Using Eects to Modify the Sound (FX)
While editing an instrument will change the way in which the instrument itself produces sound, eects can modify the sound
produced by the instrument. You can use eects to create dramatic changes in the character of the sound.
As eect units, the HandSonic provides three multi-eect units (MFX1–3), ambience, and EQ.
Multi-Eects (MFX1–3)
The multi-eects are versatile eects that give you a choice of numerous eect types,
such as eects that distort, thicken, or cyclically modulate the sound. There are three
multi-eect units (MFX1, MFX2, MFX3), and you can set each unit to produce a dierent
eect.
For the instruments assigned to each pad, you can choose one of the MFX1–3 units for
it to use.

2. Strike a pad to select it, and use the cursor [ ] [ ] buttons to select
