Delay
You can set some Timbres so that they don’t sound
immediately at note-on. This can create cool effects,
and more dramatic layers.
You can specify the delay for each Timbre either in
milliseconds (ms), or in rhythmic values which sync to
the system tempo.
If you set the Delay to Key Off, the Timbre will sound
when the note is released.
Editing Programs with Tone Adjust
Using Tone Adjust, you can make detailed edits to
Programs within the context of the Combination.
These edits will not affect the original Program, or any
other Combinations which use the Program. To edit a
Program with Tone Adjust:
1. Press the CONTROL ASSIGN TONE ADJUST
switch (the LED will light).
2. Access the P0: Play– Control Surface page.
This page mirrors the Control Surface. It’s very useful
with Tone Adjust, since it shows you the parameter
assignments, exact values, and so on.
3. Select the Timbre whose parameters you’d like to
adjust.
4. Edit the controls as desired.
In addition to editing the values, you can also change
the assignments of Tone Adjust parameters to the
sliders, and switches.
For details, please see “Using Tone Adjust” on page 49.
Effects
Effects are covered in their own section of the manuals,
so we won’t go into too much detail here.
Insert Effects
Insert Effects let you send either individual Oscillators
or the entire Program through up to 5 effects, in series.
You can use any type of effects, from distortions and
compressors to choruses and reverbs. The Insert Effect
output can be routed to the (MAIN) L/MONO and R
jacks, as well as to each INDIVIDUAL jack.
Two double-size effects (154: St.Mltband Limiter – 170:
Early Reflections) can be used in IFX1–4, plus one
normal effect for a maximum of three effects. You can
also use one double-size effect and up to three normal
effects for a total of up to four effects.
For details, please see “Insert effects” on page 155.
Master Effects
There are two Master Effects, which are accessed
through Sends 1 and 2. These are best-suited to effects
such as reverbs and delays. You can use any type of
effect, but double-size effects can be used only in
master effect 1. When using a double-size effect,
master effect 2 cannot be used.
For details, please see “Master effects” on page 156.
Total Effect
The Total Effect is dedicated to processing the main L/
R outputs. The Total Effect is suitable for use with
effect types that are applied to the entire mix, such as
compressor, limiter, or EQ.
You can use effects other than double-size effects.
For details, please see “Total Effect” on page 157.
Automatically importing a
Combination
into Sequencer mode
The Auto Song Setup feature automatically applies the
settings of the current Combination to a song.

this function to start recording immediately.
Hold down the ENTER switch and press the
SEQUENCER REC/WRITE switch. The Setup to
Record dialog box will open and ask “Are you sure?”.
Press “OK”. You will automatically enter Sequencer
mode, and will be in the record-ready state. Press the
START/STOP switch to start the sequencer and begin
recording.
