Microphone
To save “Mic Mixing” and “Talk Mixing” settings, register them to Registration Memory. Other settings can be
saved by the [8] (Type) button (step 4 on page 69).
In addition to Reverb and Chorus, a wide variety of Effect Types are provided. You can select the desired
effect type in the display called up by pressing the [7] (DSP) button in the “Mic” display.
The parameters and operations on this display are the same as those in the “Mixer” display called up via the
[MIXER/EQ] button. For details, refer to page 80. If you want to apply the effect only to the microphone
sound, make sure to select “Mic” as a part for “DSP5.”
To save the DSP setting here, register them to Registration Memory.

Noise Gate This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a
specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal
(vocal, etc.) to pass. Pressing one of the [3]/[4] (Noise Gate) buttons can turn the
effect on or off.
TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which the gate begins to open.
5
Compressor This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone
exceeds a specified level. This is especially useful for smoothing out vocals that have
widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts
louder and loud parts softer. Pressing one of the [5]/[6] (Compressor) buttons can
turn the effect on or off.
TH. (Threshold) Adjusts the input level above which compression begins to be
applied.
Ratio Adjusts the compression ratio. Higher ratios result in a more
compressed sound, with a reduced dynamic range.
Output Adjusts the final output level.
6
Volume Adjusts the output volume of the microphone sound.
