VIBRATO: Vibrato is produced by causing the pitch of a note to "waver" slightly back and forth, creating a subtle pulsing effect. This effect is often created by players of string instruments and horns. The DM8's vibrato effects have the same editable parameters. Mono Vibrato: Traditional vibrato effect. Vibrato: Vibrato with a simulated stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound. Rate: The speed of the vibrato (how quickly the pitch wavers). Depth: How much the pitch wavers from the center/original pitch. Level: The volume level of the vibrato. DELAYS: A delay effect is a kind of echo, which varies depending on the size of the room it emulates and the rate, volume, and decay of the echo. The DM8's delay effects have some common parameters with some notable differences. Mono Doubler: A very quick delay that creates a "double-hit" effect. Doubler: A very quick delay that creates a "double-hit" effect in a stereo field. Delay: The speed of the delay/echo. Level: The volume level of the delayed signal. Mono Slapback: A quick - almost immediate - delay. Slapback: Quick delay with a simulated stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound. Delay: The speed of the delay/echo. Level: The volume level of the delayed signal. Mono Delay: A traditional delay effect. Delay: The speed of the delay/echo. Feedback: How much of the echo will be routed back into the processor again, which creates a longer-lasting, intensified echo effect. Damp (dampening): The amount of low- and high-frequency dampening of the echo. At negative values, the sound of the echo gets progressively duller, which is the most "natural" echo effect. This is also useful for simulating tape echo. At positive values, the sound of the echo gets progressively thinner. Level: The volume level of the delayed signal. Delay: A traditional delay with two independent delay lines. LDly / RDly (left/right delay): The speed of the delay/echo. This can be set independently for the left and right channels to create an even wider, more varied sound. LFBk / RFBk (left/right feedback): How much of the echo will be routed back into the processor again, which creates a longer-lasting, intensified echo effect. This can be set independently for the left and right channels to create an even wider, more varied sound. 16

VIBRATO:
Vibrato is produced by causing the
pitch of a note to "waver" slightly back and forth,
creating a subtle pulsing effect.
This effect is
often created by players of string instruments and
horns.
The DM8's vibrato effects have the same
editable parameters.
Mono Vibrato:
Traditional vibrato effect.
Vibrato:
Vibrato with a simulated stereo
effect, creating a "wider" sound.
Rate:
The speed of the vibrato (how quickly the pitch wavers).
Depth:
How much the pitch wavers from the center/original pitch.
Level:
The volume level of the vibrato.
DELAYS:
A delay effect is a kind of echo, which varies depending on the size of the room it
emulates and the rate, volume, and decay of the echo.
The DM8's delay effects have some
common
parameters
with
some
notable
differences.
Mono Doubler:
A very quick delay that
creates a "double-hit" effect.
Doubler:
A very quick delay that creates a
"double-hit" effect in a stereo field.
Delay:
The speed of the delay/echo.
Level:
The
volume
level
of
the
delayed signal.
Mono
Slapback:
A
quick
–
almost
immediate – delay.
Slapback:
Quick delay with a simulated
stereo effect, creating a "wider" sound.
Delay:
The speed of the delay/echo.
Level:
The
volume
level
of
the
delayed signal.
Mono Delay:
A traditional delay effect.
Delay:
The speed of the delay/echo.
Feedback:
How much of the echo will
be routed back into the processor
again, which creates a longer-lasting,
intensified echo effect.
Damp (dampening):
The amount of
low- and high-frequency dampening of the echo.
At negative values, the sound
of the echo gets progressively duller, which is the most "natural" echo effect.
This is also useful for simulating tape echo.
At positive values, the sound of the
echo gets progressively thinner.
Level:
The volume level of the delayed signal.
Delay:
A
traditional
delay
with
two
independent delay lines.
LDly / RDly (left/right delay):
The speed
of the delay/echo.
This can be set
independently for the left and right
channels to create an even wider, more
varied sound.
LFBk / RFBk (left/right feedback):
How much of the echo will be routed back into
the processor again, which creates a longer-lasting, intensified echo effect.
This can be set independently for the left and right channels to create an even
wider, more varied sound.
