BASS SYNTHESIZER BSY600

Ultimate Bass Synthesizer Effects Pedal

Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER BASS SYNTHESIZER BSY600.

This high-quality effects pedal reproduces the fat and powerful sound of classic analog synthesizers—

at the touch of a footswitch.

1.

Controls

(1)

The

DIRECT

control adjusts the level of the

direct, unaffected signal.

(2)

The

EFFECT

control adjusts the level of the

synthesizer effect signal.

(3)

The

RES

(onance) control adjusts the

strength of the low-pass filter frequency

peak (see below).

(4)

The

FREQ

(uency) control adjusts the

low-pass/allpass filter frequency which

cuts the high-frequencies and therefore

determines the upper and lower limit of the

frequency range the filter moves along.

(5)

The

DECAY/RATE

control has 2 different

functions. Depending on the MODE switch

position (see below) it adjusts either the

LFO speed that modulates the amplitude

of the filter frequency (RATE: mode 3 and

6 only) or sets the time over which the filter

frequency moves (DECAY). When the decay time is set to MAX, the cut-off filter frequency is fixed.

(6)

Use the

MODE

switch to dial up one of 11 synthesizer modes with 4 different waveforms.

1.

SAW

(sawtooth wave that produces sharp-edged sound)

2.

SAW (sawtooth wave one octave lower than mode 1)

3.

SAW (sawtooth wave with automatic filter frequency shifting)

4.

SQUARE

(square wave that produces milder sound than the sawtooth modes)

5.

SQUARE (similar to mode 4 with additional square wave one octave below)

6.

SQUARE (square wave with automatic filter frequency shifting)

7.

PULSE

(pulse wave that produces sharp-edged sound different from sawtooth modes)

8.

PULSE (pulse wave with all-pass filter for more depth and motion)

9.

PULSE (pulse wave with pulse width modulation for fat, spre ading sound)

10.

WAVE

(input signal is directly transformed to a synthesizer sound. Filter rises when string is

played and returns gradually)

11. WAVE (similar to mode 10, but filter

drops

when string is played and returns gradually)

(7)

The

ON/BATT

LED illuminates when the effect is activated and flashes when the PITCH HOLD

function is active (see below). It also serves as a battery level indicator.

(8)

Use the footswitch to activate/deactivate the effect. Keeping the footswitch depressed will

activate the

PITCH HOLD

function (modes 1 - 9 only) that causes the unit to output the effect

signal continuously, even if the bass is not played at this moment (ON/BATT LED flashes). You can

also play the bass while keeping the footswitch pressed and mix the continuously output effect

signal with the direct bass signal. Release the footswitch to deactivate this function.

(9)

Use this °" TS

IN

connector to plug in the instrument cable.

(10)

The two °" TS

OUT

and

DIR OUT

connectors send the signal to your amp. Use both connectors if

you want to separate the unprocessed input signal (> DIR OUT) and the synthesized signal (> OUT).

To mix both signals together use OUT only.
