Variation (Var) - Yamaha MU128 Owner's Manual

Variation (VAR)

The Variation section provides a wealth of additional effects for processing
the Voices of the MU128. It features some of the same effects found in the
Reverb, Chorus and Insertion sections. This is not mere redundancy; it al-
lows you to use two types of Reverb, Chorus or other effects on different
Voices. For example, you may want to have the Flanger effect on one Voice
and Phaser on another. Variation also gives you many special effects not
found in the other sections, such as Delay, Gate Reverb, Wah and Pitch
Change.
The Variation section of effects can be applied either to a single selected
Part or to all Parts, depending on the connection setting: Insertion or Sys-
tem. (See About the Effect Connections — System and Insertion on page
152 for more information.)
Explanations of the Variation Type and other common parameters are given
below. For specific descriptions of Variation Types and explanations for all
other Variation parameters, refer to the separate SOUND LIST & MIDI

NOTE
When NO EFFECT or THRU is selected for
the Type, no Variation effect is applied, and
only the common parameters shown below
are available (with the exception of Dry/Wet).
The NO EFFECT setting cancels the Variation
effect. When the Variation Connection is set
to SYS (System), the sound can be heard with
no effect. When the Variation Connection is
set to INS (Insertion), no sound is output for
the Part.
