Using Effects

Using effects in Sampling mode

In Sampling mode, you can apply effects to external audio
sources from the AUDIO INPUT 1–2 and S/P DIF IN jacks,
and sample the result. You can also apply effects to the audio
from a USB audio CD, and sample the result. It's also
possible to apply effects to a multisample and resample the
result.
Routing an external input
1. Go to the Sampling P0: Recording– Audio Input page.
2. Use Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) to specify the bus to which
each audio input will be sent.
For example if you want the signal from a device
connected to AUDIO INPUT 1 to be input to insert effect
1, set the INPUT 1 Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) to IFX1.
3. Use Send1 and Send2 to specify the send level of each
timbre to the master effects.
This can be set only if Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) is set to
L/R or Off.
If Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) is set to IFX1–12, the send
levels to the master effects are set by Send1 and Send2
(Insert FX page) following the insert effects.
4. Set PLAY/MUTE and Solo On/Off as desired. You can
use the control surface to make these settings.
5. Use Pan to set the panning of the audio input.
If you're inputting a stereo audio source, you will
normally set the inputs to L000 and R127 respectively.
6. Use Level to adjust the level of the audio input.
Normally you will leave this at 127.
7. FX Control Bus sends the output of the timbre to an
FX Control bus.
The FX Control Buses lets you create effects
"sidechains." Sidechains let you control an effect with
one audio signal (the sidechain), while the effect
processes a completely different audio signal. This is
convenient for use with vocoders, compressors and
limiters, gates, etc. For more information, see "FX
Control Buses" on page 862 of the Parameter Guide.
8. REC Bus sends the audio input to a REC bus.
By selecting a REC bus as the "Source Bus," you can
sample the signal that's being sent to the REC bus.
Normally when sampling in this mode, you will turn this
Off, since the Source Bus will be set to L and R.

Insert effects
1. Go to the Insert FX page.
2. Choose the insert effect that you want to use on the
audio input.
Press the popup button, and choose an effect from the
nine categories.
3. Press the On/Off button to turn on the insert effect.
Each time you press the button, the insert effect will be
switched on/off. When Off, the result will be the same as
when 000: No Effect is selected. The input sound will be
output without change.
4. Make Chain settings.
If the Chain check box is checked, the insert effect will
be connected in series.
5. Make settings for Pan (CC#8), "Bus Sel. (Bus Select),"
"Send 1," "Send 2," REC Bus and "Ctrl Bus" for the
sound after it has passed through the insert effects.
If effects are chained, the settings that follow the last IFX
are valid (except for "Ctrl Bus").
Pan: Sets the pan.
Bus Sel. (Bus Select): Specifies the output destination.
Normally you will set this to L/R. If you wish to send the
sound that has passed through the insert effects to
AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL) 1–4, select 1–4, 1/2,
or 3/4.
Send 1, Send 2: Sets the send levels to the master effects.
For this example, set this to 127.
Ctrl Bus: The signal processed by the insert effect will
be sent to the FX Control bus. Use this if you want to use
another sound to control the audio being input to an
effect. You can use the two FX Control buses to control
effects freely.
For more information, see "FX Control Buses" on
page 862 of the Parameter Guide.
REC Bus: The sound processed by the insert effect will
be sent to the REC bus. In the P0– Audio Input page, you
can set the Sampling Setup Source Bus to a REC bus,
and sample the signal that is sent to the REC bus.
Normally you will sample with Source Bus set to L/R
and REC Bus turned Off. However by using the REC
bus, the direct sound of the audio input and the sound
