In Program, Combination, and Sequencer modes, the P8–
Insert FX Setup page lets you set Pan: CC#8 (post-IFX
panning), Bus (Bus Select), Ctrl Bus (FX control bus), AUX
Bus, and Send1 and Send2 levels to the master effects.
If you have checked the Chain to connect the Insert Effects
in series, these parameters Pan: CC#8 – Send2 for the post-
IFX (last Insert Effect in the chain) signal become effective.
Pan: CC#8
This parameter enables you to set the pan of the post-IFX
signal.
If you are using the stereo-in/stereo-out Insert Effects, set
this parameter to "C064" to enable the Pan settings for the
oscillators (Prog 4–1c, 4–5), timbres (Combi 0–3(4)b), tracks
(Seq 0–1–3(4)a), and audio inputs (each mode P0).
If you are using mono-in/stereo–out or mono-in/mono–out
Insert Effects, the Pan settings for the oscillators, timbres,
tracks and audio inputs are ignored, and they are set to
Center. Use the Pan: CC#8 parameter (Prog 8–2a, Combi/
Seq 8–1–3b) to set the pan. "L000" is hard left, and "R127" is
hard right.
• For more about effect types such as stereo-in/stereo-out,
see "In/Out" on page 426.
You can control these parameters via CC#8.
Bus (Bus Select)
This parameter enables you to specify the destination bus
for the post-IFX signals.
"L/R" is a common setting to send signals to the Total Effect
(TFX) before they are routed to the OUTPUT (MAIN) L/
MONO and R outputs.
Select 1...4 or 1/2, 3/4 to route the signals to OUTPUT
(INDIVIDUAL) 1–4 ("Individual Outputs"). If this is set to
1–4, the output will be monaural. If set to 1/2, 3/4, the Pan: #

(Prog/Sampling 8–2a, Combi/Seq 8–1–3b) settings will be
valid, and the output will be stereo. If set to Off, the signal
will not be sent to the L/R bus or buses 1–4. Choose this
setting if you want to use the Send1 or Send2 levels to route
the signal through a master effect in series (i.e., not as a send
effect).
Ctrl Bus (FX Control Bus)
This specifies the FX Control bus that follows the insert
effect. The FX Control buses (FX Control 1, 2) are mono two-
channel buses.
The M3 provides two (mono two-channel) effect control
buses, giving you a wide range of ways to control effects.
FX Control buses can be used with vocoder, limiter, and
gate-type effects.
For details on the effects that be used with FX Control buses,
see "FX Control Buses" on page 423.
As an example, here's how you can use the FX Control bus
following an insert effect.
Example: Gated Reverb
When using a gate effect with reverberant sound, using the
reverberant sound to control the gate may not produce the
desired results because the reverb extends the duration of
the sound. Normally, you will use the un-reverberated
sound to control the gate, as shown in the diagram below.
In this example, we send the sound from the OSC etc. to
IFX1 and process it through an equalizer. IFX1 is sent via
Chain to IFX2 and also sent via "Ctrl Bus" (FX Control Bus)
to 1. The Envelope Source of IFX3: Stereo Gate is set to FX
Control 1. This allows the gat to be triggered by a signal
other than its input (the reverberant sound).

OSC1&2
: IFX1
Timbre/Track 007: St.Graphic
Audio Inputs 7EQ
AUX Bus
After passing through the insert effects, the audio signal is
sent to the AUX bus.
The AUX bus is used for sampling in each mode. If you're
not using it for sampling, turn it Off.
Send1, Send2
These parameters enable you to set the send level of the
signals routed to Master Effects MFX1 and MFX2. The signal
is sent in stereo to master effects MFX1 and MFX2. This is
valid when Bus (Bus Select) is L/R or Off.
