The CS1x features three independent digital effects units, Reverb, Chorus and Variation, which can be applied to the
voices in a variety of ways to provide a wide range of sound processing capabilities.
In Performance mode you can choose the Reverb, Chorus and Variation effect types, as well as set additional
parameters for the Variation effect. In Multi Play mode, system exclusive (MIDI) data programmed in a song sequence
(of an external sequencer or computer) can change the various CS1x effect parameters at specific points in the song to
greatly enhance the sound and impact of the playback.
Type 1: Reverb
Reverb recreates the sounds of various environments by adding room
ambiance through delays or reflections. There are 11 Reverb types to
choose from. (See page 49.)
Type 2: Chorus
Chorus creates a variety of rich, spacious-sounding effects which are
especially dramatic in stereo. There are 11 Chorus effect types, including
Chorus and Flanger. (See page 49.)
Type 3: Variation
Variation is a special section of various effects including Reverb and
Chorus, plus many others not found in the other sections, such as
Distortion, Wah, and Auto Pan. There are 43 Variation effect types. (See
page 49.)
System and Insertion Effects
The CS1x effects sections can be designated as either System or Insertion
effects. Reverb and Chorus are always System effects, which means they
can be applied to any or all Parts. The Variation effect can also be a
System effect, or it can be designated as an Insertion effect, which means
it can be dedicated to a specific Part.
Basically, CS1x System and Insertion effects work the same way as in a
sound mixer, as shown in the diagram at right. For example, System
effects can be applied to musical instruments (i.e., Parts) which are
connected to the various mixer channels; the amount of each System
effect is determined by channel "send" and system "return" level controls.
An Insertion effect can be connected ("inserted") into the signal flow of a
specific channel in order to process the sound of that instrument (i.e.,
Layer/Part) only.
With the CS1x, in Performance mode the Insertion effect (Variation) can be
applied to one or more of the four Layers, while in Multi Play mode it can
only be applied to a single Part.
The System and Insertion effect configurations can be controlled in detail
by XG song data (signified by the XG mark) when the CS1x is in Multi Play
mode.

Performance Mode
The diagram below shows the signal flow of the three effects when the
CS1x is in Performance mode. In this case the Variation effect is fixed as
the Insertion effect.
The Variation Send On/Off switch ! determines which Layers the
Variation effect is applied to. The Performance Layer Edit 4 menu EFFECT
VARI SEND parameter turns the Variation effect ON/OFF for each Layer
(see page 34).
The Variation effect wet/dry balance " determines the ratio of effected
(wet) signal to original (dry) signal. The resulting Variation effect signal is
then sent to the Reverb effect via the Reverb send control #, and to the
Chorus effect via the Chorus send control $; the Send Chorus To Reverb
signal % can be controlled by the ASSIGN 1 knob. The Performance Layer
Edit 4 menu EFFECT REV SEND & and CHO SEND ' parameters determine
the respective Reverb and Chorus send levels applied to each Layer (see
page 34). Layers which are switched off !, as well as Parts 5~16, can still
have System Reverb and Chorus effects applied to them.
