PARAMETER
Description
REVERB MIX
(+/- 50%)
Boosts or cuts the
MIX for all REVERB blocks in all presets at once. Note
that this oset is NOT reected in the value shown for the actual reverb
block MIX parameter. This feature is provided because certain performance
spaces may require more or less reverb “across the board.”
EFFECTS MIX
(+/- 50%)
Boosts or cuts the
MIX of all blocks for which the GLOBAL MIX parameter
is set to “ON.” This switch must be enabled on a per-block/per-preset basis
and is available on the MIX page of the edit menu for these block types:
Chorus
Delay
Flanger
Formant
Megatap Delay
Multi-Delay
Phaser
Pitch
Quad Chorus
Resonator
Reverb
Ring Mod
Rotary
Vocoder
This feature is provided because certain performance spaces may require
more or less of certain eects “across the board.”
SPILLOVER
(OFF/DELAY/REVERB/BOTH)
Allows delay and reverb “tails” to ring out or spill over across preset
changes. You can select whether DELAY, REVERB, or BOTH eects will spill
over. Setting to OFF causes eect tails to be cleared upon preset change.
See “Spillover” on page 74 for details on how to set presets/scenes/
blocks for spillover.
