EFFECT FUNCTIONS (TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS) EFFECT FUNCTIONS This unit can produce beat effects linked to the BPM, and sound-color effects linked to the COLOR dials provided for each channel, for a total of 18 basic effects (including [SND/RTN]). In addition, by changing the parameters for each kind of effect, an extremely wide range of effect variations can be produced. A wide variety of beat effects can be achieved by varying the temporal parameter via the TIME dial (Parameter 1), as well as quantitative parameter via the LEVEL/DEPTH dial (Parameter 2). Sound-color effect changes can be added by varying the position of the COLOR dials. By combining beat effects and sound-color effects, an even greater range of performance effects can be produced. TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS 1. DELAY (One repeat sound) This function allows a delay sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 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. Example Original (4 beats) 1/2 delay (8 beats) 2. ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds) This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 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 1 beat 1 beat Cuts input sound 3. REVERSE DELAY (One repeat sound) This function allows an inverted delay sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply. Example Original 1 beat 1/1 reverse delay 1 beat 4. Auto PAN (L-R BALANCE) This function distributes sounds in units of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to right and left channels in synch with the rhythm (auto beat pan). Also, short auto pan can be performed, allowing sounds to be distributed to right/left very quickly, an effect impossible to perform manually. Example Auto beat pan Center (Stereo) 1 cycle = 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat Short auto pan Center (Stereo) 5. Auto TRANS In units of 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat, the sound is automatically cut in synch with the rhythm. Example Cut Cut Time 1 cycle = 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 beat 15
