The effects can be used to change the sound of a Voice or Performance. There are two Insertion
Effect Units plus a Reverb Unit (with 12 types of reverb) and a Chorus Unit (with 23 types of
chorus). Each of the Insertion Effect units offers a variety of effects, and the units themselves can be
connected in parallel or in series.
In Voice/Performance Mode, different Effects settings can be assigned to each Voice/Performance,
though the way they are connected (series or parallel) varies slightly. As shown in the following
illustration, the two Insertion Effect units can be independently switched on or off for each Element
in a Voice. So basically, the Insertion Effects can be set on a per Element basis. After being passed
through the Insertion Effects, the signals from all individual Elements are mixed and sent to the
Reverb and Chorus Units. These Reverb and Chorus Units apply effects to the sound as a whole
before it is sent to the outputs, and are therefore known as System Effects.
In Performance Mode, the Insertion Effects can be set for two Parts: a Voice Part, plus a Plug-in Part.
However, the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are not applied to Parts, but to the Performance as a
whole.
Details about Effects are given on Page 50.
