This effect modulates the volume level of the input signal. The 
effect is stereo, and offsetting the LFO of the left and right 
phases from each other produces a tremolo effect between left 
and right.

This parameter selects the LFO waveform. “Vintage” wave simu-
lates the characteristics of the tremolo created on a guitar amplifier. 
Combining this effect with the Amp Simulation will make a realistic, 
vintage tremolo amplifier sound.

This parameter determines the difference between the left and right 
LFO phases. A higher value will simulate the auto-pan effect in 
which the sound is panned between left and right.

This Auto Pan effect pans sound between left and right. It is ste-
reo, and shifting the left and right LFO phases from each other 
will simulate the sound of the left and right channels crossing 
over each other by turns, or chasing each other.

You can change the panning curve by modifying the LFO wave-
form.

This parameter determines the difference in the left and right LFO 
phases. When you change the value gradually from “0,” the sound 
from the left and right channels will chase each other around. If you 
set the parameter to“ +180” or “–180,” the sound from each channel 
will cross over each other. You need to input different sounds to 
each channel in order for this parameter to be effective.

This Ensemble effect has three chorus blocks that use LFO to 
create subtle shimmering, and gives three dimensional depth 
and spread to the sound, because the signal is output from the 
left, right, and center.

This parameter sets the amount of shimmering of the LFO wave-
form. Increasing this value adds more shimmering, making the cho-
rus effect more complex and richer.

This effect compresses the input signal to regulate the level and 
give a “punchy” effect. It is useful for guitar, piano, and drum 
sounds. This is a stereo compressor. You can link left and right 
channels, or use each channel separately.

This parameter selects whether the left and right channels are linked 
to control both signals simultaneously, or whether each channel is 
controlled independently.

The “Sensitivity” parameter sets the sensitivity of the compressor. If 
this parameter is set to a higher value, lower level sounds will be 
boosted. With a higher Sensitivity, the overall volume level is higher. 
To adjust the final volume level, use the “Output Level” parameter.

Controls the strength of the attack that is characteristic of a compres-
sor.

The Limiter regulates the input signal level. It is similar to the 
Compressor, except that the Limiter compresses only signals 
that exceed the specified level to lower unnecessary peak sig-
nals. The Limiter applies a peaking-type EQ to the trigger signal 
(which controls the degree of the Limiter effect), allowing you 
to set any band width to be covered. This effect is a stereo lim-
iter. You can link left and right channels, or use each channel 
individually.

When “L/R Mix” is selected for this parameter, the left and right 
channels are linked to control the Limiter using the mixed signal. If 
“L Only” (or “R Only”) is selected, the left and right channels are 
linked, and the Limiter is controlled via only the left (or right) chan-
nel.
