H igher values create a longer reverberation time. REVERB CHARACTER: Delay or Pan Delay: The Time parameter adjusts the time needed for the delay sound to be heard after the direct sound is played. REVERB PRE-LPF: This parameter adjusts the amount of upper frequencies that will be attenuated. That is, setting this value higher will cut more upper frequencies, making the reverberation sound softer. REVERB DELAY FEEDBACK: This parameter adjusts the number of feedback sounds when Delay or Pan Delay is selected. Setting a higher value will increase the number of repetitions. When it is set to "0", a single delay sound will be created. REVERB SEND LEVEL TO CHORUS: This parameter adjusts the amount of chorus added to the reverberation. REVERB MASTER LEVEL: This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverb or delay sound. 27 MODE 1 : CS Control (Editing Chorus Parameters) When "SELECT B" is lit, [Cl ] determines the Chorus setting. Each Chorus parameter set here affects the entire Part. A/1-8 SELECT \ I / _i 0/9-16 CHESSES» REVTYPE CHARACTER TIME LPF DELAY FB SEND CHO LEVEL CHORUS RATE: This parameter determines the chorus rate (speed). Higher values result in faster chorus effects. CHORUS DEPTH: This parameter determines the depth of the chorus. Increasing the value will deepen the chorus effect. CHORUS DELAY: This parameter sets the time needed for the chorus sound to be produced after the direct sound is played. Increasing the value will make the time longer, creating a "doubling" effect. CHORUS PRE-LPF: This parameter adjusts the amount of upper frequencies that will be attenuated. That is, setting this value higher will cut more upper frequencies, making the chorus sound softer. CHORUS FEEDBACK: This parameter adjusts the amount of chorus feedback. Setting a higher value will increase the number of repetitions, creating a flanger effect. When set to 0, a normal chorus sound (without feedback) will be created. CHORUS SEND LEVEL TO REVERB: This parameter adjusts the amount of reverberation added to the chorus sound. CHORUS MASTER LEVEL: This parameter adjusts the volume of the chorus sound. Increasing the value will raise the volume. 28 MODE 1 : GS Control Using a Sequencer [SONG SELECTt-*^)], [STOPM], [START(^)] and [CONTINUE(>>-)] are used to control a sequencer. (Song Selection) To select a song, first specify the Song Number (data value), then press [SONG SELECT(-^^)]. * You can select any Song Number from 1 — 128. Rotate the Dial while holding [SONG SELECT(-^^)], and the Song Select Number you have specified will be transmitted. * When the MCR-8 is switched on, Song Select Number 1 will be automatically selected. This button resumes playback of the song data which has been stopped. * The MCR-8 does not output MIDI clock messages (F8H) and therefore cannot control the start/ stop functions on some sequencers. * Be sure that the sequencer is set to the Remote mode. Remote Mode: This mode plays back data with Start and Continue messages from an external device, using the internal clock in the sequencer. This button stops the playback of song data. This button starts playback of song data. 9 O NUMBER VELOCrTY NOTES OFF/ SET SET CTL RESET GS RESET ru cz=3 lu cm 29 MODE 1: GS Control Other Procedures (Setting the NRPN Receive Switch for the entire Part) [MASTER S1 ] turns on the NRPN Receive Switch for the entire Part. [MASTER S2] turns off the NRPN Receive Switch for the entire Part. In aGS sound module, the NRPN Receive is automatically turned off when the unit is switched on, or when it receives a GM System On. Therefore you should press [MASTER SI ] to turn it on. When the NRPN Receive Switch is turned on, you can edit the parameters that use the NRPN. * When a GS sound module receives a GS Reset message, the NRPN Receive Switch will be automatically turned on. [About NRPN (Non Registered Parameter Number)] Control Change provides a special area where you can designate a unique function in a device without defining that function. This area is called NRPN. On a GS module, parameters can be edited using the NRPN. (Sending the GS Reset) [GS RESET(ll)] can be used as the GS Reset switch. Pressing this button will restore the basic settings of the GS sound module. NOTE NOTE NUMBER VELOCITY NOTES OFF/ SET SET CTL RESET GS RESET [NOTE] When the settings on the GS sound module are not changed, press [GS RESET(il)] or [NRPN ON(MASTER S1)] so that the GS sound module can receive NRPN. If the Device ID Number in the GS sound module has been changed, you must set the Device ID Number on the MCR-8 to match it. If you do not change the Device ID Number on the MCR-8, it will remain as Number 17. To change Device ID Numbers, see "Changing Device ID Numbers" on page 50. 30 Mixer MODE 2: MIDI Mixer This is the mode that directly controls a multi-timbral sound module. It features 8 channels x 2 (SELECT A/B), allowing you to contr...
