Internal Design of the DTX700  Effect Parameters Each of the above-mentioned effects includes a range of parameters allowing you to adjust the way in which it processes the input signal. Using these parameters, the behavior of each effect can be optimized in line with, for example, the type of sound being processed or the type of music being played. While the function of each of these parameters is described in the following table, it is good practice to also listen to how they actually change the sound of the respective effect in order to achieve the best settings.  Parameters with identical names NOTE • Certain effects contain parameters with identical names yet performing different functions. In the following table, the function of each such parameter is described separately and the corresponding effects are identified. Parameter name Descriptions AMDepth This parameter is used to set the depth of amplitude modulation. AmpType This parameter is used to set the type of amplifier to be simulated. Attack This parameter is used to set the amount of time that elapses before compression is fully applied. Bottom*1 This parameter is used to set the lowest point in the filter's sweep range. Color*2 This parameter is used to set the fixed phase modulation. This parameter is used to set the amount of time CommonRel that elapses before the compressor stops process- ing the input signal (common for all three bands). Compres This parameter is used to set the input-signal level at which the compressor starts to process the sound (i.e., the threshold). Cutoff This parameter is used to set the offset value for the filter's control frequency. Delay This parameter is used to set the delay time in terms of note lengths. DelayC This parameter is used to set the delay time for the center channel. DelayL This parameter is used to set the delay time for the left channel. DelayL>R This parameter is used to set the time that elapses between input of sound via the left channel and output via the right channel. DelayR This parameter is used to set the delay time for the right channel. DelayR>L This parameter is used to set the time that elapses between input of sound via the right channel and output via the left channel. *1: The Bottom parameter's setting is valid only when less than that of the Top parameter. *2: The Color parameter's setting has no effect with certain combinations of Mode and Stage settings.

[Early Ref] This parameter is used to set the density of early reflections. This parameter is used to set the amplitude of the LFO wave that controls cyclic changes in phase modulation. This parameter is used to set the degree to which pitches are detuned. This parameter is used to select one of a number of devices that distort the sound in different ways. [TempoPhaser and EarlyRef] This parameter is used to adjust the spaciousness of the sound produced. [Reverb effects other than EarlyRef] This parameter is used to set how wide the reverb sounds. This parameter is used to set the direction of envelope-follower modulation. This parameter is used to set the mid-high frequency when splitting the sound into three bands. This parameter is used to set the low-mid frequency when splitting the sound into three bands. This parameter is used to set the delay volume for the center channel. This parameter is used to set the mixing level for the delayed sound. This parameter is used to set the modulation delay time's offset value. This parameter is used to set the degree to which the effect is applied. This parameter is used to set the depth of modulation produced through rotation of the high-frequency horn. This parameter is used to set the depth of modulation produced through rotation of the low-frequency rotor. This parameter is used to set the degree by which the low frequencies from the distorted sound are boosted or cut. This parameter is used to set the degree by which the mid frequencies from the distorted sound are boosted or cut. This parameter is used to specify a curve that determines how the sound is distorted. This parameter is used to set the cutoff frequency for the EQ1 band (i.e., low shelving). This parameter is used to set the gain for the EQ1 band (i.e., low shelving). This parameter is used to set the center frequency for the EQ2 band. This parameter is used to set the gain for the EQ2 band. This parameter is used to set the resonance of the EQ2 band. This parameter is used to set the center frequency for the EQ3 band. This parameter is used to set the gain for the EQ3 band. DTX700 Reference Manual 10
