Using Effects

Effect I/O

Insert effects
Insert Effects (IFX 1–12) are stereo-in/stereo-out. If you set
Wet/Dry to Dry, the input signal will pass through without
being processed by the effect. If you set Wet/Dry to Wet, the
processed signal will be output in one of the following ways:
Mono In - Mono Out
W et Mono In - Stereo Out
Stereo In - Stereo Out
Master Effects
The I/Os of Master Effects MFX1 and MFX2 are stereo-
in/stereo-out. Send1 and Send2 determine the send level to
the Master Effects.
Master effects will not output the Dry (unprocessed) signal
specified in Wet/Dry. 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 Select (P8:
"Routing" page in each mode) L/R, or with the output
signals from the bus specified by Bus Select ("Insert FX"
page in each mode) L/R, then routed to the total effect.

Effects in each mode

Program mode
For HD-1 Programs, you can use insert effects to process the
final sound in the same way that you use the Filter, Driver,
Amplifier, and EQ (equalizer) to process the sound from the
oscillators (OSC 1 & 2). Then the master effects are used to

EQ
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 001–197.

Total Effects
The total effects TFX1 and TFX2 are stereo-in/stereo-out.
The Dry (unprocessed) side of the Wet/Dry parameter sends
the stereo input sound directly to the stereo output. The way
in which the Wet (processed) side is output depends on the
type of effect, as follows.
Mono In - Mono Out
W et Mono In - Stereo Out
Stereo In - Stereo Out
Note: The Parameter Guide includes block diagrams for
each individual effect, which include the effect's
input/output structure.
Set List EQ
Set Lists have an additional effects slot not available in the
other modes: a dedicated nine-band graphic EQ applied to
the sound after TFX2, which tailors the sound from the main
stereo outputs (including the analog L/R outputs, S/P DIF,
and USB).
For more information, see "Graphic EQ" on page 127.
create overall ambience such as reverb, and use the total
effects to make final adjustments. All of these settings can be
made independently for each Program.
EXi Programs may have a different filter and amp structure
for each type, but you can also apply insert effects, master
effects, and total effects to EXi 1 & 2, just as for OSC 1 & 2
