EFFECT FUNCTIONS

This unit is equipped with a total of 8 basic effects using beat effects and in-loops linked to the BPM. By changing the parameters for each effect, a wide variety of new effects can be produced. By using the BEAT/BANK buttons to set the time parameters, an even wider assortment of beat effects can be produced.

TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS

1. DELAY (One repeat sound)

This function allows a delay sound with beat of 1/2 , 3/4 , 1/1 , 2/1 or 4/1 to be added quickly and simply. For example, When a 1/2 beat delay sound is added, four beats become eight beats. Also, by adding a 3/4 beat delay sound, the rhythm becomes syncopated.

Original (4 beats)

1/2 delay (8 beats)

Example

2. ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds)

This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1 to be added quickly and simply.

For example, when a 1/1 beat echo sound is used to cutoff the input sound, a sound in synch with the beat is repeated together with fadeout.

Also, by adding a 1/1 beat echo to the microphone, the microphone sound repeats in synch with the music beat.

If a 1/1 beat echo is applied to the vocal portion of a track, the song takes on an effect reminiscent of a "round".

Example

3. FILTER

In units of 1/1 , 2/1 , 4/1 , 8/1 or 16/1 beat, the filter frequency is moved, greatly changing the sound coloration.

Example

4. FLANGER

In units of 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat, 1 cycle of flanger effect is produced quickly and easily.

Example

1 cycle = 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat

5. PHASER

In units of 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat, 1 cycle of phaser effect is produced quickly and easily.

Example

1 cycle = 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat

6. ROBOT

Generates a sound effect resembling that produced by a robot.

7. ROLL

Sounds of 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1 beat are recorded and output repetitively.

Example

Effect ON
1/1 roll

Repeat

PRODUCING BEAT EFFECTS

Beat effects allow the instant setting of effect times in synch with the BPM (beats per minute), thus allowing the production of a wide variety of effects in synch with the current rhythm, even during live performances.

1. Press the AUTO button to set the Beats Per Minute (BPM = track tempo) measuring mode.

AUTO: The AUTO button lights, and the BPM of the input sound is measured automatically.

TAP: The BPM is input manually by tapping on the TAP button. The AUTO button indicator does not light.

• Whenever power is first turned ON, the function defaults to the [AUTO] mode.
• In the event the track's BPM cannot be detected automatically, the display's BPM counter will flash.
• The effective range in the AUTO mode is 70 to 180 BPM. It may not be possible to measure some tracks accurately.

In this case, use the TAP mode for manual BPM input.

[Using the TAP Button for Manual BPM Input] If the TAP button is tapped two times or more in synch with beat (1/4 notes), the BPM will be recorded as the average value recorded during that interval.

• When BPM mode is set to [AUTO], tapping the TAP button will cause the BPM mode to change to the TAP mode, and the interval at which the TAP button is pressed will be measured.
• When the BPM is set via the TAP button, the beat multiple becomes "1/1" or "4/1" (depending on the effect selected), and the time for 1 beat (1/4 notes) or 4 beats will be set as the effect time.

[Using the BEAT/PITCH buttons for Manual BPM Input] By pressing the BEAT/PITCH buttons (-, +) while holding the TAP button depressed, the BPM can be changed.

• The BPM can be set from 40 to 999 in 1-step increments.

2. Set the effect selector to an effect other than [IN-LOOP SAMPLER].

See P. 10 regarding the various effects.

3. Set the effect channel selector to the channel you wish to apply the effect to.

• If [MIC] is selected, the effect will be applied to both microphone 1 and microphone 2.

4. Press one of the BEAT/BANK buttons to select the beat to which you wish to synchronize the effect.

• Values can be selected from [1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1] or [1, 2, 4, 8, 16] . (The multiple differs depending on the effect. See page 10 for details.)
• The selected button will light.
• The effect time corresponding to the beat's multiple is set automatically.

Example: When BPM=120

1 / 1 = 500ms
1 / 2 = 250ms
2 / 1 = 1000ms

5. Use the BEAT/PITCH buttons (-, +) to select the beat multiple to which you wish to synchronize the effects.

• When [+] is selected, the beat calculated from the BPM is doubled, and when [-] is pressed, the beat calculated from the BPM is halved.
• When the time parameter lies within the range calculated from the BPM, the BEAT/BANK button corresponding to that value lights. When the parameter falls between two beat values, both BEAT/BANK buttons will flash. When the values is less than 1/2 (1), the 1/2(1) button will flash, and when greater than 4/1 (16), the 4/1(16) button will flash.
• During use of [DELAY], [ECHO], or [ROLL] effects, if the [-] , [+] buttons are used to shift the multiple, the "3/4" value will be skipped. However, the 3/4 multiple can be selected by pressing the 3/4 button directly.

6. Rotate the LEVEL/DEPTH dial to set the quantitative parameter for the selected effect.

See P. 12 for details regarding the effect of rotating the dial on the parameter.

7. Set the ON/OFF button to ON to enable the selected effect.

Each time the button is pressed, the effect is toggled ON/OFF. (Whenever power is first turned ON, the function defaults to OFF).
- The ON/OFF button flashes when effects are ON.

IN-LOOP SAMPLER

This function detects the current track's BPM, and 4 beat sources are recorded in up to five memory banks, and played as loops in sync with the current track's BPM. Overlapped recording is also possible.

1. Set the effect selector to [IN-LOOP SAMPLER].

2. Set the effect channel selector to the channel you wish to sample record.

3. Measure the BPM.

• Perform step 1 of the section "PRODUCING BEAT EFFECTS" (P. 11). 11

4. Set the ON/OFF button to ON.

1. At the point you wish to sample record, press one of the non-lighted BEAT/BANK buttons.

2. Lighted BEAT/BANK buttons have already been recorded, and cannot be used again unless their recorded contents are erased.

3. Recording begins automatically when the sound signal from CD player or other component is detected. During recording, the BEAT/BANK button will flash quickly. During recording standby, the button will flash slowly at intervals.

4. When 4 beats of sound at the measured BPM have been recorded, the BEAT/BANK button flashes slowly and loop play is performed.

5. If the beat becomes unsynchronized, press one of the BEAT/PITCH buttons (-, +) to resynchronize the timing of the playback sample to the currently playing track.

6. The playback speed increases while the [+] button is depressed, and decreases while the [-] button is depressed.

7. Rotate the LEVEL/DEPTH dial to adjust the sound balance between source and sample.

8. To stop loop playback, press the corresponding BEAT/BANK button.
9. The BEAT/BANK button indicator will change from slow flashing to steadily lighted.
