CHORUS:
A chorus effect is produced by adding a slightly delayed
and slightly pitchshifted “wet” signal to the original (“dry”) signal,
producing a sound with a depth similar to that of a string section or choir.
The RBM-20’s chorus effects have the same editable parameters.
Mono Chorus 1:
Traditional chorus effect.
Mono Chorus 2:
A variation of the
traditional chorus effect.
Stereo Chorus:
Chorus with a simulated stereo effect, creating a “wider” sound.
XOver Chorus:
The chorus effect “moves” around the stereo field.
Rate:
The speed of the modulation of the chorus (or how much the signal is
delayed).
Depth:
How much the chorus’s delay varies.
Feedback:
How much of the delayed signal will be routed back into the
processor again, which creates a thicker chorus effect.
Level:
The volume level of the chorus signal.
VIBRATO:
Vibrato is produced by causing the pitch of a
note to “waver” slightly back and forth, creating a subtle
pulsing effect. This effect is often created by players of
string instruments and horns. The RBM-20’s vibrato
effects have the same editable parameters.
Mono Vibrato:
Traditional vibrato effect.
Vibrato:
Vibrato with a simulated stereo
effect, creating a “wider” sound.
Rate:
The speed of the vibrato (how quickly the pitch wavers).
Depth:
How much the pitch wavers from the center/original pitch.
Level:
The volume level of the vibrato.
DELAYS:
A delay effect is a kind of echo, which varies depending on the size
of the room it emulates and the rate, volume, and decay of the echo.
The RBM-20’s delay effects have some common parameters with
some notable differences.
Mono Doubler:
A very quick delay that
creates a “double-hit” effect.
Doubler:
A very quick delay that creates a
“double-hit” effect in a stereo field.
Delay:
The speed of the delay/echo.
Level:
The volume level of the
delayed signal.
Mono Slapback:
A quick – almost immediate – delay.
Slapback:
Quick delay with a simulated stereo effect,
creating a “wider” sound.
Delay:
The speed of the delay/echo.
Level:
The volume level of the delayed signal.
Mono Delay:
A traditional delay effect.
Delay:
The speed of the delay/echo.
Feedback:
How much of the echo will be routed back
into the processor again, which creates a longer-lasting,
intensified echo effect.
