66 Section 3. Using effects The algorithms (the available effects and their connection order) that can be used as the insert effects are shown below. The algorithms that can be selected will differ for each bank.
67 Section 3. Using effects Section 3 A sound with a subtly shifted pitch is added to the direct sound, making the final output sound thicker and broader. * This effect can be used when the FX “Type” parameter is set to “CHORUS.” On/Off OFF, ON This parameter turns the chorus effect on/off.
68 Section 3. Using effects 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. Sens 0 – 100 Adjusts the manner in which the enhancer will be applied relative to the input signals.
69 Section 3. Using effects Section 3 This divides the original sound into three frequency ranges: low, mid, and high. Gain -24 – +12 (dB) Sets the overall volume level before the signal passes through the compressor. Delay Time 0–10 (ms) This sets the amount of time by which the source input sound is delayed.
70 Section 3. Using effects On/Off OFF, ON This parameter turns the phaser effect on/off. Rate 0 – 100 This sets the rate of the Phaser effect. Depth 0 – 100 Determines the depth of the Phaser effect. Manual 0 – 100 Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser effect.

77 Section 3. Using effects Section 3 Here’s how you can assign a name (patch name) to the kit settings you’ve edited, and save them as a new patch. * You can’t save a patch while a song is playing or being recorded. * If you don’t need to edit the patch name, proceed to step 4.
78 Section 3. Using effects The Mastering Tool Kit’s algorithms are composed from the following effects. Input Compressor Mixer Limiter Output This compresses the overall output signal when the input volume level exceeds a set value. On/Off OFF, ON This parameter turns the compressor effect on/ off.
79 Section 3. Using effects Section 3 Hi Ratio 1:1.00 – 1:16.0, 1:INF This sets the ratio of suppression of the upper- range output when the input level exceeds the Hi threshold level. Hi Attack 0 – 100 ms This sets the time it takes for the upper-range compressor to go into effect once the input level exceeds the Hi threshold level.
