(4) Use the [√][®] buttons to select one of the following
parameters (depending on the Keyboard part you
wish to prepare a different MFX type for):
(5) Use the [+][–] buttons to select the desired MFX
type for the Upper (UPP), Layer (LAY) and/or Lower
(LOE) part.
Remember that the choice of a different MFX type is
only audible for the Keyboard part that is currently
assigned to the MFX (see above). Furthermore, the
part in question (if it is Lower or Layer) must be
switched on.
Also, please note that the MFX type of the Upper part
changes when you assign a different sound to that
part (so that a guitar sound uses a distortion effect,
an organ sound the rotary effect, etc.).
Off: The MFX is off.
Enhancer: An Enhancer controls the overtone structure
of the high frequencies, adding sparkle and tightness to
the sound.
Overdrv1~4: Overdrive creates a soft distortion similar
to that produced by tube amplifiers. Several types of
overdrive are available: (1) Small combo amp, (2) Combo
amp, (3) Large double-stack amp (2 cabinets), (4) Large
double-stack amp (3 cabinets).
Distort1~4: This effect produces a more intense distor-
tion than Overdrive. The numbers refer to different
kinds of distortion.
Phaser: Adds a phase-shifted sound to the original
sound, producing a twisting modulation that creates
spaciousness and depth.
AutoWah: The Auto Wah cyclically controls a filter to
create cyclic change in timbre.
Rotary: Simulates the sound of a classic rotary speaker.
This effect is most suitable for electric organ. By assign-
ing the “RotSlow/Fast” parameter to a pedal, you can
use that pedal to alternate between slow and fast
undulations.
StFlangr: This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic
resonance that rises and falls like a jet airplane taking
off or landing.
SpFlangr: A Step Flanger is a Flanger effect with clearly
noticeable steps rather than continuous pitch changes.
Compress: A compressor reduces signal peaks and
boosts low levels, smoothing out unevenness in volume.
Limiter: A limiter prevents the volume from exceeding
a certain level without boosting low levels.
HexaCho: Hexa Chorus uses six layers of chorused
sound to give richness and spatial spread to the sound.
Trem Cho: Tremolo Chorus is a chorus effect with
added Tremolo (cyclic modulation of the volume).
StChorus: This is a stereo chorus.
Space-D: A multiple chorus that gives no impression of
modulation, but produces a transparent chorus effect
(the perfect “stereo maker”).
StDelay: Delay is an effect that allows you repeat the
input signal, thus creating echoes (repetition).
Mod Dly: This effect adds modulation to the delayed
sound, producing an effect similar to a flanger.
3Tap Dly: The Triple Tap Delay produces three delay
sounds; center, left and right.
4Tap Dly: Delay with four repetition lines.
TmCtrDly: This effect controls the delay time in real-
time.
Reverb: A nice Reverb effect.
GteRevNr: Gate Reverb is a special type of reverb in
which the reverberant sound is suddenly cut off (and
does not gradually decrease).
GteRevRv: A gated Reverb effect that sounds “back-
wards”.
GteRevS1: The reverberant sound moves from right to
left.
GteRevS2: The reverberant sound moves from left to
right.
2PtchShf: A Pitch Shifter changes the pitch of the orig-
inal sound. This 2-voice effect has two pitch shifters,
and adds two transposed copies to the original sound.
FbPtchShf: Pitch Shifter with several echoes.
OD®Chors: This effect connects an overdrive and a
chorus in series. (“Series” means that the first effect is
also processed by the second.)
OD®Flger: Connects an overdrive and a flanger in
series.
OD®Delay: Connects an overdrive and a delay in
series.
DS®Chors: Connects distortion and a chorus in series.
DS®Flger: Connects distortion and a flanger in series.
DS®Delay: Connects distortion and a delay in series.
EH®Chors: Connects an enhancer and a chorus in
series.
EH®Flger: Connects an enhancer and a flanger in
series.
EH®Delay: Connects an enhancer and a delay in series.
Cho®Dly: Connects a chorus and a delay in series.
FL®Delay: Connects a flanger and a delay in series.
Cho®Flgr: Connects a chorus and a flanger in series.
Cho/Dly: Connects a chorus and a delay in parallel.
(“Parallel” means that the input signal is processed by
two effects that do not interact.)
FL/Delay: Connects a flanger and a delay in parallel.
Cho/Flgr: Connects a chorus and a flanger in parallel.
Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 48).
Note: MFX type selection is linked to sound selection for
the Upper part. That explains why the type you assign to
the Upper part (UPP) may change automatically. Note that
this does not apply to all sounds.
(6) While selecting an MFX type, play a few notes on
the keyboard to audition the effect.
(7) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function.
