An overview of the microSTATION's effects
You can choose from 134 different types of high‐
quality digital effects. The microSTATION provides
five insert effects, two master effects, and one total
effect, together with a mixer section that controls the
routing of these effects. All of these are stereo in/out.
Specific parameters of these effects can also be
controlled in real time from the microSTATION's
controllers or via MIDI messages using Dynamic
Modulation (Dmod), by MIDI/Tempo Sync, or by
using a common LFO to apply synchronized changes
to multiple modulation effects.

Effect I/O

Insert Effects
Insert Effects (IFX 1–5) are stereo‐in/stereo‐out. If you
select Dry (unprocessed) for the "Wet/Dry" parameter,
the stereo input signal will be output in stereo without
being processed by the effect. If you select Wet (effect
applied), the processed signal will be output in one of
the following ways:
Mono In - Mono Out
Mono In - Stereo Out
Wet
Stereo In - Stereo Out
Insert effect 1 can use the effects S01: St.Comp–S63:
Rotary SP and D00: St.MltLmt–D10: Rotary OD.
Insert effects 2–4 can use the effects S01: St.Comp–S61:
Amp‐Trml and D00: St.MltLmt–D09: Vocoder.
Insert effect 5 can use the effects S01: St.Comp–S61:
Amp‐Trml.

Using Effects

Master Effects
Master Effects MFX1 and MFX2 are stereo‐in/stereo‐
out. "Send1" and "Send2" determine the send level to
the Master Effects.
With Master effects, only the Wet (processed) signal
will be output. The output signals from the Master
Effects are routed to the L/R bus with the output level
specified by "Return1" and "Return2". These output
signals are mixed with the output signals from the bus
specified by "Bus" L/R, then routed to the total effect.
Selecting "000: No Effect" will mute the output. The
processed signal will be output in one of the following
ways, according to the type of effects.
Master effect 1 can use the effects S01: St.Comp–S87:
Phsr‐Flng and D00: St.MltLmt–D13: Early Ref.
Master effect 2 can use the effects S01: St.Comp–S120:
Rev‐Gate.

The total effect (TFX) is stereo‐in/stereo‐out. The Dry
Effect
(unprocessed) side of the "Wet/Dry" parameter sends
Effect
the stereo input sound directly to the stereo output.
The way that the Wet (processed) side is output
depends on the type of effect, as follows.
Total effects can use the effects 01: St.Comp–61: Amp‐
Trml.
Note: The Parameter Guide includes block diagrams
for each individual effect, which include the effect's
input/output structure. (PG p. 219–)
