Using the SMF compressor and SMF
equalizer
The JM-5 contains two effect processors that allow you
to change the sound of SMF songs (WAV and mp3 files
cannot be processed in this way).
Although they are not meant to be changed for every
song you intend to play back, switching settings is rela-
tively easy and could therefore be used to great effect.
NOTE
These parameters also affect the External Tone Parts (page 59).
SMF Compressor
The multi-band compressor/limiter allows you to pro-
cess three frequency ranges separately. A compressor
reduces high levels (peaks) and boosts low levels,
smoothing out fluctuations in volume.
