EFFECTS
The two multi-effects channels (FX1 and FX2) are divided into three distinct sections:
DISTORTION/EQ/RING MOD into MODULATION/DELAY into REVERB. The 'reverb only'
channels (RV3 and RV4) only offer reverb effects.
Single programs may be assigned to these effects channels in the SINGLE mode but the
power of the multi-channel processing comes into its own when in MULTI mode as each
part may be sent to different effects channels. For example, the drums could be sent to
RV3 giving a gated reverb effect, an electric piano sound to FX1 giving EQ, chorus and
reverb, an organ sound could be routed to FX2 to give a distorted rotary speaker effect
with echo and a large room reverb whilst strings and brass could be routed to RV4 with a
large hall reverb. Several parts may be routed to one channel so that programs can share
the same effects and each part has its own individual effects send level for setting the
amount of effect on each part. Furthermore, individual keygroups in a program may be
routed to any of the four effects so that, for example, in a drums program, each drum
may have its own reverb send level and reverb type selected.
NOTE: A single program, part or keygroup cannot be sent to more than one effects
channel.
In this way, the S3000XL becomes almost a complete studio in one box and you could
mix down a complete multi-timbral musical performance through the stereo outputs. You
can also mix down digitally through the S3000XL's digital output to DAT or any other
digital recorder/editor such as the Akai DR4 or DR8.
