■M-FX UP1, UP2, LWR

(On/Off, Default setting: UP1: On, UP2/LWR: Off) These parameters allow you to specify whether or not the Upper 1, Upper 2, or Lower part should be processed by the M-FX. See also p. 29.

■Rev UP1

(0~127, Default setting: 100) This parameter allows you to set the Reverb Send Level for Upper 1 (i.e. how much Reverb should be added to the Upper 1 notes). This parameter is not used when “M-FX UP1” is set to “On”.

■Chr UP1

(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for Upper 1 (i.e. how much Chorus should be added to the Upper 1 notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is not used when “M-FX UP1” is set to “On”.

■Pan UP1

(0~127, Default setting: 64) This parameter allows you to set the stereo position of the Upper 1 part (i.e. its placement between the left and right speak- ers). “0” means that the stereo position changes randomly for each note you play. Values between “1” and “63” correspond to the left speaker. “64” refers to the center, and values between “65” and “127” correspond to the right speaker (“1”= hard left, “127”= hard right).

■Rev UP2

(0~127, Default setting: 100) This parameter allows you to set the Reverb Send Level for Upper 2 (i.e. how much Reverb should be added to the Upper 2 notes). This parameter is not used when “M-FX UP2” is set to “On”.

■Chr UP2

(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for Upper 2 (i.e. how much Chorus should be added to the Upper 2 notes). If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is not used when “M-FX UP2” is set to “On”.

■Pan UP2

(0~127, Default setting: 64) This parameter allows you to set the stereo position of the Upper 2 part (i.e. its placement between the left and right speak- ers). “0” means that the stereo position changes randomly for each note you play. Values between “1” and “63” correspond to the left speaker. “64” refers to the center, and values between “65” and “127” correspond to the right speaker (“1”= hard left, “127”= hard right).

■Rev LWR

(0~127, Default setting: 100) This parameter allows you to set the Reverb Send Level for the Lower part. This parameter is not used when “M-FX LWR” is set to “On”.

■Chr LWR

(0~127, Default setting: 0) This parameter allows you to set the Chorus Send Level for the Lower part. If you want this part to be processed by the Chorus effect, you need to select a value different from “0”. This parameter is not used when “M-FX LWR” is set to “On”.

■Pan LWR

(0~127, Default setting: 64) This parameter allows you to set the stereo position of the Lower part (i.e. its placement between the left and right speakers). “0” means that the stereo position changes ran- domly for each note you play. Values between “1” and “63” correspond to the left speaker. “64” refers to the center, and values between “65” and “127” correspond to the right speaker (“1”= hard left, “127”= hard right).

■Tone MFX

(On/Off, Default setting: On) This parameter allows you to link the selection of an M-FX type to the Tone you assign to the Upper 1 part. That way, a Distortion/Overdrive effect will be selected for a rock guitar sound, Rotary for an organ, etc.

■FSW (Footswitch Assign)

VALUE Sustain

(Default setting: Sustain) After connecting an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U to the FOOT- SWITCH/EXPR socket on the rear panel, you can use this parameter for assigning a function to the foot- switch.
