About the SY99: pan, effects, and output

Each of the one, two, or four elements in a voice has two independent digital filters, and is sent through its
own pan table. The SY99 also has two built-in digital signal processing (DSP) effect systems which can be
controlled in realtime, and effect settings are stored as part of each voice.

Each element in a normal voice is sent through a dynamic pan table (64 preset
and 32 user pan tables are provided) that determines how the sound will move
between the left and right outputs. Each pan table has its own EG, and also
allows you to select a pan source (velocity, key note number, or LFO). Another
controller can be assigned to further bias the panning movement.
Each of the 76 notes in a drum voice can be panned to a fixed position.
The SY99 contains two high quality DSP effect units. Each effect unit can pro-
duce 63 different effects, including reverb, delay, tone control, distortion, rotary
speaker, and ring modulator.
Effect types 1-29 are single effects, in which the effect unit creates only one
effect. Effect types 29-51 are cascade type effects, in which the effect unit func-
tions as two independent units connected in series. Effect types 52-63 are dual
type effects, in which the effect unit functions as two independent units con-
nected in parallel.
Each effect type has up to 10 parameters which you can adjust.
Effect type = 30-51 (cascade type)

Effect type = 52-63 (dual type)
