92 Re v0.10 Using the Insert Effects The BR-600 comes with five effects processors: an insert effects, loop effects, Track EQ, Pitch Correction, and Mastering Tool Kit. An insert effects, loop effects, and Track EQ can be used simultaneously, and you can make settings for each effect as desired.
93 Using the Insert Effects Re v0.10 Section 3 If you wish to create a new effect sound, you should first select an existing patch that is closest to the sound you want, and then edit its settings. If you wish to save the effect settings that you edited, save them as a user patch or song patch.
94 Using the Insert Effects Re v0.10 Follow the procedure below to enter a name (patch name) for an effect that you’ve modified, and save it as a new effect patch. * If you do not need to change the patch name, go to Step 4 after entering the Effect screen.
95 Using the Insert Effects Re v0.10 Section 3 By default, the insert effect is inserted immediately after the input source. The reason for this is to allow for the effects- processed (wet) sound to be recorded and monitored. However, sometimes you want to change the connection order.
96 Re v0.10 Insert Effect Parameter Functions The algorithms (the available effects and their connection order) that can be used as an insert effect are shown below.
97 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 Section 3 Simulates the sound of a bass guitar. Obtain the sound of a bass guitar while playing an electric guitar.
98 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 This is a multi-effect designed for bass guitar. This features an amp sound that uses a preamp and speaker simulator.
99 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 Section 3 This is a multi-effect designed for vocals. The COSM compressor/limiter is perfect for creating a basic sound. fig.03-270 COSM Comp/Limiter De-esser Enhancer 4Band Equalizer Noise Suppressor Foot Volume Delay This algorithm connects seven types of effect, all in full stereo.
100 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 This algorithm is for use when simultaneously recording a vocal and electric guitar. For the guitar, you can produce an amp sound using a preamp and speaker simulator.
101 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 Section 3 This simulates the sound of an acoustic guitar. It allows you to use an electric guitar to produce sounds similar to those of an acoustic guitar. * If you set the pickup selector of your guitar to the front position, the desired effect will be easier to achieve.
102 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 A sound with a subtly shifted pitch is added to the direct sound, making the final output sound thicker and broader. Best results will be achieved when stereo recording. * This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “CHORUS.
103 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 Section 3 Attack Time (with VtgRack) 0 – 100 This adjusts the amount of time it takes for the compression ratio set in Ratio to be reached once compression begins, as the input level exceeds the set threshold level.
104 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 By adding sounds which are out-of-phase with the direct sound, this effect enhances the definition of the sound, and pushes it to the forefront. On/Off OFF, ON This parameter turns the enhancer effect on/off.
105 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 Section 3 Produces a lo-fi sound. On/Off OFF, ON This parameter turns the lo-fi box effect on/off. Type Select the mode of the lo-fi box.
106 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 This effect reduces the noise and hum. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the sound (the way in which the sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.
107 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 Section 3 Adjust the distortion and tone of the guitar sound. * When all Bass, Middle and Treble are set to “0,” no sound may be produced depending on the “Type” setting. On/Off OFF, ON Turns the preamp effect on/off.
108 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 This creates a bell-like sound by ring-modulating the guitar sound with the signal from the internal oscillator. The sound will be unmusical and lack distinctive pitches. On/Off OFF, ON This parameter turns the ring modulator effect on/off.
109 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 Section 3 Tremolo is an effect that creates a cyclic change in volume. Pan cyclically moves the stereo position between left and right (when stereo output is used). * This effect can be used when the MODULATION “Type” parameter is set to “TRM/PAN.
110 Insert Effect Parameter Functions Re v0.10 The wah effect creates a unique tone by changing the frequency response characteristics of a filter. Touch wah creates an automatic wah by changing the filter in response to the volume of the input. Pedal wah lets you use an Expression pedal or the like to obtain real-time control of the wah effect.
Re v0.10 111 Section 3 Mastering Use the “Mastering Tool Kit” to produce a two-track master of the bounce tracks with the levels optimized. * Mastering can be performed only on Tracks 7 and 8. Record any song you want to master to Tracks 7 and 8 before you begin the mastering process.
112 Mastering Re v0.10 5 Select the Mastering Tool Kit. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the Preset/Song/ User patch and number for the Mastering Tool Kit. “Mastering Tool Kit Patch List” (p. 207) 6 Press [EXIT] to return to the Play screen. The overall volume is adjusted by the MASTER fader.
