About the Effect Connections —
System and Insertion
All the effect sections are connected or routed in one of two ways: System
or Insertion. System applies the selected effect to all 16 Parts, while Inser-
tion applies the selected effect to one specific Part. Reverb and Chorus, are
System effects. The Variation effect section, on the other hand, can be
configured for either System or Insertion routing. (This is done from the
Variation Connection parameter; see page 91.) Since System and Inser-
tion are part of the XG MIDI format, you can create and play back song
data using the same flexible effect routings on any tone generator or sound
module having the XG mark.

The multi-effects of the MU50 provide not only a wide range of
sound processing controls, but also a flexible system for connecting
them. Unlike simple effect routing schemes on conventional sound
modules that process all voices with the same effects, the MU50
allows you to put independent, special effects on one Part, as well
as use overall effects for processing all 16 Parts together. For exam-
ple, you can have a Wah effect on a guitar Part, yet still use ambient
effects such as Reverb and Chorus for processing the overall mix.
