Master Effects - Korg microSTATION Operation Manual

Using Effects
Double-size effects
Double‐size effects (D00: St.MltLmt–D13: Early Ref)
use twice as much processing area as other effects.
D00: St.MltLmt–D10: Rotary OD can be used with
insert effect 1, D00: St.MltLmt–D09: Vocoder can be
used with insert effects 2–4, and D00: St.MltLmt–D13:
Early Ref can be used with master effect 1.
When you use a double‐size effect, the next‐numbered
effect will be unavailable. For example if you've
selected a double‐size effect for IFX1, you won't be able
to use IFX2. If you've selected a double‐size effect for
MFX1, you won't be able to use MFX2.

Master effects

1. "Send1" and "Send2" settings (steps 3 or 9)
determine the input level to the master effects. If
"Send1" and "Send2" are set to 0, nothing will be
input to the master effects. "Send1" corresponds
to MFX1, and "Send2" corresponds to MFX2.
Let's adjust settings for master effect 1.
2. Access PROG EDIT: MFX1, and press the 
button.
The first page of MFX1 is the master effect 1
selection screen ("MFX1 Select").
Press the  button once again, and then use the
 buttons to select the effect type for master
effect 1.
The procedure is the same as for the insert effects
(step 5).
Note: Double‐size effects can be selected only for
MFX1 (p. 48 "Double‐size effects").
If you press the  button to enter the page at right,
you'll see the parameters for the selected master
effect (step 5).
3. Specify the master effect 1 on/off setting and
return level.
Use "On/Off" to turn on master effect 1.
If it is Off, the output of the master effect will be
muted.
Use "Return1" to adjust the output level of master
effect 1.
Note: For each effect's "Wet/Dry" setting, the Wet
value is the output level of that effect. This value is
multiplied by the return setting (with "Return" =
127 as x1.0) to determine the actual output level of
the master effect.
Note: The output level of master effect 2 is adjusted
by PROG EDIT: MFX2 "Return2."

4. Turn "Chain" On.
When "Chain" is On, master effects 1 and 2 will be
series‐connected in the order of MFX1  MFX2.
You cannot change the order of connection .
The order is fixed as MFX1  MFX2.
"ChainLevel" specifies the level from master effect
1 to master effect 2.
5. Use the pages located at the right of PROG EDIT:
MFX1 "MFX1 Select" to edit the parameters of
master effect 1.
For details on the parameters of each effect, please
refer to PG p. 219 and following.
Total effect
1. The signal will be input to the total effect if you
use "Bus" to set the oscillator output to L/R, or if
you set the "Bus" following the insert effect to L/
R.
The output from each master effect is input to the
total effect via the PROG EDIT: MFX1 and 2
"Return1" and "Return2" settings.
After passing through the total effect, the signal is
output from OUTPUT L/MONO and R.
2. Access PROG EDIT: TFX, and press the  button.
The first page of TFX is the total effect selection
screen ("TFX Select").
Press the  button once again, and then use the
 buttons to select an effect type for the total
effect.
You can't use double‐size effects with the total effect
(p. 48 "Double‐size effects").
If you press the  button to enter the page at right,
you'll see the parameters for the selected total effect
(step 4).
3. Use On/Off to turn the total effect On.
If it is Off, the result will be the same as if 000: No
Effect is selected; the input signal will be output
without change.
