Effects Editing
The PC88Õs built-in effects processor provides reverb, delay and chorusing effects for the on-
board sounds. As weÕve seen, a different combination of effects can be assigned to any Internal
Voice or Setup, and that combination can be remembered when that Voice or Setup is recalled
Ñ depending on the setting of the Effects Change Mode in the Global menu.
Effects can be edited on two levels. The Þrst youÕve already done: change the settings of the
buttons in the
Effects section. When you use those buttons, there is a set of default parameters
that you canÕt see that deÞne the effect youÕve chosen. The second level lets you go beyond the
default parameters, and change individual parameters within the effects themselves. These
ÒtweakedÓ effects can be useful for making a Setup sound Òjust rightÓ, or for creating unusual
combinations for special purposes. Tweaked effects are only usable with Setups: the Internal
Voices, although they can use any Effects -button combination, must use the default settings of
the chosen combination.
If you have the VGM board installed, there are actually two effects processors available,
identical but independently programmable. Parameters for the Internal effects processor are
labelled ÒIntÓ in the display, and those for the VGM processor are labelled ÒVGMÓ.
Effects editing is handled in the Zone Parameters : press the Effects button there. The table
