Effects & Effect Editing
The VL70-m features a versatile internal effects system which consists of four
independent effect stages: REVERB, CHORUS, VARIATION, and DISTOR-
TION. Of these the REVERB and CHORUS stages function as "system ef-
fects", the VARIATION stage can be used either as a system or "insertion"
effect, and the DISTORTION stage always functions as an insertion effect. See
the signal-flow diagrams below for the different between "system" and "Inser-
tion" effects.
NOTES
• When the VOICE sound module mode is selected (page 27) effect edits can be stored
with each individual voice.

Effect Signal Flow

The following diagrams should help you to understand how the VL70-m
effect stages relate to overall signal flow.

When the Variation Stage is an Insertion Effect

Distortion
Tone
generator
In this case the output from the tone generator is first sent to the distortion
stage, and the distortion effect signal is then mixed back into the main signal
line via the corresponding "Dry/Wet" parameter. Next is the variation stage,
with the same "Dry/Wet" mixing capability. In this connection mode the distor-
tion and variation stages are both functioning as insertion effects. After the
insertion effects the signal can be sent to the reverb and chorus stages via the
"RevSend" and "ChoSend" parameters available in the PLAY mode (pages 35
and 39). The output from both of these stages is stereo, and the effect signal can
be mixed back in with the main signal line via the "RevRtn" and "ChoRtn"
