4. EFX/REVERB
The internal sounds of the MP8 can be enhanced using the built in REVERB
and EFX generators.
There are 7 REVERB types and 20 different EFX types to choose from.
MP8 contains 4 variations of EFX type per INT section, and different EFX
can be added to the sound of each ZONE.
4.1 EFX
The MP8 contains 20 high quality EFX types, designed to complement the
internal sounds. Each internal sound has a preset effect assigned as the default.
The EFX button turns the EFX generator ON or OFF for the selected sound.
To turn the EFX “ON” for the current sound, press the EFX button and the
button will light up. EFX will be added to the current sound.
To turn the EFX “OFF” again, press the EFX button again (The light on the
button will be turned OFF).
EFX type
Press and hold the EFX button for a few seconds. The display shows EFX
type added to the current selected ZONE.
Use the VALUE buttons to change the effect type. Each EFX type has a
default value for RATE and DEPTH, so when changing the EFX type, the
values are changed automatically. You can edit these values with the EFX
RATE and EFX DEPTH knobs in the first row of the CONTROL KNOBS
section on the panel. To choose another ZONE, press ZONE SELECT button
of it.
Chorus: Chorus is a slight detuning of the sound, which adds depth
and richness to the sound.
Flanger: Flanger introduces a shifting comb-filter, which adds motion
and a “hollow” tone to the sound.
Celeste: Celeste is a three phase chorus, with each of the three chorus
units at different phase.
Ensemble: Ensemble is a three phase chorus, with each of the three
chorus units at a different phase and frequency. This gives a
slightly richer sound than the Celeste effect, above.
Delay 1/2/3/4: Delay adds echoes to the sound.
AutoPan 1/2: AutoPan alternates the sound left and right across the stereo
field at a variable rate.
Tremolo 1/2: Tremolo changes the volume of the sound, making it louder
and softer at a variable rate.
Phaser 1/2: Phaser creates a cyclic phase change, adding motion to the
sound.
