BASS SYNTHESIZER BSY600

Ultimate B ass Synthesizer Ee cts Pedal

Thank you for show ing your condence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER BA SS SYNTHESIZER BSY600.
This high-quality e ects pedal reproduces the fat an d powerful sound of classic analog synthesizer s—
at the touch of a fo otswitch.

1. Controls

(1) The DIRECT control adjusts the level of the

direct, unaected signal.

(2) The EFFECT control adjusts the level of the

synthesizer eect signal.

(3) The RES(onance) control adjusts the

strength of the low-pass lter frequency
peak (see below).

(4) The FREQ(uenc y) control adjusts the

low-pass/allpass lter frequency which
cuts the high-frequencies and therefore
determines the upper and lower limit of the
frequency range the lter moves along.

(5) The DECAY/RATE control has 2 dierent

functions. Depending on the MODE switch
position (see below) it adjust s either the
LFO speed that modulates the amplitude
of the lter frequency (RATE: mode 3 and
6 only) or sets the time over which the lter
frequenc y moves (DECAY). When the decay time is set to MAX, the cut-o lter f requency is xed.

(6) Use the MODE switch to dial up one of 11 synthesizer modes with 4 dierent waveforms.

1. SAW (sawto oth wave that produces sharp -edged sound)

2. SAW (sawtooth wave one octave lower than mode 1)

3. SAW (sawtooth wave with auto matic lter frequenc y shifting)

4. SQUARE (square wave that produces milder sound than the sawtooth modes)

5. SQUARE (similar to mode 4 with additional sq uare wave one octave below)

6. SQUARE (square wave with automati c lter frequency shif ting)

7. PULSE (pulse wave that produces sharp-edged sound diere nt from sawtooth mod es)

8. PULSE (pulse wave with all- pass lter for more depth and motion)

9. PULSE (pulse w ave with pulse width modulat ion for fat, spre ading sound)

10. WAVE (input signal is directly transf ormed to a synthesizer sound. Filter rises when string is
played and returns gradually)

11. WAVE (similar to mode 10, but lter drops when st ring is played and returns gr adually)

(7) The ON/ BATT LED illuminates when the eec t is activated and ashes when the PITCH HOLD

function is active (see below). It also ser ves as a battery level indicator.

(8) Use the foot switch to activate/deac tivate the eect. Keeping the foot switch depressed will

activate the PITCH HOLD function (modes 1 - 9 only) that causes the unit to output the eect
signal continuously, even if the bass is not played at this moment (ON/BATT LED ashes). You can
also play the bass while keeping the footswitch pressed and mix the continuously output eect
signal with the direct bass signal. Release the foot switch to deactivate this function.

(9) Use this ¼" TS IN connector to plug in the ins trument cable.
(10) The two ¼" TS OUT and DIR OUT connec tors send the signal to your amp. Use both connectors i f

you want to separ ate the unprocessed input signal (> DIR OUT) and the synthesized signal (> OUT).
To mix both signals together use OUT only.

BASS SYNTHESIZER BS Y600

(11 ) Use the ¼" TRS EXP(ression) connector to connec t an expression pedal. This way you can ex ternally

control the movement of the lter frequenc y (DECAY) or—for mode 3 and 6—the sp eed of the
eect (R ATE). When using an expression pedal the DECAY/RATE control determines the max. value
(expression pedal fully pressed).

Use the DC IN connection at the front of the unit to plug in a 9 V power supply (not included).

The BATTERY COMPARTMENT is located underneath the pedal cover. To install or replace the 9 V battery,
press the hin ges with a ballpen and remove th e pedal cover. Be careful not to sc ratch the unit.

◊ The BSY600 has no on/o switch. As soon as yo u insert the plug into the in connector,

the BSY600 begins running. When not u sing the BSY600, remove the plug from the
in connec tor. This extends the li fe of the battery.

The SERIAL NUMBER is located at the underside.

◊ In rare cases interferences of the normal function may appear by external inuence

(e.g. electrostatic discharge), as for example sound disturbances or malfunctions. If this
occurs, please turn down the volume on subsequent ampliers and disconnect the input
connector briey to restart the application.

2. Safety Instructions

Do not use near water, or install near heat s ources. Use only authorize d attachments/accessories.
Do not service produc t yourself. Contact our qualied servicing personnel for servicing or rep airs,
especially w hen power supply cord or plug is damaged.
