EFFECTS
Page 158 S2000 Operator’s Manual - Version 1.30
The two multi-effects channels (FX1 and FX2) are divided into three distinct sections:
DISTORTION/EQ/RING MOD into MODULATION/DELAY into REVERB. The ‘reverb only’
channels (RV3 and RV4) only offer reverb effects.
Single programs may be assigned to these effects channels in the SINGLE mode but the
power of the multi-channel processing comes into its own when in MULTI mode as each part
may be sent to different effects channels. For example, the drums could be sent to RV3 giving
a gated reverb effect, an electric piano sound to FX1 giving EQ, chorus and reverb, an organ
sound could be routed to FX2 to give a distorted rotary speaker effect with echo and a large
room reverb whilst strings and brass could be routed to RV4 with a large hall reverb. Several
parts may be routed to one channel so that programs can share the same effects and each part
has its own individual effects send level for setting the amount of effect on each part.
Furthermore, individual keygroups in a program may be routed to any of the four effects so
that, for example, in a drums program, each drum may have its own reverb send level and
reverb type selected.
NOTE: A single program, part or keygroup cannot be sent to more than one effects channel.
In this way, the S2000 becomes almost a complete studio in one box and you could mix down
a complete multi-timbral musical performance through the stereo outputs. You can also mix
down digitally through the S2000’s optional digital output to DAT or any other digital
recorder/editor such as the Akai DR4 or DR8.
