Chapter 4 Using the XV-5050 Effects

This chapter explains how effects are applied in Patch/Rhythm Set
mode or Performance mode.
For information about the application of effects in GM mode,
refer to "Making Effects Settings in GM Mode (EFFECTS)" (p.
112).
Effect Types
The XV-5050 has the following four onboard effect processors, and
settings can be made independently for each.
MFX (Multi-Effects)
The Multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely change
the sound type by changing the sound itself. Contained are 90
different effects types; select and use the type that suits your aims. In
addition to effects types composed of simple effects such as
Distortion, Flanger, and other such effects, you can also set up a
wide variety of other effects, even connecting effects in series or in
parallel. Furthermore, while chorus and reverb can be found among
the Multi-effects types, the following chorus and reverb are handled
with a different system.
In GM mode, you cannot use Multi-effects.
Chorus
Chorus adds fatness and breadth to the sound. You can select
whether to use this as a chorus effect or a delay effect.
A GM-exclusive Chorus can be used in GM mode.
Reverb
Reverb adds an ambience to sounds so they seem to be playing in an
actual physical space. Five different types are offered, so you can
select and use the type that suits your purpose.
A GM-exclusive Reverb is used in GM mode.
EQ (Equalizer)
Equalizer boosts or cuts specific frequencies within a sound to adjust
the tone.
* Equalizer is set in System mode (p. 109).

Turning Effects On/Off

The XV-5050's onboard effects can be turned on/off as a whole.

sound as you create a sound, or when you wish to use external
effects processors instead of the built-in effects.
