between

(1st

The

determine

the

between

input

of

the

original

note

and

output

of

the

first

or

note.

PBAL

(Pitch

A=1.

A=B.

Sets

the

between

the

1st

and

pitch

-shifted

notes.

a

setting

of

"A=50,"

for

example,

produces

only

the

sound

of

the

1st

"A=B"

produces

both

notes

in

produces

only

the

sound

of

the

2nd

note.

Li/L

LPF

(Low-pass

Filter

Sets

the

of

low-pass

filter.

The

"THRU"

setting

bypasses

the

filter.

FB

(Feedback:

—100

—

+100%)

When

this

parameter

is

set

to

0,

only

a

single

pitch

-shifted

sound

is

produced

after

the

DELAY

time

has

elapsed.

As

the

value

of

this

parameter

is

increased,

however,

more

and

more

delayed

repeats

are

produced,

each

pitch

-shifted up

or

down

from

the

previous

repeat

according

to

the

settings

of

the

PCA

and

PCB

parameters.

KEY

(Base

Key:

OFF.

C1

—

C6)

This

parameter

sets

the

"base

key"

for

an

external

MIDI

synthesizer

used

to

control

the

amount

of

pitch

change

produced

(the

MIDI

OUT

terminal

of

the

synthesizer

must

be

connected

to

the

FX900

MIDI

IN

terminal,

and

the

FX900

must

be

set

to

receive

on

the

MIDI

channel

on

which

the

synthesizer

is

transmitting).

If,

for

example,

the

KEY

parameter

is

set

to

C4,

pressing

the

C3

key

on

the

synthesizer

(C3

is

one

octave

lower

than

C4)

will

set

the

pitch

change

value

to

—12.

Pressing

D4

on

the

keyboard

would

produce

a

pitch

increase

of

one

whole

-tone

(+2).

When

two

keys

are

pressed,

the

highest

note

determines

the

pitch

of

the

PCA

(or

PCL

in

the

PCS

program)

sound,

and

the

lower

note

determines

the

pitch

of

the

PCB

(or

PCR

in

the

PCS

program)

sound.

If

a

key

more

than

one

octave

higher

or

lower

than

the

base

key

is

pressed,

the

resultant

pitch

change

setting

will

still

be

within

the

—12

to

+12

range,

as

shown

in

the

illustration

below.

If

the

KEY

parameter

is

set

OFF,

pitch

cannot

be

controlled

via

the

MIDI

IN

terminal.

MIX

(Mixing:

0

-100%)

Sets

the

balance

between

the

direct

and

pitch

-changed

sound.

LVL

(Output

Level:

—30

—

+6

dB)

Determines

the

output

level

of

the

PCM

effect.
