PC88 Made Easy
25
7. To hear the effect changes better, it will be easier to temporarily mute the VGM effect
while you edit the Internal effect. Press the Zone 3 button. Since Zone 3 was already
selected, the second button press mutes the zone and the light turns orange. Play the
keyboard and you will only hear the Marimba and Metal Marimba patches.
8. Although you can use the buttons in the effects section to quickly call up basic effects
settings, you have additional control available within the Zone parameters.
Press the Zone 1 button. Press the >> button. The display changes to show Int Rev Wet.
This is the wet/dry mix for the reverb. Try changing the values from low to high, using
the alpha wheel, and play the keyboard to hear the difference. After playing with it, set
this parameter to 85.
9. Press the >> button. The display now shows Int Rev Time. This sets the overall decay
time of the reverb. Again, use the alpha wheel to change the values and play the
keyboard to hear the difference. After playing with it, set this parameter to 70. For more
on how this parameter works, please see page 7-2 in the manual.
10. Now we will edit the Chorus effect in Zone 3. Press the Zone 3 button twice. The
first button press selects the zone and the second one unmutes it. The button is green
again. Now we will want to mute the other two zones so we can hear the Electric Piano
clearly. But instead of going through all the button presses needed to select those zones
and mute them, an easier way is to solo the current zone. Press the Solo button. The
Zone 3 button now turns red, showing that it is the only zone you will hear.
11. Press the >> button three times. The display now shows the VGMFx parameter.
Notice it is set to Chorus 2, which is what we had selected for this zone, in the Effects
section.
12. The VGM effects have an identical set of parameters to those available for the
Internal effects. Press the >> button 3 times. You will pass by the VGM Rev Wet and
VGM Rev Time. Since we have no reverb on this zone, we wonÕt be using those
parameters. The display now shows VGM Eff Wet. This controls the wet/dry mix of the
chorus and reverb. Try changing the values from low to high, using the alpha wheel, and
play the keyboard to hear the difference. After playing with it, set this parameter to 75.
13. Press the >> button again. This parameter is VGM Eff Delay, and controls the time
of the Delay effect. Since we are using Chorus, changing this parameter wonÕt do
anything. Press the Solo button. All of the Zones are now heard if you play the
keyboard.
14. Name and Save this Setup.
