MFX
fig.14-07_50
Select (Multi-Effects Select)
Of the three types of multi-effects that can be used simultaneously,
select the multi-effects for which you want to make settings.
Value: MFX-A–MFX-C
This parameter is not available when a patch or rhythm set is
being selected.
Type (Multi-Effects Type)
Use this parameter to select from among the 90 available multi-
effects. For details on multi-effects parameters, refer to “Multi-
Effects Parameters” (Sound/Parameter List).
Value: 00 THROUGH–90 3D MANUAL
In this setting screen, you can edit the parameters of the multi-effects
that is selected by the Multi-effects Type setting. For details on the
parameters that can be edited, refer to “Multi-Effects Parameters”
(Sound/Parameter List).
MFX Control
fig.14-08_50
Source 1–4 (Multi-Effects Control Source 1–4)
Sets the MIDI message used to change the multi-effects parameter
with the multi-effects control.
Value
OFF: Multi-effects control will not be used.
CC01–31, 33–95: Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95
For more information about Control Change messages, please
refer to “MIDI Implementation” (Sound/Parameter List).
PITCH BEND: Pitch Bend
AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch
SYS CTRL1–SYS CTRL4: MIDI messages used as common multi-
effects controls.
If you want to use common controllers for the entire Fantom,
select “SYS CTRL 1”–”SYS CTRL 4.” MIDI messages used as
System Control 1–4 are set with the Sys Ctrl 1–4 Source
parameters (SYSTEM/Control) (p. 184).
Multi-Effects Control
If you wanted to change the volume of multi-effects sounds, the
delay time of Delay, and the like, using an external MIDI device,
you would need to send System Exclusive messages-MIDI
messages designed exclusively for the Fantom. However,
System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the
amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the Fantom’s
multi-effects parameters have been designed so they accept the
use of Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the
purpose of making changes in their values. For example, you
can use the Pitch Bend lever to change the amount of distortion,
or use the keyboard’s touch to change the delay time of Delay.
The parameters that can be changed are predetermined for each
type of multi-effect; among the parameters described in “Multi-
Effects Parameters” (Sound/Parameter List), these are
indicated by a “#.”
The function that allows you use MIDI messages to make these
changes in realtime to the multi-effects parameters is called the
Multi-effects Control. Up to four multi-effects controls can be
used in a single patch/rhythm set/multitimbre/performance.
When the multi-effects control is used, you can select the
amount of control (Sens parameter) applied, the parameter
selected (Destination parameter), and the MIDI message used
(Source parameter).
By using the Matrix Control instead of the Multi-effects
Control, you can also change the parameters of some
popular multi-effects in realtime (p. 55).
