Parameter List
Total Eect Parameters
COMP
Parameter Value Explanation
Switch OFF, ON
Species whether the master COMP (a
compressor applied to the entire sound
generator of the MC-707) is used (ON) or not
used (OFF).
Low Attack Time 0.1–100 [ms]
Species the time from when the input
exceeds Low Thres until compression is
applied to the volume of the low-frequency
band.
Low Release Time 10–1000 [ms]
In a state when compression is already being
applied, this species the time from when the
input decreases below Low Thres until the
low-frequency band stops being compressed.
Low Threshold -60–0 [dB]
Species the volume level at which
compression starts for the low-frequency
band.
Low Ratio

applied, this species the time from when
the input decreases below Mid Thres until the
mid-frequency band stops being compressed.

Species the volume level at which
compression starts for the mid-frequency
band.

Species the compression ratio for the mid-
frequency band.
Mid Knee 0–30 [dB]

frequency band.
HighAttack Time 0.1–100 [ms]
Species the time from when the input
exceeds High Thres until compression is
applied to the volume of the high-frequency
band.
High Release Time 10–1000 [ms]
In a state when compression is already
being applied, this species the time from
when the input decreases below High Thres
until the high-frequency band stops being
compressed.
High Threshold -60–0 [dB]
Species the volume level at which
compression starts for the high-frequency
band.
High Ratio
1: 1, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1, 8: 1,
16: 1, 32: 1, INF: 1
Species the compression ratio for the high-
frequency band.
High Knee 0–30 [dB]
This is a function that smooths the onset of
compression from the uncompressed state; it
gradually applies compression starting earlier
than High Thres. Higher values produce a
smoother transition.
High Output Gain -24.0–+24.0 [dB]
Species the output volume of the high-
frequency band.
Split Freq Low
16–16000 [Hz]
Species the frequency at which the low-
frequency band (LOW) and mid-frequency
band (MID) are divided.
Split Freq Hi
Species the frequency at which the high-
frequency band (HIGH) and mid-frequency
band (MID) are divided.
EQ
Parameter Value Explanation
Switch OFF, ON
Species whether the master EQ (an equalizer
applied to the entire sound generator of the
MC-707) is used (ON) or not used (OFF).
EQ Input Gain -24–+24 [dB]
Adjusts the amount of boost/cut for the input
to the EQ.
Low Gain -24–+24 [dB] Gain of the low frequency range.
Low Freq 20–16000 [Hz] Frequency of the low range.
Mid1 Gain -24–+24 [dB] Gain of the middle frequency range 1.
Mid1Freq 20–16000 [Hz] Frequency of the middle range 1.
Mid1 Q 0.5–16.0
Width of the middle frequency range 1.Set a
higher value for Q to narrow the range to be
aected.
Mid2 Gain -24–+24 [dB] Gain of the middle frequency range 2.
Mid2Freq 20–16000 [Hz] Frequency of the middle range 2.

higher value for Q to narrow the range to be
aected.

Mid3 Freq 20–16000 [Hz] Frequency of the middle range 3.
Mid3 Q 0.5–16.0
Width of the middle frequency range 3.Set a
higher value for Q to narrow the range to be
aected.

MFX
Parameter Value Explanation
Switch OFF, ON Turns the eect on/o.
MFX parameters (Shows the parameters of the selected MFX.)
Cho Send
(Chorus Send Level)
0–127
Species the chorus send level of the sound
after MFX is applied.
Rev Send
(Reverb Send Level)
0–127
Species the reverb send level of the sound
after MFX is applied.
MFX CTRL
Src1–4
(MFX CtrlSrc 1–4)
Species the MIDI message that will control the corresponding MFX
CONTROL parameter.
OFF MFX will not be used.
MOD: CC01–31 Controller number 1–31
CC33–PHASR: CC95 Controller number 33–95
BEND Pitch Bend
AFT Aftertouch
SYS-CTRL1–SYS-
CTRL4
The controllers assigned by the system
parameters SysCtrlSrc1–4 Source are used.
MFX CTRL
Dst1–4
(MFX CtrlDst 1–4)
Species which of the multi-eect parameters are controlled using
MFX CONTROL. The multi-eects parameters available for control
will depend on the multi-eects type.
MFX CTRL
Sens1–4
(MFX CtrlSens 1–4)
-63–+63
Species the depth of MFX CONTROL.
Specify a positive “+” value if you want to
change the value of the assigned destination
in a positive direction (larger, toward the
right, faster, etc.), or specify a negative value
“-” if you want to change the value in a
negative direction (smaller, toward the left,
slower, etc.). Larger values will allow a greater
amount of control.
Controlling a MFX via MIDI
(MFX CONTROL)
You can use MIDI messages such as control change messages to control the principal MFX
parameters. This capability is called “MFX CONTROL (multi-eects control).”
The editable parameters are pre-determined according to the MFX type. You can specify up
to four parameters for multi-eect control.
To use MFX CONTROL, you’ll need to specify which MIDI message (Source) will aect which
parameter (Destination), and how greatly (Sens).
