EFFECTS (Beat Effects)

Beat Effects

1. DELAY effect

Adds delay sound to the original sound.

[BPM mode]

A delay sound is added to the original sound at the value set with the TIME dial. ÷ The DEPTH dial can be used to adjust

the feedback level. Feedback means to input the delay sound back into the delay input. This control allows the amount of the feedback to be adjusted (near the [MAX] setting, the sound level rises).

÷ The CHARACTER dial can be used to

adjust the amount of filter applied to the feedback sound.

÷ The MIX dial can be used to adjust the

levels of the original and delay sounds.

2. ECHO effect

Adds delay sound to the original sound.

[BPM mode]

A delay sound is added to the original sound at the value set with the TIME dial.

[RHYTHM mode]

Adds TAP delay sound to the original sound (Max 8-TAP).

Difference from the DELAY effect:

÷ Even if the BEAT EFFECTS lever switch

is moved from [ON] to [OFF], the feedback sound or TAP delay sound will continue.

÷ In the BPM mode, if the DEPTH dial is

set to [MAX] and the BEAT EFFECTS lever switch is moved from [ON] to [OFF], a hold-delay effect will be produced without attenuating the feedback sound (near the [MAX] setting, the sound level rises). In the RHYTHM mode, when the switch is turned [OFF] the effect will end with the final TAP delay sound for the original sound.

[RHYTHM mode]

A delay sound set with the TAP button (TAP delay sound) is added to the original sound (Max 8-TAP). ÷ The DEPTH dial can be used to adjust

the TAP delay level (near the [MAX] setting the sound volume will rise).

÷ The CHARACTER dial can be used to

adjust the amount of filter applied to the TAP delay sound.

÷ The MIX dial can be used to adjust the

levels of the original and TAP delay sounds.

3. PITCH ECHO effect

Changes the pitch of the delay sound, and applies the effect to the original sound. In the same way as for the ECHO effect, the effect sound is maintained even if the BEAT EFFECTS lever switch is set from [ON] to [OFF].

[BPM mode]

Changes the pitch of the delay sound set with the TIME dial, and applies the effect to the original sound. ÷ The DEPTH dial can be used to adjust

the feedback level.

÷ The CHARACTER dial can be used to

adjust the pitch of the delay sound.

÷ The MIX dial can be used to adjust the

levels of the original and pitch echo sounds.

[RHYTHM mode]

Changes the pitch of the TAP delay sound, and applies the effect to the original sound (Max 4-TAP). ÷ The DEPTH dial can be used to adjust

the TAP delay level (near the [MAX] setting the sound volume will rise somewhat).

÷ The CHARACTER dial can be used to

adjust the pitch of the TAP delay sound.

÷ The MIX dial can be used to adjust the

levels of the original and pitch echo sounds.

4. TRANS effect

Cuts the original sound intermittently.

[BPM mode]

Cuts the sound at the interval set by the TIME dial (cuts latter half of the interval).

÷ The DEPTH dial can be used to adjust

the amount of shift when the sound is cut.

÷ The CHARACTER dial can be used to

adjust the phase difference between L and R channels.

÷ The MIX dial can be used to adjust the

levels of the original and trans sounds.

6. FILTER effect

A low-pass filter is applied to the original sound to produce more muted sound.

[BPM mode]

The cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter changes with the cycle set by the TIME dial. ÷ The DEPTH dial is used to change the

unique coloring of the sound by adjusting the amount of resonance. (When approaching the [MAX] setting, the level of the sound increases.)

7. PHASER effect

Causes a phase effect by applying a phaseshifted sound to the original sound.

Since the digital jog break can continuously change the parameters of each effect generated by rotating the Jog dial, the effects can be controlled like a musical instrument. Further, by using the jog memory function, the continuously changing effect sound can be stored in memory, and later played back by pressing one of the JOG MEMORY PLAY buttons (SINGLE or LOOP).

