Internal Effects
IntFx
shows the algorithm or combination of effects that will be applied to the Internal sounds.
These correspond with the various button combinations from the Effects section of the PC88Õs
front panel; as you scroll through the Algorithms, you can see the lights in the Effects section
change in accordance with the Algorithms. For example, when Algorithm #1 (None) is
showing, all the lights are off. Move up to Algorithm #5 (Room Bright), and the lights will glow
next to
Room
and
Bright
. Go to Algorithm #6 (RoomBrt+Ch1), and the lights show
Room
,
Bright
, and
Chorus1
.
The correspondence works both ways: If you have the Algorithm on the display, and you
change the effects using the Effects buttons, the Algorithm will change accordingly.
Internal Reverb Wet
Once youÕve chosen an Algorithm with
IntFx
, you can make modiÞcations in it. Press the right
cursor button (
>>>
) and the display shows
Int Rev Wet
. This sets the ratio of reverberated to
ÒdryÓ unprocessed signal. Maximum value is 127 - all reverb - and minimum is 0 - all dry.
Internal Reverb Time
This sets the overall decay time of the reverb. It also has values of 0 to 127, but exactly what the
numbers mean in milliseconds or seconds is a function of which type of reverb you have
selected. A setting of 127 will mean a longer reverb in an algorithm that uses ÒHallÓ than one
that uses ÒRoomÓ. Setting this parameter to 0 does not cut off the reverb completely: The Þrst
initial reßection (the ÒbounceÓ you hear after you play the note) is not affected by this
parameter, and will still be heard, although later sound will be damped. The timing of that
initial reßection is a function of the reverb type, and stays the same regardless of how you set
this parameter.
Internal Effects Wet
This controls the balance between the dry signal and the effected (chorused or delayed) signal.
Again, 127 means all effect, and 0 means no effect.
Internal Effects Delay
This parameter only changes the Delay effect, not the two choruses. The delay time can be set
from 1 to 350 milliseconds. It also changes the ÒfeedbackÓ ratio Ñ the amount the delayed
signal is fed back into the delay.
Saving Effects
To save the effects edits,
Store
the Setup. The effects parameters are stored with the Setup just
like the Arpeggiator parameters.
Once you start editing an effects Algorithm, do not change Algorithms until you
Save
the
Setup, or you will lose all of your edits. Moving to a new Algorithm calls up that AlgorithmÕs
default values, which override any others. Also, donÕt call up an Internal Voice Ñ or you'll lose
your entire edit, Effects and all! Each Internal Voice has its own Effects setting, so calling one
will put its combination in place, wiping out your edits. (And remember the Effects that
accompany Internal Voices always use default values.)
