Basic functions
Effects settings
Effects settings
The effect section of this instrument provides ve
insert effects, two master effects, one master EQ (ste-
reo 3-band EQ), and a mixer that controls the routing of
these components.
You can choose from 102 types of full-digital effects for
each insert effect, and from 89 types for each master
effect. The effects are categorized as follows.
Categories of the 102 effect types
Effects 000089 can be selected for IFX1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
or MFX 1 or 2. Effects 090102 are double-size
effects, and will use twice the processing area of
other effects. They can be selected for IFX2, IFX3 or
IFX4.
Effects in each mode
In Program mode, insert effects can be used as part of
the sound-creating process, in the same way that the
output sound of the oscillator (OSC) is processed by
the lter and amp to create the nal sound. Then the
master effects can be used to apply spatial-type effects
such as reverb. The stereo 3-band master EQ located
immediately before the OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO
and R outputs is used to make nal adjustments in
tone. These settings can be made independently for
each program.
In Combination mode, Sequencer mode, and Song
Play mode, insert effects can be used to help create the
sound of each timbre/track. The master effects are
used to apply overall spatial processing, and the mas-
ter EQ is used to make overall adjustments in tone.
These settings are made in Combination mode inde-
pendently for each combination, in Sequencer mode
for each song, and in Song Play mode for the entire
mode.
Routing settings and effect set-
tings
The insert effects, master effects, and master EQ have
the same structure in all modes, but the routing set-
tings will determine how the oscillators of a program
or the timbres of a combination or track of a song will
be sent to each insert effect or master effect. In the
pages that follow, we will explain how you can make
routing settings and effect settings in each mode.
