Compressor

Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound. Compression can be used to increase sustain for electric guitar, smooth out the volume of a vocal, or bring a drum kit or rhythm pattern further up-front in the mix. 

Wah

This Effect cyclically modulates the tone brightness (cutoff frequency of a filter). Auto Wah modulates the tone via LFO, Touch Wah modulates the tone via volume (note on velocity) and Pedal Wah modulates the tone the pedal control. 

Lo-Fi

This Effect intentionally degrades the audio quality of the input signal via several methods such as lowering the sampling frequency. 

Tech

This Effect changes the tonal characteristics radically by using a filter and modulation.

Vocoder

The Vocoder effect does not belong to any category.When you want to use this effect, set the INSERTION CONNECT parameter in the Effect Connect display (page 109) to “ins L.” 

Misc

This category includes the other effect types. 

VCM is a technology that authentically models the elements in analog circuitry (such as resistors and capacitors). Effect types using the VCM technology produce the uniquely warm characteristics of vintage processing gear. 

VCM Compressor 376

This effect emulates the characteristics of analog compressors, used as standard effects in recording studios. It frames and thickens the sound, and is suitable for drum and bass sounds.
