9 ADDING EFFECTS to the SOUND (EFFECTS)

160

The OB-12 offers an effects section with which

you can add four fully configurable algorithms

to your sound.

The OB-12 allows you to make use of the

following algorithms:

-

OVERDRIVE: simulates an amplifier

brought to saturation. Can be used when

creating timbres which simulate a guitar.

-

CHORUS: adds space and depth to the

sound.

-

DELAY: produces delayed copies of the

signal, such as the echo effect.

-

REVERB: simulates the diffusion of the

sound in enclosed environments, bearing in

mind the reflection and absorption of the

walls.

the controls on the panel are:

•

[OVERDRIVE]: adds / bypasses the Overdrive effect.

•

[CHORUS]: adds / bypasses the Chorus effect.

•

[DELAY]: adds / bypasses the Delay effect.

•

[REVERB]: adds / bypasses the Reverb effect.

For all the buttons, the same logic applies:

-

LED on: effect active

-

LED off: effect disabled

•

[LEVEL/PARAMETER]: this button allows you to set whether the four trimmers associated to

the four effects are to be used to regulate the level of each algorithm (LED off) or a parameter

defined in the EFFECTS SETTINGS video pages.
