Environment Size: These three buttons, labeled S (Small), M (Medium) and L (Large) each 
set a different depth of the environment effect selected from the pull-down menu. 
Environment Depth Sliders (Front and Surround): These sliders allow you to set the 
depth of the environment effect on the front and surround channels. For example, turning 
up the surround channels and turning down the front channels will create a deeper rear-
sound field when listening to multi-channel sound sources. 

When activated by pressing the Enable button, this effect changes the 
pitch of a digital audio file as it plays—which is very useful to play or 
sing along with a song in a different key than the original. Note that 
this effect does not alter the original file, it only alters the audio in real-
time as it plays. Moving the slider to the left (-) will drop the pitch, 
while moving it to the right (+) will raise the pitch.  

When activated by pressing the Enable button, the level of sounds that 
are panned in the center of a stereo signal are reduced. Since many 
songs place the voice in the center, the effect is essentially a “voice 
canceller”, that may be used to remove any signal panned to the center 
of the mix, including vocals.  Note that this effect only works on digital 
inputs and does not work on analog signals, such as the line input.  
Since the effect operates by subtracting the left and right stereo signals, 
any sound that’s in both the Left and Right channels (i.e. panned to the center) will be 
reduced. When the slider control is in the far left position, there will be no alteration in the 
sound. As it is moved to the right, the center signal is attenuated.
