Attack field You can set the time it takes to start the compression after the incoming signal exceeds the level set in the Threshold field. Release field You can set the time it takes to finish the compression after the incoming signal falls below the level set in the Threshold field. SeqSync field You can set the Rate (the speed of the modulation) with the Beat and the Tick of the tempo in the sequence. When it is set to ON, the display in the Rate field will change to Beat and Tick..

FLYING PAN
This effect changes the normal position of the sound periodically and creates the effect , in which it makes the sound feel like is is rotating around your head.

PHASE SHIFTER
This effect adds sounds with different phases to the original sound, to create a swelling or rotating sound. Sweep rate field You can set the speed of the modulation here. Offset L/R field You can set the amount of the phase shift of L and R. If you set this field to 00, L and R will be in sync. As you increase the value, the phases of the L and R will shift and you can create the complicated effect. Feedback field You can set the feed back level from the output to the effect input. The effect will be boosted and create more a unique sound. Sweep width field You can set the depth of the modulation here. Mid point field You can set the center frequency for the phase shift. If you set this value high, the phase shift will be applied around the high frequency range. L/R sweep sync field If you set it to ON, the Sweep rate will be set at the same cycle for both the Left and Right. If you set to OFF, the sweep rate of the right channel will be set slightly higher than that of the left channel. You will be able to create a more complicated effect.

Sweep rate field You can set the speed of the sound rotation. The higher the value is, the faster the rotation becomes. Width field You can set the shift range of the position (move range). If you set this value higher, the position of the sound changes more drastically. Sweep curve bend field You can set the type of the movement of the position. Pan low field You can set how to move the position. If you select LINER, the position moves horizontally. If you select ROTATE, the position rotates in circle. SeqSync field You can set the Sweep rate (the speed of the sound rotation) with the Beat and the Tick of the tempo in the sequence. When it is set to ON, the display in the Sweep rate field will change to Beat and Tick.

REVERB
This effect adds the reverberation to the original sound, to give the spatial effect and depth to the sound. Input filter field You can set the cut off frequency of the low-pass filter that you wish to apply to the input signal. Time field You can set the length of the reverb. If you set this value higher, you can enhance the special scope of the sound. HF damp field You can set the quality of the reverb. The lower value creates harder sounds, and the higher value creates a softer sound. Reverb level field You can set the level of the reverb.

TREMOLO
TREMOLO changes the sound level periodically to add a periodic modulation to the amplitude of sound. Rate field You can set the speed of the modulation. Depth field You can set the depth of the modulation. Invert field You can set the inversion of the L/R modulation. When set to OFF, both L and R will be modulated in the same way. When set to ON, L and R will be inverted to create a more complex effect.
