How Effects are Organized on the SC-8850
The effects of the SC-8850 can be categorized into System effects (p.79) and Inser-
tion effects (p.88).
As System effects, the SC-8850 provides 8 types of reverb to add reverberation to the
sound, 8 types of chorus to add depth, 10 types of delay to add echo-like effects, and
a 2-band equalizer to modify the tonal character by boosting or cutting the frequency
ranges of the sound.
As Insertion effects, the SC-8850 provides 64 diverse kinds of effects, which allow
you to distort or modulate the sound, or even to combine multiple effects.
The System effects and Insertion effects differ not only in the type of effects, but also
in the output routing of the effect sound.
System Effects
Of the System effects, the reverb/chorus/delay effects take part of the sound from
each Part to create a new effected sound (reverberance, etc.), and then add this to the
original sound.
For these effects, you can specify the amount of the sound for each Part sent to the
effect unit (Send Level). Higher settings will increase the level of the signal that is
sent to the effect unit, causing the effect sound that is produced to be louder. The re-
sult is that the effect becomes deeper.
For the equalizer of System effects, on the other hand, you can select whether the
sound of the Part will pass through the equalizer or not; i.e., make an on/off setting
to modify the sound.
