258 Effects Overdrive, Amp models, and Mic models (OD Amp Mic) b, f: Saturation [%] With higher settings of this value, the waveform will change at high gain levels, tending to cause distortion. Lower settings of this value will produce linear response. 24: St. Tube PreAmp (Stereo Tube PreAmp Modeling) This is a stereo vacuum tube preamp simulator (See “Tube PreAmp Model (Tube PreAmp Modeling)” on page 257.).
Effects Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser (Cho/Fln Phaser) Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser (Cho/Fln Phaser) 259 27: Black Chorus/Flanger This models a Danish-made stereo chorus + pitch modulator & flanger. Although this effect was originally intended for guitar, it was also used by numerous keyboard players. Used with electric piano, it produces a distinctive tone.
260 Effects Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser (Cho/Fln Phaser) 28: St.HarmonicChorus (Stereo Harmonic Chorus) 29: St. Biphase Mod. (Stereo Biphase Modulation) This effect applies chorus only to higher frequencies. This can be used to apply a chorus effect to a bass sound without making the sound thinner. You can also use this chorus block with feedback as a flanger. This stereo chorus effect adds two different LFOs together. You can set the Frequency and Depth parameters for each LFO individually.
Effects Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser (Cho/Fln Phaser) 30: Multitap Cho/Delay (Multitap Chorus/Delay) 261 31: Ensemble This effect has four chorus blocks with a different LFO phase. You can create a complex stereo image by setting each block’s delay time, depth, output level, and pan individually. You can also fix some of the chorus blocks to combine the chorus and delay effects.
262 Effects Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser (Cho/Fln Phaser) 32: Polysix Ensemble 33: Stereo Flanger This models the ensemble effect built into the classic Korg PolySix programmable polyphonic synthesizer. This effect gives a significant swell and movement of pitch to the sound. It is more effective when applied to a sound with a lot of harmonics. This is a stereo flanger. You can add spread to the sound by offsetting the phase of the left and right LFOs from each other.
Effects Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser (Cho/Fln Phaser) 263 34: St. Random Flanger (Stereo Random Flanger) 35: St. Env. Flanger (Stereo Envelope Flanger) The stereo effect uses a step-shape waveform and random LFO for modulation, creating a unique flanging effect. This Flanger uses an envelope generator for modulation. You will obtain the same pattern of flanging each time you play. You can also control the Flanger directly using the modulation source.
264 Effects Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser (Cho/Fln Phaser) 36: Stereo Phaser This effect creates a swell by shifting the phase. It is very effective on electric piano sounds. You can add spread to the sound by offsetting the phase of the left and right LFOs from each other. 37: St. Random Phaser (Stereo Random Phaser) This is a stereo phaser. The effect uses a step-shape waveform and random LFO for modulation, creating a unique phasing effect.
Effects Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 265 38: St. Env. Phaser (Stereo Envelope Phaser) Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) This stereo phaser uses an envelope generator for modulation. You will obtain the same pattern of phasing each time you play. You can also control the Phaser directly using the modulation source. 39: Stereo Vibrato Stereo In - Stereo Out Left FX Amt This effect causes the pitch of the input signal to shimmer.
266 Effects Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 40: St. Auto Fade Mod. (Stereo Auto Fade Modulatiom) a: AUTOFADE Src b: Fade-In Delay [msec] b: Fade-In Rate d: LFO Frequency Mod When “LFO Frequency Mod” is set to AUTOFADE, you can use the modulation source selected in “AUTOFADE Src” as a trigger to automatically fade in the modulation amount. When “MIDI Sync” is set to On, you cannot use this.
Effects Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 41: 2Voice Resonator This effect resonates the input signal at a specified pitch. You can set the pitch, output level, and pan settings for two resonators individually. You can control the resonance intensity via an LFO.
Effects 268 Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 42: Doppler This effect simulates the “Doppler effect” of a moving sound with a changing pitch, similar to the siren of an passing ambulance. Mixing the effect sound with the dry sound will create a unique chorus effect.
Effects Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 269 44: Grain Shifter a: Scratch Source b: Response The Scratch Source parameter enables you to select the modulation source that controls simulation. The value of the modulation source corresponds to the playback position. The Response parameter enables you to set the speed of the response to the modulation source.
Effects 270 Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 45: Stereo Tremolo This effect modulates the volume level of the input signal. The effect is stereo, and offsetting the LFO of the left and right phases from each other produces a tremolo effect between left and right. 46: St. Env. Tremolo (Stereo Envelope Tremolo) This effect uses the input signal level to modulate a stereo tremolo (LFO volume modulation).
Effects 271 Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 47: Stereo Auto Pan Stereo Auto Pan - LFO Phase LFO Phase = 0 degrees This is a stereo-in, stereo-out auto-panner. The Phase and Shape parameters lets you create various panning effects, such as making the left and right inputs seem to chase each other around the stereo field.

How the effect sound moves or rotates depends on the type of LFO.
Effects Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 273 50: Detune 51: Pitch Shifter Using this effect, you can obtain a detune effect that offsets the pitch of the effect sound slightly from the pitch of the input signal. Compared to the chorus effect, a more natural sound thickness will be created. This effect changes the pitch of the input signal. You can select from three types: Fast (quick response), Medium, and Slow (preserves tonal quality).
Effects 274 Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) value for the Feedback parameter, the pitch will be raised (or lowered) more and more each time feedback is repeated. If Feedback Position is set to Post, the feedback signal will not pass through the pitch shifter again. Even if you specify a higher value for the Feedback parameter, the pitch-shifted sound will be repeated at the same pitch. 52: Pitch Shifter BPM 53: Pitch Shift Mod.
Effects Modulation and Pitch Shift (Mod./P.Shift) 54: Organ Vib/Chorus (Organ Vibrato/Chorus) 275 55: Rotary Speaker This effect simulates the chorus and vibrato circuitry of a vintage organ. The modulation speed and depth can be customized. This effect simulates a rotary speaker, and obtains a more realistic sound by simulating the rotor in the low range and the horn in the high range separately. The effect also simulates the stereo microphone settings.
276 Effects Delay b: Speed Switch This parameter controls how the rotation speed (slow and fast) is switched via the modulation source. When Mode = Toggle, the speed will switch between slow and fast each time you press the pedal or move the joystick. Via MIDI, the speed will switch each time the modulation amount exceeds 64. When Mode = Moment, the speed is usually slow. It becomes fast only when you press the pedal or move the joystick.
Effects Delay 57: Stereo/CrossDelay This is a stereo delay, and can by used as a cross-feedback delay effect in which the delay sounds cross over between the left and right by changing the feedback routing. 277 58: St. Multitap Delay (Stereo Multitap Delay) The left and right Multitap Delays have two taps respectively. Changing the routing of feedback and tap output allows you to create various patterns of complex effect sounds.
Effects 278 Delay 59: St. Mod Delay (Stereo Modulation Delay) This stereo delay uses an LFO to sweep the delay time. The pitch also varies, creating a delay sound which swells and shimmers. You can also control the delay time using a modulation source.
