The 2100 is a multi-effects unit with the following features: Versatile effects The 2100 has 33 versatile effects. In particular, the 2100 offers thirteen distortion effects (for the DIST module) for discerning guitarists, including Clean, Distortion, Acoustic simulator, etc. Abundant preset patches You can use up to 60 patches, including 30 PRESET patches and 30 USER patches. [. . . ] You can, however, revert any patch or all patches in the USER group to their factory default settings. (See page 20. ) · You can also use the [VALUE+/­] keys to select the copy (store) destination. Use the [BANKv] switch and foot switches 1­3 to select a copy destination patch. If you do not specify the destination, the original bank number and the patch number will be automatically selected. You cannot store the patch in the PRESET group. If a patch from the PRESET group is selected before you perform step , pressing the [STORE] key will automatically select patch "01" of the USER group. Select the desired bank number and patch number. NOTE NOTE 11 Using the Sampler function The 2100 features a Sampler function that allows you to record and play up to 32 seconds of data. Using this function, you can record your performance or other sound sources, such as a CD player, input from the AUX IN jack, and play back the data. If you also use the Pitch Revision function, you can play the recorded data at slower speed without affecting the pitch. This is useful for practicing phrases from the recording. Preparing to use the Sampler function Before using the Sampler function, you need to select a recording source and set the maximum recording time. BANK PATCH POSITION1. COMP/WAH·DIST 2.

The 2100 enters Edit mode. The SAMPLER is selected for editing. s Parameter 3: Constant Pitch The 2100 has a Constant Pitch function that keeps the same pitch even if the playback speed of the Sampler function is changed. Use this parameter to turn the function "on" (Constant Pitch = on) or "oF" (Constant Pitch = off). NOTE Press the same parameter select key repeatedly to select the desired parameter to edit. You can select the following parameters for the SAMPLER: s Parameter 1: Selecting an input source Select a recording source from the following: 1: AUX Mix: L/R channel signals input from the AUX IN jack are mixed and recorded. 2: AUX Lch: Only L channel signal input from the AUX IN jack is recorded. 3: AUX Rch: Only R channel signal input from the AUX IN jack is recorded. 4: PLAYNOTE: Only the instrument signal input from the INPUT jack is recorded. If you select this source, you cannot change the playback speed. The Pitch Correct function uses a special pitch shifter, and may cause the pitch to fluctuate. If the sound is difficult to hear, turn the Constant Pitch parameter off. s Parameter 4: Tone (Tonal correction) This parameter enables you to adjust tonal quality of the Sampler playback sound in the range of ­10 to +10. If you set a value from 1 to 10, the high range will be cut. Use the [VALUE +/­] key to set the parameter value. When you finish setting all parameters, press the [GROUP/EXIT] key to return to Play mode. If you wish to keep these settings, store the corresponding patch. (See page 11. ) The parameters of the Sampler function are global s Parameter 2: Maximum recording time Select a recording mode for the Sampler function. You can select "16" (maximum 16 seconds) for high quality recording, or "32" (maximum 32 seconds) for longer recording. HINT parameters shared by all patches. 12 Using the Sampler function This section describes how to use the Sampler function, using an example of recording a sound source, such as a CD player or a cassette recorder, connected to the AUX IN jack.
