ASSIGNING EFFECTS TO INDIVIDUAL KEYGROUPS

It is also possible to send individual keygroups in a program to the effects. This is of particular
use in drums and percussion programs. This is done in EDIT SINGLE or EDIT MULTI. Pressing
GROUP DOWN five/two times respectively and then PAGE DOWN four times, you will see this
page:
The BUS and SEND parameters allow you to send individual keygroups to the effects by
overriding the main program's effects routing. The default will be PRG (i.e. the routing is using
the program's effects buss selection) but you may also select OFF (i.e. the selected keygroup
is not routed to the effects), FX1, FX2, RV3 or RV4. The FX parameter allows you to set the
amount of effect for each keygroup. In this way, you can, for example, send individual drums in
different amounts to the effects. Furthermore, each drum could be routed to a different effect
(i.e. bass drum to a tight gated reverb, snare to a large hall, toms to a medium hall, etc.).
Select the keygroup in the KG field (or press and hold the EDIT key and play the appropriate
note) and route that keygroup as appropriate and set a suitable SEND level.
The effects you wish to have assigned to those keygroups are selected in the SINGLE mode
(i.e. when in SINGLE mode, press EFFECTS).
