100
This adjusts the volume of the synth sound.
