Assigning effects to Sound Pads

Mic input sounds can be changed by effects assigned to Sound Pads.
As an example, here we explain the procedure to add a sound that uses
the voice changer effect function to Pad 1 of Bank 1.
1. Load an SD card.
2. Turn on the Voice Changer function on the mic Effect Setting
Screen, and adjust the sound to the desired effect.
This effect will be applied when the pad is pressed.
(See "Adjusting mic input effects (Effect Setting)" on page 15.)

Bank 1.
