Master Effects (MFX1, 2)

In/Out

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. (For Send1 and 2, see "Routing" and
"Mixer.")
Master effects will not output the Dry (unprocessed) signal
specified in Wet/Dry (P9: MFX/TFX/LFO– MFX1, 2 page).
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 (P8: Routing/IFX– Routing page in
each mode) L/R, or with the output signals from the bus
specified by Bus (IFX/Output) Select ("Insert FX Setup"
page in each mode) L/R, then routed to the Master 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 001–193.
Mono In - Mono Out
Wet Mono In - Stereo Out
Stereo In - Stereo Out
Mono–Mono Parallel
127: P4EQ//P4EQ–171: BPM Dl//BPM Dl
Mono In/Out Effect
Mono In/Out Effect
These effects are typically stereo‐in/stereo‐out, but they have
a special structure. The L channel and R channel of the
stereo input each have their own independent mono effect.
Each mono output can then be panned to the desired
position in the stereo field. Normally, you will use these as
insert effects, but you can also use them as master effects.
For details, see "Mono–Mono Parallel Effects" on page 240.
Input/output variations for each effect are shown in upper
left of the block diagrams starting on page 320.
Pressing the On/Off button for MFX1 and 2 of the P9: MFX/
TFX/LFO–Routing page in each mode will toggle between
On and Off. When Off is selected, the output signals will be
muted.

Separately from the setting of this On/Off button, MFX1
and MFX2 can be switched off by receiving a MIDI
control change CC#94. Value 0 will turn them off, and
value 1–127 will turn them on. You can also use the
front panel MFX button or Effect Global SW (Global 0–
1b) to turn MFX1 and 2 on and off. This MIDI control is
performed on the global MIDI channel (Global 1–1a).
Double-size effects
Double‐size effects (172: St.Mltband Limiter – 193: Early
Reflections) use twice as much space as other effects.
You can use a double‐size effect for master effect MFX1. If
you've selected a double‐size effect, MFX2 won't be
available for use.

Routing

If you are not using any Insert Effects in any mode, the
Master Effects send levels are determined by the Send1 (to
MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2) parameters specified
independently for the oscillators (Program mode), timbres
(Combination mode), tracks (Sequencer mode).
For example, since you can adjust the master effect send
levels for each timbre/track, you can make settings so that
reverb is applied deeply to the piano, lightly to the strings,
and not at all to the bass.
If you're using insert effects, use the post‐IFX Send1 and
Send2 to adjust the send amounts.
Program mode
Use the Send1 (to MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2) parameters
of the P8: Routing/IFX– Routing page, or the Send1 and
Send2 parameters of the P8: Routing/IFX– Insert FX Setup
page for the post‐IFX1–5 signals, to set the Master Effect
send level.
If you have set Bus (IFX/Output) Select to L/R or Off, Send1
(to MFX1) and Send2 (to MFX2) of the "Routing" page are
effective. These parameters can be set for oscillators 1 and 2
individually.
If you have set Bus (IFX/Output) Select to IFX1–5, Send1
and Send2 of the "Insert FX" page for the post‐P8: Routing/
IFX– IFX1–5 signals are effective. If you are using the Insert
Effects in chain (series), the Send1 and Send2 parameters
for the post‐IFX (last IFX) are effective.
Send1 responds to CC#93 and Send2 responds to CC#91
on the global MIDI channel (Global 1–1a). At this time,
the actual send level uses the value of the Send 1 and 2
settings for Oscillators 1 and 2, multiplied by the Send 1
and 2 values received via MIDI.
If you have selected "Drums" for Oscillator Mode (Prog 1–
1a) of a Program, the Use DKit Setting box (Prog 8–1b)
