MODE
This selects the mode that switches the vowels.
PICKING It changes from VOWEL1 to VOWEL2 along with the picking. The time spent for the change is adjusted with the rate.
AUTO By adjusting the rate and depth, two vowels (VOWEL1 and VOWEL2) can be switched automatically.
VOWEL1 *1 a, e, i, o, u
Selects the first vowel.
VOWEL2 *2 Selects the second vowel.
SENS
*2 0100
Adjusts the sensitivity of the humanizer.
When it is set to a lower value, no effect of the humanizer is obtained with weaker picking, while stronger picking produces the effect.
When it is set to a higher value, the effect of the humanizer can be obtained whether the picking is weak or strong.
RATE 0100, BPM
Adjusts the cycle for changing the two vowels.
* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according to the value of the MASTER BPM specified for each patch. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song.

DEPTH 0100 Adjusts the depth of the effect.
MANUAL
*3 0100
This determines the point where the two vowels are switched. When it is set to 50, VOWEL1 and VOWEL2 are switched in the same length of time. When it is set to lower than 50, the time for vowel 1 is shorter. When it is set to higher than 50, the time for vowel 1 is longer.

NS (NOISE SUPPRESSOR) This effect reduces the noise and hum picked up by bass pickups. Since it suppresses the noise in synchronization with the envelope of the bass sound (the way in which the bass sound decays over time), it has very little effect on the bass sound, and does not harm the natural character of the sound.
Parameter Value Explanation
THRESHOLD Off, 1100
Adjust this parameter as appropriate for the volume of the noise. If the noise level is high, a higher setting is appropriate. If the noise level is low, a lower setting is appropriate. Adjust this value until the decay of the bass sound is as natural as possible.
* High settings for the threshold parameter may result in there being no sound when you play with your bass volume turned down.
* If this is turned "Off," NS is off (bypassed).
RELEASE 0100 Adjusts the time from when the noise suppressor begins to function until the noise level reaches 0.
DETECT

Virtual Expression Pedal System (Internal Pedal / Wave Pedal)
By assigning a desired parameter to the virtual expression pedal, you can produce an effect as though you were operating a physical expression pedal to change the volume or tone quality in real time.
The virtual expression pedal system provides the following two types of functions, and you can use the SOURCE setting for ASSIGN 16 to choose the desired type.
* If you want to use the internal pedal or wave pedal, set the ASSIGN parameter SOURCE MODE to MOMENT.
Internal pedal If SOURCE is set to INT PEDAL, the virtual expression pedal will begin operating when started by the specified trigger (TRIGGER), modifying the parameter specified by TARGET.
The value changes in a curve
When the trigger occurs
Wave pedal If SOURCE is set to WAVE PEDAL, the virtual expression pedal will cyclically modify the parameter specified by TARGET in a fixed wave form.
Always changes in a fixed curve regardless of the actual pedal
About the Range of a Targets Change The value of the parameter selected as the target changes within the range defined by MIN and MAX, as set on the GT-1B.
When using an external footswitch, or other controller that acts as an on/off switch, MIN is selected with Off, and MAX is selected with On.
When using an external expression pedal or other controller that generates a consecutive change in the value, the value of the setting changes accordingly, within the range set by the minimum and maximum values. Also, when the target is of an on/off type, the median value of the received data is used as the dividing line in determining whether to switch it on or off.
When using the footswitch:

* The range that can be selected changes according to the target setting.
* When the MIN is set to a higher value than the maximum, the change in the parameter is reversed.
* The values of settings can change if the target is changed after the MIN and MAX settings have been made. If youve changed the target, be sure to recheck the MIN and MAX settings.

PLAY (PLAY OPTION) Here you can specify how the pedals will work during performance.
Parameter Value Explanation
EXP1 HLD (EXP 1 PEDAL HOLD), EXP2 HLD (EXP 2 PEDAL HOLD)
OFF
The operational status of the EXP 1/2 PEDAL's FUNCTION (p. 18) is not carried over when patches are switched.
ON
If the EXP 1/2 PEDALs FUNC (p. 18) are the same between 2 patches, the operational status is carried over when patches are switched.
For example, if EXP 1/2 PEDAL FUNC is set to FOOT VOLUME in both patches, the one before and the one after the change, the volume corresponding to the position the pedal is in (angle) at the time of the patch change will be maintained after the patch change. On the other hand, if the patch being changed to is set to WAH, the volume will be in accordance with the value set within the patch, and youll obtain a wah effect that is in accordance with a value that reflects the current position (angle) of the pedal.
KNOB LOCK OFF, ON Specifies whether knob operations will be disabled. If this is ON, knob operations will be disabled.