1. Use the Jog effect select buttons to select the desired effect.

¶ Select from JET, WAH, PHASE SHITER, RING, ZIP,

HUMANIZER, or VOCODER.

¶ The selected Jog effect button flashes. ¶ See page 12 regarding each effect.

2. Set the DIGITAL JOG BREAK lever switch to ON and turn the Jog dial.

[DIGITAL JOG BREAK Lever switch operation] When pushed away from you to the [ON/LOCK] position:

The switch is locked on, so that the effect continues to be applied even if you remove your hand from the lever. To stop the effect, return the lever to the middle position [OFF].

When pulled toward you to the [ON] position:

¶ Parameter changes caused by rotating the Jog dial are

MIDI SETTINGS

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard protocol designed to allow exchange of information between electronic instruments and/or computers. A MIDI cable is used to connect two appliances equipped with MIDI connectors, thus allowing data to be exchanged between the two appliances. The EFX-1000 uses MIDI to send and receive operation and BPM data (timing clock).

To synchronize beat effects to external sequencer, or use an external sequencer to operate the EFX-1000

1. Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the EFX-1000’s MIDI OUT connector and the MIDI sequencer’s MIDI IN connector.

¶ The MIDI sequencer’s sync mode should be set to slave. ¶ MIDI sequencers which do not support MIDI timing clock

cannot be synchronized.

2. Set MIDI switch to [TRANSMIT] position.

¶ Sync cannot be performed in the case of tracks whose BPM

values cannot be measured stably.

¶ Timing clock is also output for BPM values set by using the

TAP mode.

3. Press the MIDI START/CH SET button.

¶ MIDI timing clock output range is 40-250 BPM.

[Setting TRANSMIT MIDI channel]

The TRANSMIT channel can be set and recorded in memory separately from the RECEIVE channel.

1. Set MIDI switch to [TRANSMIT] position.

2. In this condition, hold the MIDI START/CH SET button depressed.

¶ The MIDI indicator will flash and the setting mode will be

enabled.

3. Rotate the TIME dial to select MIDI channel.

4. Press the MIDI START/CH SET button.

¶ The MIDI channel will be recorded, and the unit will leave

the setting mode.

NOTE:

It may not be possible to set BPM correctly with some tracks.

1. Use a commercially available MIDI cable to connect the MIDI sequencer’s MIDI OUT connector to the EFX-1000’s MIDI IN connector.

¶ Adjust controls for optimum instrument input/output levels. ¶ Set all effect switches to OFF. ¶ Set BYPASS switch to OFF.

2. Set the MIDI switch to the [RECEIVE] position.

¶ The MIDI OUT/THRU connector will throughput (output) the

same signal that was input.

3. Start the MIDI sequencer.

¶ Even during use of sequencer control, the EFX-1000 can be

controlled directly if desired, but depending on the volume, the set parameter values may jump at the instant an operation is performed, so caution is needed.

¶ The range that the MIDI timing clock can accept is 40-250

BPM.

[Setting the RECEIVE MIDI channel]

The RECEIVE channel can be set and recorded in memory separately from the TRANSMIT channel.

1. Set MIDI switch to [RECEIVE] position.

2. In this condition, hold the MIDI START/CH SET button depressed.

¶ The MIDI indicator will flash and the setting mode will be

enabled.

3. Rotate the TIME dial to select the MIDI channel, then press the TAP button to confirm.

NOTE:

If the MIDI sequencer’s BPM is set in 0.1 units, it may not match the BPM display on the EFX-1000.

MIDI data

During RECEIVE:

¶ During beat effect, if beat operation mode (rhythm mode) is received, the rhythm effect function is enabled.

Thereafter, if the first time rhythm No. 1, time 1, rhythm No. 2, time 2, rhythm No. 3, time 3 are transmitted in that order, the effector continues to operate in response to the received rhythm.

¶ During rhythm effect, if the beat operation mode (BPM mode) is transmitted, the function returns to beat effect.

S001_En

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet librar y, soft whispers 40

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad
