Insert effect parameter functions
Effect Level 0–100
Adjusts the overall volume of the lo-fi sound.
Direct Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
Modify Filter
This parameter selects the filter type.
Cutoff Freq 0–100
This parameter adjusts the cutoff frequency.
Resonance 0–100
This parameter adjusts the resonance.
Gain 0– +24 dB
Adjusts the volume level of the sound that has passed through the
modify filter.
Mic Converter
This effect can convert the characteristics of an inexpensive
general-purpose microphone into those of an expensive
studio microphone (i.e., Microphone Conversion).
Furthermore, when used with a part that has already been
recorded, it can reproduce the same tonal changes as would
occur if the microphone type or distance had been changed.
In doing so, it adds the sense of an acoustic space to an
instrumental that was recorded by direct line input, making
it seem as if it had been recorded with a microphone (i.e.,
Line → Microphone Conversion).
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This setting turns the Mic converter on or off.
Input
Selects the type of microphone that was actually used to record the part.
Output
Specifies the microphone to be simulated.
* The low-range response will be extended when a condenser-type microphone
model is selected for “Output”, and this may boost any low-range noise that
is transmitted through the microphone stand. In such a case, either use a
bass cut filter to remove the unwanted low-range noise or use an isolation
mount* with your microphone stand while recording. (*:A microphone
holder that uses a material such as rubber to absorb vibrations.)
Phase
Specifies the phase of the mic.
NORMAL Output has the same phase as the input
INVERSE Output has the opposite phase to the input
Noise Suppressor
This effect is used to reduce noise and hum. Since it does this in
accordance with the sound’s envelope (i.e., the way in which the
volume rises and falls over time), it has very little effect on the
sound itself and does not affect its natural character.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the noise suppressor effect on or off.
Threshold 0–100
Adjust this parameter to match the volume of the noise. If the noise
is relatively loud, a higher setting will be appropriate. If the level of
the noise is low, select a lower setting. Adjust this value until the
way in which the sound decays is as natural as possible.
* High settings for “Threshold” may result in no sound being output
when the instrument is played with the volume turned down.
Release 0–100
Adjusts the time from activation of the noise suppressor until the
volume is reduced to zero.
Octave
This effect duplicates parts at one octave lower down to
create a richer sound.
Effect On/Off OFF, ON
This parameter turns the octave effect on or off.
Octave Level 0–100
This adjusts the volume of the sound one octave below.
Direct Level 0–100
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
OFF No modify filter will be used.
LPF A low-pass filter will be used.
BPF A band-pass filter will be used.
HPF A high-pass filter will be used.
DR-20 Roland DR-20
Sml.Dy Small dynamic microphone
Hed.Dy Head-worn dynamic microphone
Min.Cn Miniature condenser microphone
Flat Line input
AKGC3K AKG C3000B
Sml.Dy
A general-purpose dynamic microphone
for use with instruments or vocals. This is
ideal for guitar amps or snare drums.
Voc.Dy
A popular dynamic microphone used for vo-
cals and featuring an extended midrange.
Lrg.Dy
A dynamic microphone with an extended low
end. This is effective when used with bass
drums, toms, and other similar sounds.
Sml.Cn
A small condenser microphone used with various
instruments and featuring a sparkling high end.
This is particularly effective when used with met-
al percussion instruments and acoustic guitars.
Lrg.Cn
A flat-response condenser microphone that
is effective when used with vocals, narrated
parts, acoustic instruments, and the like.
Vnt.Cn
VA vintage condenser microphone that is
effective when used with vocals, acoustic
instruments, and the like.
Flat
A microphone with a flat frequency response.
This can be selected to eliminate the charac-
teristics of the microphone used for recording.
