About Note

Some eect settings (such as Rate or Delay Time) can be specied in
terms of a note value. The note value for the current setting is
shown following the numerical value.

note:

Sixty-fourth-note triplet Sixty-fourth note

Thirty-second note

Sixteenth note

Sixteenth-note triplet

Eighth-note triplet

Half-note tripletQuarter note

Half note

Whole note

Whole-note triplet

Double-note triplet

Double note

NOTE

If you specify the delay time as a note value, slowing down the
tempo will not change the delay time beyond a certain length.
This is because there is an upper limit for the delay time; if the
delay time is specied as a note value and you slow down the
tempo until this upper limit is reached, the delay time cannot
change any further. This upper limit is the maximum value that
can be specied when setting the delay time as a numerical
value.

Chorus Send and Reverb Send

The depth of chorus and reverb applied to the sound processed by
the multi-eect is determined by the “Eect Edit” settings “MFX
CHO LVL” and “MFX REV LVL.”

For details, refer to “Editing Eect Settings (EFFECTS EDIT)” (Owner’s
Manual: p. 27).
