7.2–1c 7.2–1d

7.2–1a: Master Effect Setup

The master effects do not output the direct sound (Dry). The return level (“Rtn 1, 2”) sends the effect sound (Wet) to the L and R bus, and this is mixed with the direct sound (“BUS Select” L/R: 7.1–1a, 7.1–2a).

The master effects are monaural input. The sound that is panned to L and R after passing through the oscillator and insert effect is mixed to a monaural signal as adjusted by the “S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” levels, and input to the master effects.

The master effects are mono-instereo-out. Even when a stereo-input type effect is selected, the input will be monaural.

MFX1 On/Off, MFX2 On/Off [Off, ON]

Switches master effect 1, 2 on/off. When off, the output will be muted.

Separately from this setting, you can use CC#94 to switch master effect 1 on/off, CC#95 to switch master effect 2 on/off. A value of 0 will be off, and a value of 1–127 will be the original setting. This is controlled on the global MIDI channel “MIDI Channel” (GLOBAL 2.1–1a).

Master Effect 1, 2 [00...89: name]

Indicates the effect type for master effect 1, 2. You can select from 89 types of effect: 01: St.Amp Sim–89:Reverb-Gate. If

00:No Effect is selected, the output from the master effect will be muted.

Rtn 1, 2 (Return 1, 2) [000...127]

Adjusts the return levels from the master effects to the L/R bus (main output L/MONO, R).

7.2–1b: Chain

MFX Chain [Off, On]

On (checked): Chain (series connection) will be turned on for MFX1 and MFX2. (☞ p.161)

Off (unchecked): MFX 1 and MFX2 are operating in parallel.

Direction (Chain Direction)

[MFX1→ MFX2, MFX2→ MFX1]

Specifies the direction of the connection when MFX1 and MFX2 are chained.

MFX1→ MFX2: Connect from MFX1 to MFX2.

MFX2→ MFX1: Connect from MFX2 to MFX1.

Signal (Chain Signal) [L/R Mix, L Only, R Only]

When chain is On, this parameter specifies how the stereo output signal of the first master effect will be connected to the input (mono) of the next master effect.

L/R Mix: The stereo output L/R of the first master effect will be mixed before being input to the next master effect.

L Only, R Only: Only the left or right channel of the output will be input to the next master effect.

Level (Chain Level) [000...127]

Sets the send level from the first master effect to the next master effect when chain is turned on.

7.2–1c: Master EQ Gain [dB]

Sets the amount of cut and boost for the three-band EQ located immediately before the AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN OUT) L/MONO and R jacks. This is linked with the various “Gain” parameters of Master EQ (7.2–4).

Low	[–18.0...	+18.0]
Mid	[–18.0...	+18.0]
High	[–18.0...	+18.0]

The cutoff frequency for “Low,” “Mid” and “High” and the “Q” of “Mid” can be adjusted in the MEQ page. These set- tings are in “dB” units.

■7.2–1d: UTILITY

☞“Write Program” (1.1–1c)

For details on how to select the desired utility function, refer to “PROG 1.1–1c: UTILITY.”

Copy Master Effect

This command lets you copy any desired effect settings from Program, Combination, Song.

1Select “Copy Master Effect” to access the dialog box.

2In “From,” select the copy source mode, bank, and num- ber.

You can use the Bank [A]–[GM] keys to select the bank.

3Select the effect that you wish to copy. If you select MFX 1 or 2, “Rtn (Return)” (return level) will be copied at the same time. If you select Master EQ, only the master EQ settings will be copied. You can also copy from an insert effect. If you check “All,” all settings of the master effects and master EQ will be copied.

If you copy from an insert effect the result may not be identical, due to differences in routing and level set- tings.

4In “To,” select the copy destination master effect.

5To execute the Copy Master Effect command, press the [F8] (“OK”) key. To cancel, press the [F7] (“Cancel”) key.
