Adjusting the Character of the Sound
(TONE COLOR)
Turning the [TONE COLOR] knob will modify an aspect of the sound,
such as its character or acoustic image.
1
1. Turn the [TONE COLOR] knob.
The eect assigned to the knob is applied.
You can assign one or the other of the following eects to the
[TONE COLOR] knob.
Parameter Explanation
Stereo Width
If the sound is being output in stereo, turning the knob to
the left gradually transforms the audio output to mono,
and turning the knob to the right transforms it to stereo.
Depending on your performing situation, the mono sound
might be better for listening.
EQ
This lets you adjust the EQ using a single knob. Turning
the knob to the left boosts the mid-frequency region, and
turning the knob to the right boosts the high-frequency
and low-frequency regions. Adjusting this appropriately for
your performing situation might make the sound better for
listening.
MEMO
The Tone Color assignment is specied in [MENU] 0 [SCENE EDIT]
0 [ZONE SOUND] 0 TONE COLOR. If you want to save the setting,
save the Scene (p. 23).
Applying Various Eects to the Sound
(MFX)
In addition to chorus (p. 15) and reverb (p. 14), the RD-88 lets
you apply a “multi-eect.” The multi-eect lets you choose from a
variety of eect types including distortion and rotary.
With the factory settings, an eect appropriate for each tone is
assigned.
1
1. Turn the [MFX] knob to adjust the eect.
The multi-eect specied for the selected tone is applied.
MEMO
The eect is applied to the MFX of the currently selected zone.
The value that changes when you turn the knob is pre-specied
according to the type. For some eect types, it might be dicult to
notice the eect.
If the tone’s MFX setting is set to “Thru,” no eect is applied.
MFX settings can also be specied for individual Scenes. For details,
refer to “Parameter Guide” (PDF).
