Using the effects

The EMX-1 contains three separate effect processors. For each pattern, you can use up to any three of the sixteen effect types. The sound of each part can be sent to any one of the effect processors. You can also change the way in which the three effects are connected to each other, and in this way apply more than one effect to a part.

To apply an effect

1.Either begin playback, or if you are editing a synth part, turn the KEYBOARD key on (lit) so that you can play the sound.

2.Press a drum or synth part key to select the part to which you want to apply an effect.

3.In the edit section / part common area, press the FX SELECT key to select the effect processor that you want to use. Press the FX SEND key (lit) to send the sound of that part to the selected effect proces- sor.

4.In the edit section, press the effect FX CHAIN key to select how the effects will be connected.

You can turn effects on/off individually for each part. However if two or more parts are being sent to the same effect, you cannot change the effect type or effect parameter values individually for each part.
