Higher settings result in greater pitch change. This sets the modulation speed of the delayed sound. Higher settings result in faster modulation. This sets the Delay time. Higher settings result in a longer delay. For the exact Delay times, refer to the table below. The following chart shows the correspondence between Effect Time values and actual time (msec) when Delay is the Effect Type. fig.94 FX TIME 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 TIME [msec] 5 10 20 30 45 60 75 90 105 120 135 150 165 180 195 210 FX TIME 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 TIME [msec] 225 240 255 270 285 300 315 330 345 360 375 390 405 420 435 450 Hints on Using Reverb Reverb gives presence and spaciousness to any sound, whether solo or background. However, excessively high effects levels and long effects times may make the performance difficult to follow (because sounds are blurred), or make the rhythm less precise. There is a definite relationship between effect time and effect level. Here are two hints on using Reverb, based on that relationship. • If you want to use a long effect time, decrease the effect level to reduce muddiness. • If you want to use a high effect level, shorten the effect time to reduce muddiness. Hints on Using Delay While Reverb creates a lingering resonance, Delay creates quite a different effect. For Delay effects, the effect time setting can create significant differences in the resulting sound. For example, when playing a melodic solo using a mallet-type Instrument, an extremely short Delay time can be used to thicken the 1 sound. On the other hand, a longer repeating Delay can be set to a Delay time of a half-note or quarter- note that matches the tempo of the song. If you are listening to the SPD-20 in stereo, it can also be interesting to select effect type 22 or 23 (Panned Delay) and select a Pan setting of “random.” Hints on Using Chorus/Flanger 2 For Chorus/Flanger effects, the Time parameter determines the rate (the speed of modulation). For Chorus, lower settings of the time parameter will result in a more spacious sound, and higher settings will result in a more tremolo-like effect. Flanging is often used on metallic sounds such as cymbals or Hi-Hats to produce a frequently-heard effect. 3 Hints on Making Parameter Settings Effects provide many possibilities, but if you always use the same heavily-applied Reverb or Chorus, all the Patches will sound the same. It is important to choose effect settings that are appropriate for the song or suited to the role of the Instrument (solo, backing, special effects, etc.). 4 The FX SEND in the SOUND parameter group allows you to set the effect depth independently for the Instrument assigned to each pad, so it is possible, for instance, to apply flanging only to the cymbals. In the case of Reverb, higher settings of FX SEND will create the impression of the Instrument being played further away, so you might set the FX SEND parameter to a different value for each Instrument to create spatial contrast. By utilizing the Pan setting (the stereo position) and the Chorus effect, you can control a vast performance space. 5 Hints on Not Using Effects Speaking of contrast, it can also be very “effective” to not use effects. Some possibilities are as follows. • To apply effects to certain Instruments and not to others. • To switch to a non-effect Patch at a strategic moment. As an example of the first possibility, you might try using an ethnic percussion Instrument—such as a surdo—without any effects for a feeling of authenticity. As an example of the second possibility, you could switch from a Patch with deep Reverb to a Patch with no effects (or vice versa) to reinforce musical movement or development within a song. 81 Troubleshooting When playing the internal sound generator • No sound Is the volume set to 0? . Check the SPD-20 volume, and the volume of the amp system and mixer. Can you here sound through the headphones? . If there is sound through the headphones, the problem may be that a connecting cable is damaged, or there is a problem with the amp or mixer. Check the amplification system and the audio connections. Is Layer Off selected? . When Layer Off is selected, the sound from only one side is played. Could LEVEL in the SOUND parameter group be set to 0? . Set the levels to an appropriate value (p. 23). Is INST (Instrument Assign) in the SOUND parameter group set to “oFF”? . A pad will not sound if its Instrument Assign parameter is set to “oFF” (p. 22). Is Local Control turned off? . If Local Control is turned off, the pad section is disconnected from the sound generator, so playing the Pads will not produce sound (p. 72). Is CURVE (Velocity Curve) in the SOUND parameter group inappropriate? . Make appropriate settings for the Velocity Curve parameter (p. 24). • No power/Power on, but unit does not operate NOTE Are you using the supplied AC adaptor? . Other AC adaptors may not work properly. If the SPD-20 does not operate even with the c...
