FEATURES

Complete

Selection

of

Effects

The

SE-70

contains

35

effects

and

45

algorithms

(they

determine

the

way

in

which

effects

are

combined).

The

sound

quality

of

individual

effects

rival

those

of

many

professional

devices.

The

unit

is

also

unusually

versatile

as

it

can

be

used

on

almost

any

instrument,

and

in

demanding

recording

situations.

Analog

Distortion

Allows

you

to

obtain

sounds

with

a

warmth

and

fatness

that

you

normally

cannot

get

from

a

digital

device.

Vintage

Effects

Provides

effects

such

as

Slow

Gear,

Vibrato,

and

Ring

Modulator

which

have

in

recent

years

become

more

difficult

to

find.

Sampling

Capabilities

The

SE-70

is

equipped

with

its

own

sampler

capable

of

recording

up

to

2,000

ms

of

sound.

This

allows

you

to

obtain

reverse

playback

by

switching

algorithms.

It

also

means

you

can

conveniently

use

the

unit

in

ways

which

take

advantage

of

its

real-time

capabilities.

Guitar

and

Bass

Synthesis

The

SE-70

is

equipped

with

a

guitar

and

bass

synthesis

feature.

These

can

be

used

in

the

same

way

as

the

effects,

without

having

to

change

any

connections,

Tuner

A

chromatic

tuner

has

been

included

as

part

of

the

unit.

For

guitars

and

basses

it

displays

the

string

name,

and

allows

you

to

select

from

a

number

of

tuning

methods

(regular,

flat,

or

double-flat).

Metronome

The

SE-70’s

metronome

offers

a

complete

selection

of

rhythms,

including

8

beat,

16

beat,

shuffle,

and

syncopation.

Real-Time

Parameter

Control

By

using

a

foot-switch,

expression

pedal,

or

MIDI

messages,

you

can

obtain

real-time

control

over

parameters

while

you

play.

2-In/2-Out

Routing

The

SE-70

provides

for

stereo

input

and

output.

This

assures

that

the

stereo

image

of

the

original

input

will

be

maintained

even

after

effects

are

applied.

It

also

allows

you

to

process

two

separate

signals

in

parallel.

MIDI

Connectors

Since

the

SE-70

is

equipped

with

MIDI

connectors,

it

allows

you

to

send

the

effects

data

to

another

SE-70,

or

into

a

sequencer

for

storage.

Mountable

in

19-inch

Racks

Using

the

optionally

available

RAD-50

Rack

Mount

Adaptor,

the

unit

will

fit

perfect

in

a

19-inch

rack.

grasp

the

plug

itself;

never

pull

on

the

cord.

If

the

use

a

mild

neutral

detergent.

Afterwards,

be

sure

to

wipe

the

unit

thoroughly

with

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

Never

[MEMORY

BACKUP]

The

unit

contains

a

battery

which

maintains

the

contents

of

memory

while

the

main

power

is

off.

The

expected

life

of

this

battery

is

3

years

or

more.

However,

to

avoid

the

unexpected

loss

of

memory

data,

it

is

strongly

recommended

that

you

change

the

battery

every

5

years.

Please

be

aware

that

the

actual

life

of

the

battery

will

depend

on

the

physical

environment

(especially

temperature)

in

which

the

unit

is

used.

When

it

is

time

to

change

the

battery,

consult

with

qualified

service

personnel.

Please

be

aware

that

the

contents

of

memory

may

at

times

be

lost;

when

the

unit

is

sent

for

repairs

or

when

by

some

chance

a

malfunction

has

occurred.

Important

data

should

be

stored

in

another

MIDI

device

(eg.

a

sequencer),

or

written

down

on

paper.

During

repairs,

due

care

is

taken

to

avoid

the

loss

of

data.

However,

in

certain

cases,

(such

as

when

circuitry

memory

itself

is

out

of

order)

we

regret

that

it

may

be

impossible

to

restore

the

data.

[ADDITIONAL

PRECAUTIONS]

Protect

the

unit

from

strong

impact.

Do

not

allow

objects

or

liquids

of

any

kind

to

penetrate

the

unit.

In

the

event

of

such

an

occurrence,

discontinue

use

immediately.

Contact

qualified

service

personnel

as

soon

as

possible.

Never

strike

or

apply

strong

pressure

to

the

display.

Before

using

the

unit

in

a

foreign

country,

consult

with

qualified

service

personnel.

About

Patch

Numbers

There

are

145

‘locations’

in

the

SE-70

where

collections

of

settings

for

the

effects

can

be

stored.

Each

of

these

locations

contains

a

“Patch,”

and

each

one

of

them

is

assigned

a

“Patch

Number”

(1

to

145).

During

performance,

or

when

wishing

to

make

changes

in

the

settings

for

your

effects,

any

Patch

you

need

to

access

can

easily

be

selected

by

specifying

its

number.

1)

will

advance

by

one.

With

each

turn

to

the

left,

the

Patch

MIDI

Program

Change

provide

for

selection

among

(a

maximum

of)

128

different

Patches

(1

to

128).

However,

since

the

SE-70

is

capable

of

storing

more

than

128

Patches,

it

is

important

to

have

a

way

to

select

Patches

having

numbers

beyond

the

range

of

the

Program

Change

Numbers.

This

is

where

this

unit’s

Program

Change

feature

becomes

useful,

since

it

allows

you

to

arbitrarily

set

up

a

correspondence

between

any

given

Program

Change

and

a

Patch

Number.

The

Program

consists

of

a

complete

record

for

all

these

When

completed,

press

EXIT

return

to

the

screen.

In

normal

situations

(with

a

musical

connected)

you

should

set

the

to

“Direct.”

If,

however,

you

are

using

a

setup

where

the

unit

is

connected

to

a

mixer’s

Send/Return

jacks,

it

should

be

set

to

“Mute.”

If

set

“Direct,”

there

will

be

a

change

in

the

balance

of

the

mixer’s

output

between

times

when

the

and

OFF.

This

is

because

even

Editing

Patches

The

SE-70

contains

145

preset

Patches.

This

section

shows

you

how

to

edit

these

existing

Patches

in

order

to

create

new

ones.

These

new

Patches

can

then

easily

be

stored

in

memory.

1.

First,

Some

Basics

About

Patches

1)

Composition

of

Patches

About

Preset

areas

and

User's

Areas

Of

all

the

Patch

Numbers

from

1

to

145,

numbers

101

to

145

are

in

the

Preset

Area,

where

you

are

not

permitted

to

store

any

changes.

Note,

however,

that

you

can

save

whatever

changes

you

make

to

a

Patch

from

the

Preset

Area,

as

long

as

you

write

it

to

a

location

within

the

User Area

(No.

1

to

100).

About

Algorithms

Every

Patch

is

created

based

on

“algorithms.”

An

algorithm

consists

of

settings

which

define

which

effects

are

to

be

used,

and

the

order

in

which

they

occur.

(The

effects

order

does

make

a

difference.)

By

choosing

a

specific

algorithm,

you

obtain

a

particular

set

of

effects

and

the

way

they

are

connected.

Note

that

any

unwanted

effects

included

in

an

algorithm

can

simply

be

turned

off.

Every

time

you

change

Patches,

the

algorithm

that

is

used

for

the

selected

Patch

appears

in

the

display.
