Major Features The 1204 is a multi-effect device with the following features: 512 preset effect programs (32 effects x 16 patterns) Memory capacity for storing up to 100 of your own effect settings, resulting in a total of 612 available effect sounds. Easily changeable parameters let you create your own effect settings. Manual mode allows editing parameters in real time while using an effect. Integrated 18-bit A/D and D/A converter with sampling frequency of 44. 1 kHz achieves professional sound quality at an astonishingly affordable price. Organization of This Manual This manual consists of the following chapters. [. . . ] Turning the control to the left (counterclockwise) attenuates the low frequencies and turning the control to the right (clockwise) emphasizes them. In the center position (pointing straight up), frequency response is flat. Turning the control to the left (counterclockwise) attenuates the high frequencies and turning the control to the right (clockwise) emphasizes them. In the center position (pointing straight up), frequency response is flat. Use the EDIT1 and EDIT2 controls to adjust the effect parameters. Note: Which parameters are assigned to the EDIT1 and EDIT2 controls depends on the selected effect. For details, please refer to the chapter "Effect Types, Effect Patterns, Effect Parameters" on page 24. s Turning effect processing on and off Normally, when the 1204 is turned on, effect processing is automatically enabled. This is called the "effects on" or "active" condition. Temporarily disabling effect processing is called the "effects off" or "inactive" condition. By switching between the active and inactive condition, you can easily verify the sonic character of an effect. During a performance, switching can also be used to dramatically highlight a passage. By looking at the EFFECT indicator you can quickly tell whether effects are on or off. Verify that the EFFECT indicator is lit and the output sound is the effect sound. The EFFECT indicator goes out and effects are off. Caution: When effects are off, only the DRY sound is output. Since the MIX LEVEL control operates as usual, turning it fully towards the WET position causes the output to be cut off entirely. The effect has now been adjusted. Caution: The LOW and HIGH EQ controls on the front panel affect only the WET (effect) sound, not the DRY (original) sound. If the output sounds distorted although the PEAK indicator does not light up frequently, an EQ control may be set to a position which causes excessive boost. Verify that the EFFECT indicator is out and the output sound is the original sound. The EFFECT indicator comes on and effects are on. s 17 s s Storing effect settings in memory If you have followed the various steps described above, you have selected an effect and pattern and adjusted the effect sound. When you have found a setting that you like, you can easily store this setting in the memory of the 1204, so that you do not have to make the same adjustments every time you want to use this setting. Once a setting has been stored, it can be called up quickly, using the memory mode of the unit. Note that any setting stored in a certain memory number will be lost (overwritten) when another setting is stored in the same number. Use the v and w keys to select the memory number in which you want to store the effect setting. Caution: If you want to cancel the process, you can press the CANCEL key at this point. If you go ahead with the store function, any earlier setting stored in the selected memory number will be overwritten. Store precautions When wishing to store an effect setting that you have made in manual mode, be sure to initiate the store process in manual mode. [. . . ] Check all devices and adjust controls. Symptom Sound is distorted or breaks up. Check Is input signal level too high?Is EQ LOW or EQ HIGH control turned all the way up? Remedy Adjust INPUT level control so that PEAK indicator lights up only occasionally during signal peaks. Press CANCEL key to terminate recall mode and use MODE key to switch to manual mode. Make the settings again and repeat the store process without switching modes. [. . . ]
