Insert Effects (IFX1–IFX5)
In/Out
Insert Effects (IFX 1–5) have a stereo input and a stereo output. If
you set the Wet/Dry parameter to Dry (no effect), the input signal
will be passed through, in stereo, without being processed by the
effect. If you select Wet (effect applied), the processed signal will
be output in one of the following ways:
Input/output variations for each effect are shown on upper left of
the block diagrams starting on page 217.
If you select 000: No Effect, stereo input signals are output in ste-
reo without being processed.
In each mode, you can use IFX1–IFX5 On/Off to turn the effect
on/off. If an effect is off, it will be bypassed. Just as when 000: No
Effect is selected, the stereo input sound will be sent through as a
stereo output.
The KROSS can also turn IFX1–IFX5 off separately from the
setting of the On/Off by receiving MIDI control change
message CC#92. Value 0 will turn them off, and value 1–127
will turn them on.
You can also use “Effect SW” (see page 157) to turn IFX1–5
on and off. This MIDI control is performed on the global
MIDI channel (see page 160).
Double-size effects
Double-size effects (D00: St.Mltband Limiter–D13: Early
Reflections) use twice the capacity of normal-size effects.
You can use double-size effects for insert effects IFX1–IFX4 and
master effect MFX1. However, the effect of the number that fol-
lows it will be unavailable. For example if you’ve selected a dou-
ble-size effect for IFX1, you won’t be able to use IFX2. If you’ve
selected a double-size effect for MFX1, you won’t be able to use
MFX2.

and IFX4
Routing
You can use up to five channels (IFX 1–5) for the Insert Effects in
any mode.
Program mode
Use BUS page Bus to set the destination bus of the oscillator out-
put.
L/R: Send the output to the L/R bus. Instead, it is sent to OUT-
PUT L/MONO and R after the MFX.
IFX1…5: The signal is sent to Insert Effects IFX 1–5.
Off: The output will not be sent to the L/R bus, or IFX1–5 buses.
Choose the Off setting if you want to connect the oscillator output
to a master effect in series. Use SEND page OSC1 Send1, OSC1
Send2, OSC2 Send 1, and OSC2 Send2 to adjust the send level.
The following illustration shows the output of oscillators 1
and 2 sent to IFX1.
Use SEND page OSC1 Send1, OSC1 Send2, OSC2 Send 1,”and
OSC2 Send2 to specify the send level for the Master Effects. This
setting is effective if Bus is set to L/R or Off.
If “Bus” is set to IFX1–5, use “Send1” and “Send2” (see page 59)
to specify the send level of the post-IFX signal.
Send1 responds to CC#93, and Send2 responds to CC#91. At
this time, the actual send level uses the value of the Send 1
and 2 settings for Oscillators 1 and 2, multiplied by the Send
1 and 2 values received via MIDI.
In the example shown in the next diagram, Oscillators 1 and 2 out-
puts being sent to IFX1.
If you want to connect insert effects in series, turn IFX page
“Chain” On and use “Chain To” to specify the chain-destination.
Effects can be chained only in ascending order of their number;
for example IFX1 can be chained to IFX2 through IFX5, and IFX2
can be chained to IFX3 through IFX5. You can create a chain of
up to five insert effects in series, IFX1 through IFX5.
When the Insert Effects are connected in series, the values of the
“Pan(CC#8),” “Bus,” “Send1,” and “Send2” parameters for the
post-IFX signal will be used.
In the following illustration, “Chain” is On and “Chain To” is set
to the next IFX, creating a series connection of
IFX1→IFX2→IFX3. The “Pan (CC#8),” “Bus,” and “Send 1” and
“Send 2” settings after the signal has passed through IFX3 will be
used.
Adjust these parameters in the MIXER page.
