Applying Distortion To A Part - Using The Variation Effects - Yamaha MU128 Owner's Manual

Effects
Applying Distortion to a Part —
The Variation effect section provides a wealth of additional effects. With a total
of 70 different Types, it features some of the same effects found in the Reverb,
Chorus and Insertion sections. This is not mere redundancy; it allows you to use
two Types of Reverb or Chorus on different Voices. For example, you may want
to have a Symphonic effect on one Voice and Phaser on another. Variation also
gives you many special effects not found in the Reverb and Chorus sections,
such as Delay, Gate Reverb, Wah and Pitch Change.
The Variation effect can be applied either to all Parts (as with Reverb and
Chorus), or to a single selected Part (as described below).
Operation
1 Set Variation Connection to "INS" (Insertion).
To use Variation with a single Part, the Variation Connection pa-
rameter should be set to Insertion.
2 Select the desired Part and set its Variation Send control to "on."
3 Return to the Variation parameters, select the Distortion Type,
and make other necessary settings.
