Output - Alesis Micron Reference Manual

10. Output

Drive Type
Select bypass for a clean sound or one of compressor, rms limiter,
tube overdrive, distortion, tube amp, or fuzz pedal.
Drive Level
Set the amount of drive, from 0 to 100%.
Prgrm Level (Program Level)
This simple but very important parameter controls how loud your
program is. When set to zero, the program is silent, whereas a
setting of 100% will play it full-blast. If you hear your sound
clipping, this is a good parameter to reach for. You can also use
this parameter to equalize the loudness of the various programs
you create, so they all sound about the same level as you flip
through them, regardless of their individual oscillator, filter, and
mixer settings.
FX Mix (Effects Mix)
Sets the wet/dry mix for the effects-processed audio, from 0 to
100%.
FX Balance (Effects Balance)
Sets the balance between the Micon's two effects modules and
determines how much of each is heard.
FX1 Type (Effects 1 Type)
Select bypass for no effect, or select one of the built-in pitch effects
(chorus, theta flanger, thru-0 flanger, super phaser, string phaser,
or 40-band vocoder).

reverb, room reverb).
