TYPES OF BEAT EFFECTS

4 FILTER

1 DELAY (One repeat sound)

(8 beats)

1 cycle of flanger effect is produced quickly and easily.

2 ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds)

This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/8, 1/4, 1/2,

3/4, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, or 16/1 to be added quickly and simply.

For example, when a 1/1 beat echo sound is used to cutoff the

input sound, a sound in synch with the beat is repeated

together with fadeout.

Also, by adding a 1/1 beat echo to the microphone, the

microphone sound repeats in synch with the music beat.

6 PHASER

If a 1/1 beat echo is applied to the vocal portion of a track, the

In units of 1/4, 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1, 16/1, 32/1, or 64/1 beat,
