3
Press the lit [SELECT] button to close the menu screen.
7
Reverb
Adds reverberation to the sound.
7
Gate
Eliminates audio that is lower than the specified threshold level.
This is effective when the noise that you want to remove is separate
from the audio that you want to keep, and can be used to remove
hiss or other noise that is heard during periods of silence.
7
Compressor
Audio that exceeds the specified threshold level is compressed.
This reduces the difference between the maximum volume and
minimum volume, making the audio more comfortable for listening.
7
Equalizer
This is a four-band parametric equalizer. It lets you shape the
character of the sound by boosting or cutting four frequency
regions. The width of the frequency regions can be changed.
7
High-pass filter (HPF)
Cuts off unneeded low-band audio. The cutoff frequency is 80 Hz.
7
Voice changer
Transforms the pitch or character of the voice that is input from
the mic. You can create transformations such as “from a female to
a male voice,” “from a male to a female voice,” or “robot voice.”
7
Anti-feedback
Decreases the unpleasant acoustic feedback that occurs when a
mic is brought near a speaker.
