FEEDBACK—This is a chorus with a flanger-like effect
and a soft sound.
FLANGER—This is an effect that sounds somewhat like a
jet airplane taking off and landing.
SHORT DELAY—This is a delay (echo effect) with a short
delay time.
SHORT DLY FBK—This is a short delay with many
repeats.
Press the [CHORUS¥LEVEL] field and set the desired
value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC]
buttons.
This parameter specifies the output level of the Cho-
rus processor. Setting this parameter to “0” means
that your no longer hear the effect in question. By
contrast, setting a CHORUS parameter on the mixer
page for Music Styles to “0” means that only the
selected instrument is no longer processed by the
effect, while the remaining instruments are.
Note: See “Mixing Song or Style parts” on p. 140 for details.
Press the [CHO¥REV¥SEND] field and set the desired
value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC]
buttons.
This parameter sets the amount of chorus sound that
is sent to the Reverb processor. The value “127”
effectively allows you to connect the Chorus and
Reverb effects in series (Chorus before Reverb). If you
do not want the chorus signal to be processed by the
reverb effect, set this value to “0”.
Press [Back] to return to the display page with the
“modules”.

Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
Using the multi-effects processors of the Style
and Song instruments
Your E-80 contains 3 multi-effects processors (A~C)
that can be used for processing at least three Style or
Song instruments (you can assign as many instruments
to each MFX as you like).
These effects are linked to the MAKEUP TOOLS environ-
ment (see p. 140), which explains why we are no longer
talking about “parts” but rather about “instruments”.
(1) Press the [EFFECTS] button once or twice to call up
the following page.
On this page, you can switch the REVERB, CHORUS
and/or three effects processors off by pressing the
[OFF/ON] button icon to the right of their “displays”.
(2) Press the [EDIT] button icon next to the “MFX A”,
“MFX B” or “MFX C” display, depending on which
MFX processor you wish to edit.
Selecting another MFX type and editing it
The E-80 provides 84 different Multi-FX types, some
of which are combinations of two effects for added
flexibility. Here is how to select another Multi-FX
type:
(3) Press the [ON] (or [OFF]) field to switch the proces-
sor on (icon lights) or off (icon goes dark).
You can also do so on the EFFECTS page (see above).
(4) Press the field below “MFX A~C” where the name
of the currently selected type is displayed.
(5) Select the desired type with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial
or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
The available types are:
To avoid confusion, we decided to explain the avail-
able parameters elsewhere. See page 252. Here’s how
to edit the parameters:
(6) Press the field of the parameter you wish to
change (the number of fields and their functions
depend on the selected type).
If the required parameter is not displayed, press the
PAGE fields to jump to another page. (Some effects
only have one parameter page.)
(7) Set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or
the [DEC]/[INC] buttons.
