THE EFFECTS
At the bottom left of the panel is the effects
section, divided into an EFFECTS and a DELAY/
REVERB block. This gives you access to Distor-
tion, Phaser and Chorus effects as well as De-
lay and Reverb.

The TYPE/MIX and INTENSITY knobs in the EF-
FECTS block are used to control the distortion,
phaser and chorus effects. They always apply
to one of the three simultaneous effects only,
selectable via the Select button. The following
parameters can be controlled using these two
knobs:

The lower EDIT button in the DELAY/REVERB
section lets you switch between the Delay and
Reverb effects. The SEND control determines
the proportion of the selected effect within the
signal; DELAY/REV TIME controls Delay time or

If Delay or Reverb are synchronized to the
clock, DELAY/REV TIME controls the time ex-
pressed as a note value (1/16, 1/8, etc.).

DISTORTION
The Distortion effect is actually a collection of
several different algorithms, which are selecta-
ble via the TYPE/MIX control:
several different algorithms, which are selecta-
ble via the TYPE/MIX control:
- OFF No distortion
- LIGHT, SOFT, MIDDLE, HARD Four analog
distortion curves, with differing characteris-
tics and intensities.
tics and intensities.
- DIGITAL Digital distortion with hard clipping.
Shaper. Sine characteristic with multiple wave
cycles. Signals sent through the Shaper can
be changed quite drastically; the results are
often similar to the spectra of linear FM (fre-
quency modulation).

- RECTIFIER Variable half-wave rectification;

- BITREDUCER Variable reduction of the bit
