Setting effects for a Patch (Effects)

✳

With the Arpeggiator on, closing the Arpeggio win-

dow in the Play display (PATCH) will assign the func-

tion to re-open the Arpeggio window to [F6]. To set

effects parameters, hold down [SHIFT] as you press

[F6] to call up the relevant display.

...........................................................................................................

Deciding how you want the effects to be ‘connected’ (rout-

ing) depends mainly on how each Tone and effected sounds

are output. Set the routing, then send level of the signal that

is to be effected. At 0 level, nothing is sent and no effects are

connected.

The first step is to configure effects routing on the General

(Effects general) display. The basic procedure for deciding

effects routing is discussed below.

✳

The graphic display as well as parameters on display

will change with the settings.

(Basic Procedure)

❶

Press [EFX], [CHORUS] and/or [REVERB] to turn on

the effects you want.

Parameter settings have no effect unless you’ve turned on

the effects you want.

❷

Deciding Tone destination.

Use Output Assign to specify how each Tone is output. If

you want each Tone to go through EFX, select EFX and use

the Mix/EFX Send Level parameter to adjust Tone level.

❸

Adjusting Chorus and/or Reverb amount.

Make your basic Chorus and Reverb settings for each Tone

here.

For Chorus, set the Chorus Send Level parameter. Set it to 0

if you don’t want this effect.

For Reverb, set the Reverb Send Level parameter. Set it to 0

if you don’t want this effect.

✳

Detailed settings such as how chorus is to sound or is

output should be made on the Chorus display. Do the

same for reverb type, reverb time, etc. on the Reverb

display.

❹

Selecting EFX type.

If you’ve selected EFX in step 2, use the EFX Type parameter

to select EFX type.

✳

Detailed settings for the EFX type you’ve selected

should be made on the EFX Param display.

❺

Adding chorus or reverb to a sound that’s gone

through EFX.

If you want to apply chorus and/or reverb to the sound after

it’s gone through the EFX, adjust the amount of chorus and

or reverb using the EFX Chorus Send Level and EFX Reverb

Send Level parameters. If not, set it to 0.

❻

Deciding on the destination of sound that’s gone

through the EFX.

Use EFX Output Assign parameter to send it to the MIX

OUTPUT jack or DIR OUTPUT jack.

❼

Make fine adjustments for EFX, Chorus and Reverb to

adjust the balance between these effects.

...........................................................................................................

1 (or 3) and Tone 2 (or 4) outputs are combined into

Tone 2 (or 4). Tone 1 (or 3) settings will be ignored.
