Using Effects

Effects in each mode

Program mode
For programs, you can use insert effects to process the
final sound in the same way that you use the Filter and
Amplifier to process the sound from the oscillators
(OSC 1 & 2). Next, the master effects are used to create
overall ambience such as reverb, and you use the total
effect to make final adjustments.
Combination and Sequencer modes
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can insert
effects to process the sound of each timbre/track
program. Then you can use the master effects to create
overall ambience, and use the total effect to make final
adjustments.
In Combination mode, you can adjust these settings for
each combination, and in Sequencer mode you can
adjust them for each song.
In Sequencer mode, you can switch between effects or
modify the effect parameters and record these
changes, so that effects will switch automatically or
effect parameters will be modified automatically as the
song plays back.

Routing and effect
settings
The insert effects, master effects, and total effect that
are available in each mode have the same structure,
but the routing settings will determine how the
program's oscillators, the combination's timbres, or the
song's tracks will be sent to each of the insert effects,
master effects, and total effects. Here we'll explain
how to adjust routing settings in each mode, and how
to edit the effect settings.

Effect settings for a program

Routing
1. Access the PROG EDIT: FX Routing "Bus"
parameter.
2. "Bus" specifies the bus where the output from the
oscillators will be sent. Here we'll choose IFX1 so
that the output of the oscillators will be sent to
insert effect 1.
L/R: The oscillator output will not be sent to an
insert effect. It will pass through the total effect, and
then be sent to OUTPUT L/MONO and R.
IFX1–IFX5: The oscillator output will be sent to
insert effect 1–5.
Off: The oscillator output will not be sent to
OUTPUT L/MONO or R, or to insert effects 1–5.
(Choose this if you want to connect the oscillator
output to the master effects in series, at the send
levels specified by "OSC1 Send1," "OSC1 Send2,"
"OSC2 Send1," and "OSC2 Send 2.")
