Dly Delay sound Adds an echo-like effect
MEMO
This sets the duration of reverberation, or the modulation rate (1–32). The higher the value, the longer
the reverb duration, or the higher the modulation rate. The result will be dierent depending on the
type of eect. Refer to Eect List in Chapter 5.
The depth of the effect applied to each Instrument (assigned to a pad) is determined by FX SEND in the
SOUND parameter group.
The SPD-20X has four on-board eects: Reverb, Delay, Chorus, and Flanger. There are three eects
parameters: FX TYPE, FX TIME and FX LEVEL.
Adding Effects to the Sound (Effect Parameters)
Effects settings are stored independently for each Patch, so you can set up the ideal effects for each
Patch.
Chapter 5 includes a section on “Taking Advantage of the On-board Eects”, and we suggest that you
read this as well.
Select an Effect (FX TYPE)
This parameter selects one of the 23 eects combinations (1–23).
The Eect Indicator for the selected eect type will light to show the eect being used.
For details on each eect type, refer to Eect List in Chapter 5.
The eects are toggled on/o with each press of [FX ON/OFF].
Setting Effect Duration and Rate (FX TIME)
Adjust the Effect Depth for the Entire Patch (FX LEVEL)
MEMO
NOTE
This eect level parameter will have an audible result only if the [FX ON/OFF] setting is on, and if the
Instrument parameter FX SEND for a pad is set above 0.
This parameter corresponds to the eect return level on a mixer, and higher settings will result in a
deeper eect (0–15). At a value of 0 there will be no eect.
