Routing settings and effect set- tings

The insert effects, master effects, and master EQ have the same structure in all modes, but the routing settings will determine how the oscillators of a program or the timbres of a combination or track of a song will be sent to each insert effect or master effect. In the pages that follow, we will explain how you can make routing settings and effect settings in each mode.

Effect settings for a program

Routing

1In Program P8: Edit-Insert Effect, select the Routing page.

2Use “BUS Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign) to specify the bus (insertion effect) to which the output of the oscillator will be sent.

L/R: The output will not be sent to the insert effects. After passing through the master EQ, the sound will be sent to AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R. IFX1–5:The output will be sent to insert effect IFX 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

1, 2, 3, 4, 1/2, 3/4: The output will be sent to AUDIO OUTPUT (INDIVIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, or 4. It will not be sent to the insert effects, the master effects, or the master EQ.

Off: The output will not be sent to AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO, R, or to (INDIVIDUAL) 1, 2, 3, 4. (After passing through the master effects, it will be out- put from AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN).) Select this when you wish to connect the output to the master effects in a series connection at the send levels specified by “Send 1 (MFX1)” and “Send 2 (MFX2).”

3OSC MFX Send specifies the send level from each oscillator to the master effects.

This can be set only when “BUS Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)” is either L/R or Off.

If “BUS Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)” is set to IFX1–5, the send level to the master effects is set by “Send 1” and “Send 2” (Insert FX page) after the signal passes through the insert effects.

Insert effects

4Select the Insert FX page.

5For IFX1–5, select the effect type for each insert effect.

When you press the popup button, all effects will be displayed, organized into six categories. Use the pages located at the left to select a category, and select an effect from that category on the LCD screen.

Effects 000–089 can be selected for IFX1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and MFX1 and 2.

Effects 090–102 are double-size effects, and require twice the processing area of other effects. These can be selected for IFX2, IFX3, and IFX4.

You can use the “Copy Insert Effect” page menu com- mand to copy effect settings from another program etc. Also, you can use “Swap Insert Effect” to exchange (for example) IFX1 and IFX5.

6Press 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.

7Make “Chain” settings.

If the “Chain” check box is checked, the insert effect will be connected in series. Since the output of the oscillator is being sent to IFX1 in 2, making settings as

shown in the diagram 4 would connect all five inser- tion effects IFX1 → IFX2 → IFX3 → IFX4 → IFX5 in series, so that these effects would be inserted into the output of the oscillator.

8Make settings for “Pan (CC#8),” “BUS Sel. (BUS Select),” “Send 1,” and “Send 2” for the sound after it has passed through the insert effects.

If the insert effects are chained, these settings will apply after the last IFX.

“Pan”: Sets the pan. This is valid only when BUS Sel. is L/R.

“BUS Sel.” (BUS Select): Specifies the output destina- tion. 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.

9Select the IFX1–5 pages, and set the parameters for each of the selected effects.
