SEQUENCER: Page Menu Commands Put Effect Setting to Track
555
Note: Return the location to a point earlier in the song, and
play back to verify that the effect changes as you intend. You
can also use the Track Edit page menu command āMIDI
Event Editā to verify that a parameter change system
exclusive message (Exclusive) has been inserted.
Note: If a pattern has been inserted at the insert-destination,
that pattern will be expanded into note data.
Using āPut Effect Setting to Trackā to switch
effects
The āPut Effect Setting to Trackā page menu command
inserts effect settings into a track as exclusive event data.
In this example, weāll apply IFX3 to MIDI track 2, and make
the effect 051: Stereo Phaser change to 048: Stereo Flanger
in the middle of the song. Weāll describe two ways of doing
this; 1) and 2).
In order to perform this example, begin by making the
following settings.
⢠In the Homeā Mixer page, use āProgram Selectā to
choose the desired program for MIDI track 02.
⢠In the MIDI Routing 1 page, route MIDI track 02
āIFX/Indiv. Out Assignā to IFX3. Then in the IFXā
Insert Effect page, choose 051: Stereo Phaser for IFX3.
If you use MIDI parameter change system exclusive
messages to modify effect settings, it will take a certain
amount of time for the effect change to occur. If notes are
sounding, there may be cases in which the sound does not
change smoothly. Consider the timing of the performance
data, and insert the system exclusive message at a
location that will cause minimal disruption to the sound.
You can only insert events to specify the type of effect
and the effect parameters. Settings for effect on/off and
bus selection must be recorded in realtime.
1) Inserting effect settings at the beginning and in the middle
of the song
In this example weāll use the page menu command āPut
Effect Setting to Trackā to insert MIDI parameter change
system exclusive messages into MIDI track 3 so that the
insert effect (IFX3) uses 051: Stereo Phaser for measures 1
through 8, and 048: Stereo Flanger for measures 9 and
following.
1. Select the desired program for MIDI track 2, and send
it to IFX3.
Make the following settings for MIDI track 2.
Track Select: MIDI Track 02 (Homeā Mixer page)
Bus Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign): IFX3 (IFXā MIDI
Routing1 page)
Use the Homeā Mixer page to assign the desired program
to track 2, and use the IFXā Insert Effect page to route the
effect to track 3 and make effect settings.
2. Set Track Select to MIDI Track 03, and specify the
desired routing.
