EFFECTS TAB

These controls allow you to manage the application of reverb and QSound Environmental Modeling™ (QEM™). QEM provides EAX 1.0/2.0 game compatibility and the ability to apply reverb to non-EAX sources including applications and exter- nal inputs.

Enable

When playing games supporting EAX properties select the “Enable” box under “Reverb/QSound Environmental Modeling”. Set the Environment selector to “- none –“ to avoid reverb being applied to non-EAX applications.

To apply reverb to non-EAX applications also select a reverb type using the “Environment” selector described below and adjust the reverb level using the slider corresponding to the source.

Environment

Using this pull down menu you can select various types of reverbs that simulate various environments. To turn on these environments the “Enable” box must be selected.

If you are playing an EAX 1.0 or 2.0 game it should automatically select the appropriate environment as you move around the game. The environment selector can be left on “-none-“.

If you are playing a non-EAX enabled game, music or movies you can select an environment of your choice and adjust the level using the slider corresponding to the source.

If you are using the Philips Rhythmic Edge (H/W) Synth rather than the Yamaha SXG (default) then the “Environment” you select will also be used when playing MIDI music and the intensity will be controlled on the reverb slider on the

MIDI tab.

Some “Environments” such as “Concert Hall” are more appropriate for music while others like “Forsaken” were designed with specific games in mind and others like “Drugged” are for gaming and general playing around.
