Footswitch
The E-200/E-100’s FOOTSWITCH socket (rear panel) allows you
to connect optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch.
The footswitch can be used for sustaining the notes you are
playing (default), as Soft or Sostenuto pedal, to switch the
Rotary effect speed (MFX), and more. See “FSW° (Footswitch
Assign)” (p. 38) and “Using the outputs and an optional foot-
switch” (p. 51).
To use it for holding the notes you are playing, proceed as fol-
lows:
(1) Connect a DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch to the
FOOTSWITCH jack.
(2) Play a note with your right hand.
(3) Press the footswitch.
(4) Release the key.
The note(s) you played keep on sounding after you release
the corresponding keys.
(5) To stop the note(s) from sounding, release the footswitch.
Using effects
The E-200/E-100 contains digital Reverb and Chorus effects
processors. You can switch them on/off and select other types.
You can also set the Send level (the amount of Reverb or Cho-
rus) to be applied to the various Keyboard parts. Please bear in
mind that the Chorus effect cannot be combined with the MFX
(so you need to choose between Chorus or MFX for the Main
part).
Using the multi-effects processor (MFX)
The multi-effects (MFX) processor can be used for processing
the Main part. It can generate various effects (47), some of
which are combinations of two effects, while the Reverb and
Chorus processors only generate effects that are somehow
related to ambiance (REV) or modulation (CHR).
(1) Press the [FUNCTION] button (it must light).
(2) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select “EFFECTS”.
The E-200/E-100’s function parameters are divided into 9
logical “families”. For the following, we need to select the
effects group.
(3) Use SELECT [√][®] to select the “MFX” parameter.
Note: See also “Working with the FAMILY and SELECT buttons”
(p. 17).
The “Off” message means that the MFX is not being used.
(4) To switch on the MFX, select one of the remaining 47
types using the [NO/–]/[YES/+] buttons.
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 distortion
than Overdrive. The numbers refer to different kinds of dis-
tortion.
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. If you select this
type, you can use the MODULATION axis of the BENDER/
MODULATION lever for switching between the slow and fast
modulation speeds: press the lever towards the back of the
E-200/E-100 to alternate between slow and fast undula-
tions.
StFlangr: This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic res-
onance 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 cer-
tain 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.
