8.6 VariPhrase and Audio In
effects
The VariPhrase and Audio In parts are two separate
entities, which is why they do not share the same
effects processors as the Keyboard and Arranger/Style
parts. The advantage is that your “virtual” (Vari-
Phrase) and “actual” (Audio In) vocals can be pro-
cessed with just the right effect settings, regardless of
how you set the “other” effects processors.
Consequently: even though a slider appears side
by side with the [M.Drums], [Upper2] and [Upper1]
sliders (see the illustration), and even though you can
set the Reverb Send and Chorus Send levels along with
those of the other Keyboard parts, their settings bear
in fact on different processors.
See page 57 for the Send sliders of the Audio In part.
Here’s how to select the desired Reverb and Chorus
effects for the VariPhrase and Audio In parts. There
are no parameters you can set. The Audio In part pro-
vides an [ON/OFF] field for quickly activating and
switching off both effects. This can also be done with a
footswitch, see page 192, or an optional FC-7. The lat-
ter also applies to the VariPhrase part.
1.
Select a Mixer page (see page 112).
2.
Press the [ EFFECT] field.
3.
Press the [Reverb] or the [Chorus] field, depending
on whether you wish to select another effect type for
the Reverb or the Chorus effect.
4.
Select an effect type by pressing the desired field:
VariPhrase/Audio In Reverb types:
Room 1~3, Hall 1~3— See page 118.
Garage— Simulates the Reverb of a relatively small,
but “live” space (with many reflections).
Plate— Simulates the Reverb of a mechanic device (a
metal plate) that was very popular a few years ago for
simulating Reverb. Digital simulations of these char-
acteristics are still widely used for vocals.
No Linear— A deliberately “unnatural” Reverb effect
that may be just what you need in a given situation.
VariPhrase/Audio In Chorus types
Chorus 1~4— See page 118. The difference between
these four lies in the speed of the undulations and the
depth of the effect.
Fb Chorus— This Chorus effect is already reminis-
cent of a Flanger and creates a soft sound.
Flanger— This effect is similar to the sound evolution
of a jet plane taking off and landing.
Short Delay, Fb Delay— See “S Delay” and “S Delay
FB” on page 118.
