Chapter 14: Effect
Applying effects of the FX2
to the effect sound of the FX1
Normally, the effect sound is sent to the stereo out directly.
For example, when using the PHASE SHIFTER in the FX1
and REVERB in the FX2, you cannot apply REVERB in the
FX2, since the effect sound of the FX1 is sent to the stereo
out. By using the To FX2 field, you can send the output of
the FX1 to the FX2 to apply the effect of FX2.
• In the SELECT page of the EFFECT mode, set the
To FX2 field to YES.
The sound from the FX1 will be sent to the FX2.
If you set 1 to a pad in the FX SEND page of the
MIXER mode, you can apply the effects of both FX
1 and 2 to them.
If you set 2 to a pad in the FX SEND page of the
MIXER mode, you can apply the effects of FX2.
Editing effects
In this section, you will learn how to edit effects.
When you press the [F2] (FX1) key in the EFFECT mode,
the FX1 page will be displayed, where you can edit the ef-
fects selected in the FX1. Likewise, when you press the [F3]
(FX2) key in the EFFECT mode, the FX2 page will be dis-
played, where you can edit the effects selected in the FX2.
Also, you can change the effects assigned to FX1 and 2 by
selecting the effect type in the FX type field, which is lo-
cated at the top of each page.
Tips : If you press the [F5] (BYPASS) key in the FX1 and FX2
pages, you can turn off the effects temporally. This is useful to
compare the effected sound and the original sound.
Below is a brief overview on each effect.
BIT GRUNGER
This effect adds distortion to the sound to lower the
quality of the sound and create the lo-fi sound.
Depth field Sets the amount to lower the sound
quality. The larger the value is, the
more lo-fi sound will be created.
4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)
This effect is the equalizer, which can adjust the 4 fre-
quency bands to correct or process the sound. Low/Hi
EQ is a shelving type equalizer, which boosts or cuts
the frequencies higher or lower than the specified fre-
quency. The Mid1/2 is a peaking type equalizer, which
boosts or cuts the specified frequency and the harmon-
ics surrounding the frequency.

COMPRESSOR
This effect compresses sound which exceeds a certain
level, to make the sound levels even.
Threshold field
any signals, which exceed the level set here, will be com-
pressed. The lower the value is, the better the result will be.
Gain field
You can adjust the overall level here. As you lower the
value in the Threshold field, the overall level is also low-
ered. You can adjust the final level in this field.
Ratio field
You can set the compression ratio here. The larger
you set the value, the greater the compression be-
comes and you can make the overall level even.
