Using Effects

Using effects in Sampling mode

In Sampling mode, you can apply effects to external
audio sources from the AUDIO INPUT 1–2 and
S/P DIF IN jacks, and sample the result. You can also
apply effects to the audio from a USB audio CD, and
sample the result. It's also possible to apply effects to a
multisample and resample the result.
Routing an external input
1. Go to the Sampling P0: Recording– Audio Input
page.
2. Use Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) to specify the bus to
which each audio input will be sent.
For example if you want the signal from a device
connected to AUDIO INPUT 1 to be input to insert
effect 1, set the INPUT 1 Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) to
IFX1.
3. Use Send1 and Send2 to specify the send level of
each timbre to the master effects.
This can be set only if Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) is set
to L/R or Off.
If Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.) is set to IFX1–12, the send
levels to the master effects are set by Send1 and
Send2 (Insert FX page) following the insert effects.
4. Set PLAY/MUTE and Solo On/Off as desired. You
can use the control surface to make these settings.
5. Use Pan to set the panning of the audio input.
If you're inputting a stereo audio source, you will
normally set the inputs to L000 and R127
respectively.
6. Use Level to adjust the level of the audio input.
Normally you will leave this at 127.
7. FX Control Bus sends the output of the timbre to
an FX Control bus.
The FX Control Buses lets you create effects
"sidechains." Sidechains let you control an effect
with one audio signal (the sidechain), while the
effect processes a completely different audio signal.
This is convenient for use with vocoders,
compressors and limiters, gates, etc. For more
information, see "FX Control Buses" on page 860 of
the Parameter Guide.
8. REC Bus sends the audio input to a REC bus.
206
By selecting a REC bus as the "Source Bus," you can
sample the signal thatʹs being sent to the REC bus.
Normally when sampling in this mode, you will
turn this Off, since the Source Bus will be set to L
and R.
Insert effects
1. Go to the Insert FX page.
2. Choose the insert effect that you want to use on
the audio input.
Press the popup button, and choose an effect from
the nine categories.
3. Press the On/Off button to turn on the insert
effect.
Each time you press the button, the insert effect will
be switched on/off. When Off, the result will be the
same as when 000: No Effect is selected. The input
sound will be output without change.
4. Make Chain settings.
If the Chain check box is checked, the insert effect
will be connected in series.
5. Make settings for Pan (CC#8), "Bus Sel. (Bus
Select)," "Send 1," "Send 2," REC Bus and "Ctrl
Bus" for the sound after it has passed through the
insert effects.
If effects are chained, the settings that follow the last
IFX are valid (except for "Ctrl Bus").
Pan: Sets the pan.
Bus Sel. (Bus Select): Specifies the output
destination. Normally you will set this to L/R. If you
wish to send the sound that has passed through the
insert effects to AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL)
1–4, select 1–4, 1/2, or 3/4.
Send 1, Send 2: Sets the send levels to the master
effects. For this example, set this to 127.
Ctrl Bus: The signal processed by the insert effect
will be sent to the FX Control bus. Use this if you
want to use another sound to control the audio
being input to an effect. You can use the two FX
Control buses to control effects freely.
For more information, see "FX Control Buses" on
page 860 of the Parameter Guide.
