Modeling/Poly FX/Alternate Tuning Settings
8
Parameter Explanation
Hold Mode
Species the Hold eect controlled by the [CTL 1] [CTL 2] pedals.
* In order to use the Hold eect, make settings for “Patch: CTL” (p. 11) or
“Sys: CTL” (p. 13).
MODE 1
Notes that are newly played while Hold is on will also be
held.
MODE 2 Newly played notes are not accepted while Hold is on.
MODE 3
While Hold is on, notes newly played on a string that’s being
held are accepted.
LowVeloCut
Adjust this if simply touching a string causes a note to be unintentionally
triggered. Raising this value will make it more dicult to trigger notes.
Wave synth (WAVE: )
Parameter Explanation
Type
Selects the wave type on which the synth sound is based.
SAW Creates a synth sound with a sawtooth waveform.
SQUARE Creates a synth sound with a square waveform.
Volume Sets the volume. With a setting of 0, there will be no sound.
Cuto
Adjusts the cuto frequency at which the lter cuts o the sound’s
harmonic components
Resonance Adjusts the resonance (distinctiveness of the sound).
Octave If this is on, the pitch is one octave lower.
Poly FX (PolyFx: )
Parameter Explanation
Type
DISTORTION
Distortion that allows chords to resonate clearly and
beautifully
CRYSTAL
A sound with a metallic resonance and a transparent
character
RICH MODULATION Rich and spacious modulation sound
SLOW PAD Deep, fantasy-like pad-type sound
TOUCH WAH
You can produce a wah eect with the lter changing in
response to the guitar level.
DISTORTION/CRYSTAL/RICH MODULATION/SLOW PAD
(PFxDist: /PFxCrystal: /PFxRichMod: /PFxSlowPad: )
Parameter Explanation
GtrVol Adjusts the volume of the guitar input.
Gain *1 Adjusts the amount of distortion.
GainBal *1
Adjusts the distortion balance between the low and high strings.
Higher settings make the lower strings distort more.
Lower settings make the higher strings distort more.
Color
DISTORTION
Adjusts the amount of separation for chords. Higher settings produce
chords less muddy.
CRYSTAL
Adjusts the tonal character of the high-frequency range. Higher settings
make the tonal character more metallic.
RICH
MODULATION
Adjusts the depth of the eect. Higher settings make the modulation eect
stronger.
SLOW PAD Adjusts the strength of the attack. Higher settings strengthen the attack.
Tone Adjusts the brightness of the sound. Higher settings brighten the sound.
Level Volume
*1 DISTORTION only
TOUCH WAH (PFxTWah: )
Parameter Explanation
Mode
Selects the wah mode.
LPF
Low pass lter. This creates a wah eect over a wide frequency
range.
BPF
Band pass lter. This creates a wah eect in a narrow frequency
range.
Polar
Selects the direction in which the lter will change in response to the
input.
DOWN The frequency of the lter will fall.
UP The frequency of the lter will rise.
Sens
Adjusts the sensitivity at which the lter will change in the direction
determined by the polarity setting. Higher values will result in a stronger
response. With a setting of 0, the strength of picking will have no eect.
Freq Adjusts the center frequency of the Wah eect.
Decay This sets the time needed for the lter to nish its sweep.
Peak
Adjusts the way in which the wah eect applies to the area around the
center frequency.
Higher values will produce a stronger tone which emphasizes the wah
eect more. With a value of 50 a standard wah sound will be produced.
ToneType Selects the tone type.
Comp Sw Turns the compressor on/o.
Comp Sus Larger values will result in longer sustain.
Comp Atk Adjusts the strength of the picking attack when the strings are played.
Volume Volume
Alternate Tuning Settings (AltTune: )
Press the [MODELING/ALT TUNE] button to edit.
* If the Modeling Type is “SYNTH” or “POLY FX,” the Alternate Tuning/12-String
Guitar/String Bend function cannot be used.
Parameter Explanation
On/O Turns the Alternate Tuning function on/o.
Type
OPEN D, E,
G, A
Tuning that produces a major chord when you play the open
strings.
DROP D–A
DROP-D is a tuning in which only the 6th string is dropped
to D. The other tunings are the variations that are transposed
downward parallel to Drop D.
D-MODAL
Tuning that drops the 6th, 2nd, and 1st string by a whole step
to create an ethnic feel.
NASHVL
Tuning that raises the 6th, 5th, 4th, and 3rd strings by one
octave; like a 12-string guitar’s supplementary strings by
themselves.
-12–+12
STEP
Raises/lowers the tuning of all strings in semitone steps.
USER User tuning in which each string can be specied individually.
Shift 1–6 *1 Species the amount of shift in semitones for each string.
Fine 1–6 *1
Finely adjusts the pitch of each string. -50 is half a semitone down; +50 is
half a semitone up.
*1 USER only
12-String Guitar Settings (12Str: )
Press the [MODELING/ALT TUNE] button to edit.
Parameter Explanation
On/O
Turn this on if you want the sound of a 12-string guitar. It transforms the
sound of a 6-string guitar into the sound of a 12-string guitar equipped
with an additional course of strings.
Type
NORMAL The conventional tuning of a 12-string guitar.
USER
A user tuning that species the pitch of each supplementary
string.
PitchShft 1–6 *1 Species the amount of shift in semitones for each string.
PitchFine 1–6 *1
Finely adjusts the pitch of each string. -50 is half a semitone down; +50 is
half a semitone up.
Level 1–6 *1 Adjusts the volume level for each secondary string.
Delay 1–6 *1
Adjusts the time the sound of each secondary string is delayed relative to
the respective main string.
*1 USER only
String Bend Function Settings (StrBend: )
Press the [MODELING/ALT TUNE] button to edit.
Parameter Explanation
On/O Turns the String Bend function on/o.
Depth 1–6
This sets the amount of pitch shift in each string when the bend is set to
100.
The amount of shift from the current pitch is set in semitone increments.
Control
When set to 0, bending causes no shift in the pitch; when set to 100, the
strings’ pitches are shifted by the amount set in Depth 1–6. Normally, this
pitch bend is set to 0, and the setting 0–100 assigned with Control Assign
is used.
* This setting cannot be saved to patches. This is reset to 0 when patches
are switched.
Other Modeling Settings (Mdl: )
Parameter Explanation
NS On/O *1
Turns the noise suppressor on/o.
This eect suppresses noise or hum that is picked up by the guitar’s pickup.
NS Threshold *1
Adjust this according to the level of the noise. Set this to a higher value if
the noise level is high, or to a lower value if the noise level is low. Adjust
this so that the decay of your guitar still sounds natural.
* Setting this higher than necessary may cause no sound to be produced
when the guitar is played at low volume.
NS Release *1
Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until
the noise level reaches “0.”
String Lv 1–6 Species the output level of each string.
String Pan 1–6 Species the left/right pan of each string.
*1 For some modeling types, the noise suppressor parameters are not shown.
