USING THE EFFECT FUNCTION With the built-in DSP (digital signal processor), sound effects can be enjoyed and BPM measured.
PAGE 13
USING THE EFFECT FUNCTION 2. Echo (repeated sounds) Mixes echo sounds of 1/2, 3/4, and 1/1 beats quickly and simply. For example, when input sounds are cut with the 1/1 beat echo sound, the song fades out while repeating sounds corresponding to the beat. When the microphone sound is imposed by 1/1 beat echo, it is repeatedly played back. Troll effects can be produced by imposing 1/1 beat echo on the vocals of the song. (Example) Beat 1 beat Cuts the input sound Fade out 1 beat 3.
PAGE 14
USING THE EFFECT FUNCTION Measuring BPM Songs with different tempos can be mixed easily because the BPM of the channel selected using the monitor selector (auto BPM counter selector) and channel selected using the effect channel selector is measured and displayed. 1 2 3 4 AUTO BPM COUNTER (Example) Displays the BPM of the song input to the monitor selector CH2 and effect channel selector CH4. 1 Set the effect selector to AUTO BPM. BPM REAL AVERAGE 2 Set the effect channel selector to CH4.
PAGE 15
USING THE EFFECT FUNCTION Operating Delay, Echo, Auto pan, Flanger 1 (Example) Impose the delay effects on the CH2 song. 1 Set the effect selector to DELAY. 2 3 4 AUTO BPM COUNTER 2 Set the effect channel selector to CH2. • The parameter LED 2 lights up. • The time of 1 beat (mSec.) of the BPM of the song input to CH2 is displayed on the auto BPM counter window (upper window). • Select the BPM display (real-time/average) with the switch button.
PAGE 16
USING THE EFFECT FUNCTION Operating Pitch Shifter and Reverb 1 (Example) Pitch-shift the CH3 song by 90%. 2 3 4 AUTO BPM COUNTER 1 Set the effect selector to PITCH SHIFTER. 2 Set the effect channel selector to CH3. • The parameter LED 3 lights up. * All the auto BPM counter displays go off. REAL AVERAGE 3 Set the parameter value (pitch %) using the parameter knob. MASTER • To check the effect sound, press the effect of the monitor selector.
