Adding some reverberation can greatly enhance the
sound of a synthesizer. Reverb can be applied globally to
all voices, so it is best to place this reverb into the FX

. The audio signals from the Voices must be routed
REA
to the FX Area first. On the 2-Out module you see an
Output Destination selector. If you click on the button F
2 the signals will be routed to the FX Area. In the FX
Area these signals need to be received and there is a
special module for this, the F

the 2-Out module in the FX Area you can connect the
Reverb module that you will find in the FX Module
Group. Insert these modules in the patch and make the cabling just like in the illustration.
Note that there can be a lot of sound coming in on the FX-In module when routing a polyphonic patch
into the FX Area and a lot of notes are played at the same time. This might cause the mix of the Voices
to hit the signal headroom and cause clipping. To prevent possible clipping you must set the P
on the left side of the FX-I
extra 6dB of headroom, but will also make the overall output volume drop. To compensate for the drop
in volume you can set the P
on the safe side, it is wise to make these settings in every polyphonic patch that uses the FX Area. For
monophonic patches it is not necessary to make these settings.

ELOCITY
question is only where to apply it. The most
logical use for Velocity is to control the
loudness of each individual keypress. So, you
need to apply the Velocity Morph to a volume
control that is in the voice itself. But right
now there is none, meaning that you first need
to insert a module with a volume knob. A very
interesting choice is to use a E
module, which you will find in the F
Module Group. This EqPeak module has a
volume control named L
sounds are played louder the middle
frequency range is also boosted a bit. This
module gives you the possibility to both
control the volume for the note plus boost the
middle range by applying the Velocity Morph
to both L
and G

First insert a EqPeak module in the patch and
connect it between the output of the
