(6)(6)(6)(6)(6)3. Pan: Pan simply pans the sound from the left and to the right. It willspeed up as you increase the parameter setting.4. Phaser: Phaser works by shifting portions of the audio signal out ofphase, and then adding the processed signal back to the original one.This way, narrow bands of the frequency range (“notches”) are filteredout. When these frequencies are adjusted, a sweeping Phaser sound iscreated. The depth of the Phaser will increase with the parameterincrease.5. Flanger: Mixing the signal with a slightly delayed copy of itself, wherethe length of the delay is constantly changed, creates Flanging. Thisresembles the sound of a plane taking off and landing. The depth of theFlanger will increase with the parameter increase.6. Pitch: Pitch changes the pitch of the input signal just like a turntablepitch setting. The Pitch effects parameter starts at 0. If you increasethe parameter, the pitch of the input will increase up to 100, whendecreased the parameter of the pitch will go down to -99.7. Brake: This simulates the sound of a record stopping on a turntable.The larger the parameter the longer it takes for the record to stop. PressPLAY/PAUSE (14) to activate the Brake and start playback too.8. Fade: Fade cuts off the audio signal in cycles, the length of the soundwill decrease as the parameter increases.9. Low Pass: Low Pass filters out the other frequencies except thelow frequency. With a larger parameter you will hear it more.10.High Pass: High Pass filters out the other frequencies except thehigh frequency. With a larger parameter you will hear it more.11.Band Pass: Band Pass filters out the other frequencies except themid-range frequency. With a larger parameter you will hear it more.12.Chorus: The Chorus effect can make the signal sound like there aredifferent sounds being played. It also adds some thickness to thesound, and is like the Flanger effect with a bigger delay and nofeedback. Turning the parameter jog wheel will increase the effect.SYNTHS:1. For the SYNTHS (12), you may choose one SYNTH effect to use fromthe 1-12 (13) buttons.2. Tap any of the 12 SYNTH effects to play them like a drum pad foreffects.3. When you PRESS and HOLD a SYNTH EFFECT you will turn on theSYNTH LOOP function. Use the PARAMETER JOG WHEEL (15) toadjust the BPM of the SYNTH LOOP, by turning the JOG WHEEL. TheBPM of the SYNTH that is being used will INCREASE when turned to theRIGHT, and DECREASE when turned to the LEFT. The SYNTH LOOPBPM will start at 120 (0-179) BPM and when another SYNTH LOOP isselected the previous EFFECTS BPM will be remembered.4. Turning the DRY/MIX (19) will adjust the SYNTH VOLUME. If the knob isto the LEFT or DRY, the VOLUME will be OFF or DRY. Turned to theRIGHT or MIX, the VOLUME will be ON or WET.5. Use the SYNTH (12) function for sound effects or to beat match a track.SYNTHS:1. Snare: Snare Drum Hit2. Blub: Cowbell Noise Effect3. Brass: Brass Ensemble4. Buffalo: Ah Sound5. Clap: Hands Clap6. Cymbal: Crash Cymbal7. Kick: Bass-Cymbal Kick8. Bass: Synth Bass9. Metal: Metal Hit10.Piano: Single Note of a Piano11.Pizz: Shaker Noise12.Wasp: Wasp Sound EffectTROUBLESHOOTING:1. If the unit does not come on check the ADAPTER or POWER PLUG, andmake sure that either of them is properly connected.2. If you hear no sound please check all you CABLES and CONNECTIONS,and also make sure the proper KNOBS or BUTTONS are set right.SPECIFICATIONS:GENERAL:Power Supply........................................................................120 V AC, 60 HzPower Consumption................................................................................14 WOperating Temperature...................................+5°C to +35°C (+41°F to +95°F)Weight .....................................................................................1.35 kg (2.9 lb)Maximum External Dimensions............(W 184.15) x (D 184.15) x (H63.5) mm......................................................................(W 7.25) x (D 7.25) x (H 2.5) in.AUDIO UNIT:A/D, D/A Resolution..............................................................................24 BitsNumber of Channels.....................................2 Channels:CH1 & CH2 (Stereo)INPUT/OUTPUT TERMINALS:Audio Line Output Terminals:RCA Pin Jacks................................................................................................4Audio Line Input Terminals:RCA Pin Jacks ...............................................................................................4ACCESSORIES:Operating Instructions....................................................................................1Warranty Card...............................................................................................1AC 15V 1A Adapter.......................................................................................1NOTE: SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGEWITHOUT NOTICE FOR PURPOSE OF IMPROVEMENT.IN THE USA: IF YOU EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THIS UNIT, PLEASE CALL 1 (732) 738-9003 FORGEMINI CUSTOMER SERVICE.
