Insert Effect Parameter Functions
Section 3
De-esser
Useful for reducing ‘sibilant’ or ‘S’ sounds produced by a vocalist.
On/Off
OFF, ON
This parameter turns the de-esser effect on/off.
Sibilant
0–100
Adjusts the sensitivity relative to the input volume, which controls 
how the effect is applied.
Level
0–100
Adjusts the volume.
Defretter
This simulates a fretless bass.
On/Off
OFF, ON
This parameter turns the defretter effect on/off.
Sens
0–100
This controls the input sensitivity of the Defretter. It should be 
adjusted for the bass guitar you have until you get the harmonic 
changes to sound natural.
Attack
0–100
This controls the attack of the Defretter. Increasing the value will 
cause the harmonics to change more slowly, thus producing a 
relatively attack-less sound, similar to a fretless bass.
Depth
0–100
This controls the ratio of harmonics. Increasing the value will 
increase the harmonic content and therefore will create a more 
unusual sound.
Level
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the defretter sound.
Delay
This creates a thicker sound by applying a delayed sound to the 
direct sound.
On/Off
OFF, ON
This parameter turns the delay effect on/off.
Type
This Parameter selects the type of delay.
SINGLE:
This is a simple delay.
TAP:
The delayed sound is panned across the left and right channels. This 
will be effective when stereo recording.
Dly Tme
SINGLE: 1–1400 ms, TAP: 1–700 ms
This parameter adjusts the delay time (i.e., the interval for which 
sound is delayed).
Feedback
0–100
This parameter adjusts the amount of feedback. Changing the 
amount of feedback causes the number of time the delayed sound is 
repeated to change as well.
E.Level
0–120
Adjusts the volume of the delay sound.
Doubling
By adding a slightly time-delayed sound to the direct sound, this 
produces the impression that multiple sources are sounding together 
(a “doubling” effect). Best results will be achieved when stereo 
recording.
*
This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter 
is set to “DOUBLING.”
On/Off
OFF, ON
This parameter turns the doubling effect on/off.
Dly Tme
0.5–50.0 ms
This parameter adjusts the delay time (i.e., the interval for which 
sound is delayed).
Separation
-50– +50
Adjusts the diffusion. The panning of the direct sound and effect 
sound can be spread to left and right.
*
This effect is obtained with stereo recording (using two tracks).
E.Level
0–120
This adjusts the volume of the delay sound.
Enhancer
By adding sounds which are out-of-phase with the direct sound, this 
effect enhances the definition of the sound, and pushes it to the 
forefront.
On/Off
OFF, ON
This parameter turns the enhancer effect on/off.
Sens
0–100
Adjusts the manner in which the enhancer will be applied relative to 
the input signals.
Freq
1.0–10.0 kHz
Adjusts the frequency at which the enhancer effect will begin to be 
applied. The effect will be made apparent in the frequencies above 
the frequency set here.
Mix Level
0–100
Adjusts the amount of phase-shifted sound of the range set 
by “Frequency” that is to be mixed with the input.
Lo Mix Lvl
0–100
Adjusts the amount of phase-shifted sound of the lower range that is 
to be mixed with the input. The frequency range in which the effect 
is applied is fixed.
Level
0–100
Adjusts the volume of the enhanced sound.
