Effects

The effect processor built into your DTX-MULTI 12
applies special audio effects to the output from the tone
generator in order to modify and enhance its sound in a
wide variety of ways. Normally applied during the final
stages of editing, such effects allow you to optimize the
sound in line with your own specific requirements.
■ Effect Processor Structure
This instrument can apply effects to the tone generator's
output using the following four effect units.
● Variation
Variation effects allow you to sculpt your sound in a variety
of different ways. A specific type of variation effect can be
selected for each kit within the VARIATION section
(KIT4); furthermore, you can also specify the degree to
which this effect is applied to each layer on the Variation
Send page (VCE4-1).
● Chorus
Chorus effects change the spatial characteristics of the
sounds to which they are applied. A specific type of chorus
effect can be selected for each kit within the CHORUS sec-
tion (KIT5); furthermore, you can also specify the degree
to which this effect is applied to each layer on the Chorus
Send page (VCE4-2).

● Reverb
Reverb effects add a warm ambience to sounds, simulating
the complex reflections of actual performance spaces, such
as a concert hall or a small club. A specific type of reverb
can be selected for each kit within the REVERB section
(KIT6); furthermore, you can also specify the degree to
which this effect is applied to each layer on the Reverb
Send page (VCE4-3).
NOTE
• The degree to which User patterns are processed by these effect units can
be specified on the Variation Send page (PTN3-5), the Chorus Send page
(PTN3-6), and the Reverb Send page (PTN3-7); furthermore, these set-
tings can then be saved as part of the User pattern data.
● Master EQ
Processing the overall instrument sound just before output,
the Master EQ supports five-band equalization. As this
equalization is applied to the sound of the entire instrument
and not that of individual drum kits or voices, Master EQ
settings do not change whenever a new drum kit is selected.
To set the corresponding parameters, use the parameter-set-
ting pages from the UTILITY setting area's MASTER EQ
section (UTIL3).

*1: Click-track voices cannot be sent to effects.
*2: On the Variation Send page (VCE4-1), you can set the required balance
between the amount of the signal that will bypass the effect (i.e., the dry
level) and the amount that will be sent to the effect (i.e., the wet level).
*3: Master EQ is not applied to the headphone output.
*4: External audio signals (AUX IN) bypass all effects.
