“Send 1”, “Send 2”: Set the send levels to the master effects. For this example, set this to 127.

8Select the IFX1–5 tabs, and set the parameters for each of the selected effects.

For details on the parameters of each effect (p.155 in the Parameter Guide).

Master effects

The input levels to the master effects are set by the “Send 1, 2” levels (step 3 or 7). If “Send 1, 2” are zero, the master effects will not apply. “Send 1” corresponds to MFX1, and “Send 2” corresponds to MFX2.

9In Program P9: Edit-Master Effect, select the Mas- ter FX tab.

0In MFX1 and MFX2, select the type of each master effect (5).

The procedure is the same as when selecting an insertion effect.

The master effects cannot use double-size effects.

The master effects are mono-in/stereo-out. Even if a stereo-input effect is selected, it will function as mono input.

Each time you press the ON/OFF button, the mas- ter effect will be switched on/off. When OFF, the output of the master effect will be muted.

AUse “Return 1” and “Return 2” to adjust the output levels of the master effects.

For each effect, the Wet value of the “Wet/Dry” parameter is the output level at the effect. The return value is multiplied with this (“Return” = 127 will be x1.0) to determine the actual output level of the master effect.

BSelect the MFX1 and MFX2 tabs, and set the parameters for each selected effect.

For details on the parameters of each effect, refer to p.155 in the Parameter Guide.

Master EQ

CUse the stereo 3-band master EQ to make final equalizing adjustments immediately before the sound is output from the AUDIO OUTPUT L/ MONO and R jacks.

Move the slider for each band to make adjustments.

You can select the Master EQ tab, and adjust the band frequency of the master EQ (p.207 in the Parameter Guide).

Effect settings in Combination, Song, and Song Play modes

In Combination, Sequencer, and Song Play modes, you can specify the routing of each timbre/track to the insert effects and master effects. These settings are made in the same way in each of these modes. We will be using the example of Combination mode in our explanation here.

Routing

1In Combination P8: Edit-Insert Effect, select the Routing tab.

2Select “IFX/Indiv.Out BUS Select.” Here you can specify the bus (insert effect) to which the output of each timbre will be sent.

The routing, insert effects, and chain settings are shown graphically in the upper part of the display screen. In this example, T01 (timbre 1) uses IFX1 and 2. T02 uses IFX2, T03 uses IFX3 and 4, T02 and T05 use IFX4, and T06 and T07 use IFX5. Selection of each effect type, the on/off setting, and chain settings are made in the Insert Effect tab.

3Make settings for Send 1 and Send 2.

For each timbre, you can set the send levels to the master effects.

This can be set only if “IFX/Indiv.Out BUS Select” is set to L/R or Off.

The actual send level is determined by multiplying this by the “Send 1” or “Send 2” settings for oscil- lators 1 and 2 within the program selected by the timbre. If the program parameter “Send 1” or “Send 2” is set to 0, the resulting level will still be 0 even if you raise this send level.

If “IFX/Indiv.Out BUS Select” is set to IFX1–5, the send levels to the master effects are set by “Send 1” and “Send 2” (Insert FX tab) following the insert effects.

Insert effects

Select an effect for IFX1–IFX5, and set “Pan,” “BUS Sel. (BUS Select),” “Send 1” and “Send 2” for the signal that
