Effects: A/B FX Configuration
Insert and Master FX
There are two different types of effects for each of the groups:
Insert, and Master FXs.
• Insert FXs completely process the dry signal coming from a
track, and are especially useful for effects like compression or
distortion. These effects are applied to a single track. Insert FXs
include Korg REMS™ effects, carefully modeled after real guitar
amps and stompbox effects.
• On the contrary, Master FXs are mixed in parallel with the dry
signal coming from a track (in case, pre-processed by the Insert
FXs), and can be mixed in via the "FX Send" parameter of the
Mixer/Tuning section (see "Mixer/Tuning: FX Send" on
page 121). These effects are applied to all tracks of the same
group (A/B) at once. Master FXs are most often modeled after
studio rack effects, to be used to refine and polish the sound and
give it a produced quality.
Insert FX section
On/Off/Dis
Use this button to turn the effect on or off.
Note: FX processors that cannot be activated (for lack of free pro-
cessors) exhibit the "Dis" label (for "Disabled"). To activate a dis-
abled processor, first deactivate another processor.
W/D (Wet/Dry)
Use this parameter to set the amount of the effect against the dry
signal coming from the track.
To edit the value, either use the VALUE controls or drag with
your finger. As an alternative, touch the parameter a second time
to open the numeric keypad, and enter the two-digit effect per-
centage.
Dry No effect applied. Only the dry signal from the
track can be heard.
01:99...99:01 Mix between the effect and the dry signal, in per-
centage.
Wet Only the effect can be heard.
FX Name
Use this pop-up menu to choose one of the available effects. For
a list of the available effects, see the "Advanced Edit" manual in
the Accessory Disk.
Track
Track to which the effect is applied. If you choose Drum or Perc,
the "Category" parameter on the right is also considered.
Note: If the "Chain" parameter is turned on on the IFX 1 effect,
this parameter cannot be edited for the following IFX effects.
Category
Drum/Perc category of instruments inside the Drum or Percus-
sive instrument set. You can apply effects to each separate cate-
gory (Bass Drums, Snare Drums, Cymbals...), instead of
applying them to the drum kit as a whole.
Chain
When this button is pressed down, the Insert FX goes into ("is
chained to") the following Insert FX. If not, it goes directly to the
Master FXs.
Master FX section
On/Off/Dis
Use this button to turn the effect on or off.
Note: FX processors that cannot be activated (for lack of free pro-
cessors) exhibit the "Dis" label (for "Disabled"). To activate a dis-
abled processor, first deactivate another processor.
W/D (Wet/Dry)
Use this parameter to set the amount of the effect against the dry
signal coming from the tracks (the "FX Send" stream). This is a
general adjustment for all tracks; individual adjustment for each
track can be done via the "FX Send" parameter of the Mixer/
Tuning section (see "Mixer/Tuning: FX Send" on page 121).
Set
To edit the value, either use the VALUE controls or drag with
your finger. As an alternative, touch the parameter a second time
to open the numeric keypad, and enter the two-digit effect per-
centage.
Dry No effect applied. Only the dry signal from the
track can be heard.
Set
01:99...99:01 Mix between the effect and the dry signal, in per-
centage.
Wet Only the effect can be heard.
FX Name
Use this pop-up menu to choose one of the available effects. For
a list of the available effects, see the "Advanced Edit" addendum
in the Accessory Disk.
M.T. (Modulating Track)
Source track for modulating MIDI messages. You can modulate
an effect parameter with a MIDI message generated by an inter-
nal physical controller.
Set
Note: Insert FXs are modulated by the track they are applied to.
to MFX1
Amount of the Master FX going back to the input of the Master
FX 1 (MFX1). This is usually called the "feedback loop".
