A Prime Phaser effect for bass guitar.

Parameter Value Explanation
ON/OFF OFF, ON Turns this effect on/off.
STAGE 2 STAGE, 4 STAGE, 8 STAGE, 16 STAGE, 24 STAGE Select the number of stages for the phaser effect.
RATE 0–100, BPM ŀ–Ō

Adjusts the frequency (speed) of the volume change.

  • When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the “MASTER BPM” specified for each memory. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song.
  • If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
DEPTH 0–100 Determines the depth of the phaser effect.
RESONANCE 0–100 Determines the amount of resonance (feedback). Increasing the value emphasizes the effect, for a more unusual sound.
MANUAL 0–100 Adjusts the center frequency of the phaser effect.
WAVEFORM TRI, SINE Selects the type of wave.
SEPARATION 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180 Adjusts the diffusion. The diffusion increases as the value increases.
STEP RATE OFF, 0–100, BPM ŀ–Ō

This sets the cycle of the step function that changes the rate and depth. When it is set to a higher value, the change will be finer. Set this to “OFF” when not using the Step function.

  • When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the “MASTER BPM” specified for each memory. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song.
  • If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that time.
BI-PHASE OFF, ON Specifies whether the two phase shift circuits are connected in series (ON) or not (OFF).
LOW DAMP -100–0 Adjusts the amount of feedback for the low-frequency region.
HIGH DAMP -100–0 Adjusts the amount of feedback for the high-frequency region.
LOW CUT FLAT, 20.0 Hz–12.5 kHz Sets the frequency at which the low cut filter begins to take effect. When “FLAT” is selected, the low cut filter has no effect.
HIGH CUT 20.0 Hz–12.5 kHz, FLAT Sets the frequency at which the high cut filter begins to take effect. When “FLAT“ is selected, the high cut filter has no effect.
EFFECT LEVEL 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the phaser.
DIRECT MIX 0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
BPM 40–250

Adjusts the BPM value for each memory.

  • BPM (beats per minute) indicates the number of quarter note beats that occur each minute.
  • When you have an external MIDI device connected, the MASTER BPM synchronizes to the external MIDI devices tempo, making it impossible to set the MASTER BPM. To enable setting of the MASTER BPM, set “SYNC CLOCK” to “INTERNAL”.
