Performance functions and effects

(4)Use the [√][®] buttons to select one of the following parameters (depending on the Keyboard part you wish to prepare a different MFX type for):

Off

=120

UPP

Off

=120

Lay

Off

=120

Loe

(5) Use the [+][–]buttons to select the desired MFX type for the Upper (UPP), Layer (LAY) and/or Lower (LOE) part.

Remember that the choice of a different MFX type is only audible for the Keyboard part that is currently assigned to the MFX (see above). Furthermore, the part in question (if it is Lower or Layer) must be switched on.

Also, please note that the MFX type of the Upper part changes when you assign a different sound to that part (so that a guitar sound uses a distortion effect, an organ sound the rotary effect, etc.).

 

Off: The MFX is off.

 

Enhancer: An Enhancer controls the overtone structure

 

of the high frequencies, adding sparkle and tightness to

 

the sound.

 

Overdrv1~4: Overdrive creates a soft distortion similar

 

to that produced by tube amplifiers. Several types of

 

overdrive are available: (1) Small combo amp, (2) Combo

 

amp, (3) Large double-stack amp (2 cabinets), (4) Large

 

double-stack amp (3 cabinets).

 

Distort1~4: This effect produces a more intense distor-

 

tion than Overdrive. The numbers refer to different

 

kinds of distortion.

 

Phaser: Adds a phase-shifted sound to the original

 

sound, producing a twisting modulation that creates

 

spaciousness and depth.

 

AutoWah: The Auto Wah cyclically controls a filter to

 

create cyclic change in timbre.

 

Rotary: Simulates the sound of a classic rotary speaker.

 

This effect is most suitable for electric organ. By assign-

 

ing the “RotSlow/Fast” parameter to a pedal, you can

 

use that pedal to alternate between slow and fast

 

undulations.

 

StFlangr: This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic

 

resonance that rises and falls like a jet airplane taking

 

off or landing.

 

SpFlangr: A Step Flanger is a Flanger effect with clearly

 

noticeable steps rather than continuous pitch changes.

r

Compress: A compressor reduces signal peaks and

boosts low levels, smoothing out unevenness in volume.

Limiter: A limiter prevents the volume from exceeding

 

 

a certain level without boosting low levels.

 

HexaCho: Hexa Chorus uses six layers of chorused

 

sound to give richness and spatial spread to the sound.

 

Trem Cho: Tremolo Chorus is a chorus effect with

 

added Tremolo (cyclic modulation of the volume).

 

StChorus: This is a stereo chorus.

Space-D: A multiple chorus that gives no impression of modulation, but produces a transparent chorus effect (the perfect “stereo maker”).

StDelay: Delay is an effect that allows you repeat the input signal, thus creating echoes (repetition).

Mod Dly: This effect adds modulation to the delayed sound, producing an effect similar to a flanger. 3Tap Dly: The Triple Tap Delay produces three delay sounds; center, left and right.

4Tap Dly: Delay with four repetition lines.

TmCtrDly: This effect controls the delay time in real- time.

Reverb: A nice Reverb effect.

GteRevNr: Gate Reverb is a special type of reverb in which the reverberant sound is suddenly cut off (and does not gradually decrease).

GteRevRv: A gated Reverb effect that sounds “back- wards”.

GteRevS1: The reverberant sound moves from right to left.

GteRevS2: The reverberant sound moves from left to right.

2PtchShf: A Pitch Shifter changes the pitch of the original sound. This 2-voice effect has two pitch shifters, and adds two transposed copies to the original sound. FbPtchShf: Pitch Shifter with several echoes. OD®Chors: This effect connects an overdrive and a chorus in series. (“Series” means that the first effect is also processed by the second.)

OD®Flger: Connects an overdrive and a flanger in series.

OD®Delay: Connects an overdrive and a delay in series.

DS®Chors: Connects distortion and a chorus in series.

DS®Flger: Connects distortion and a flanger in series.

DS®Delay: Connects distortion and a delay in series.

EH®Chors: Connects an enhancer and a chorus in series.

EH®Flger: Connects an enhancer and a flanger in series.

EH®Delay: Connects an enhancer and a delay in series.

Cho®Dly: Connects a chorus and a delay in series.

FL®Delay: Connects a flanger and a delay in series.

Cho®Flgr: Connects a chorus and a flanger in series.

Cho/Dly: Connects a chorus and a delay in parallel. (“Parallel” means that the input signal is processed by two effects that do not interact.)

FL/Delay: Connects a flanger and a delay in parallel.

Cho/Flgr: Connects a chorus and a flanger in parallel.

Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 46).

Note: MFX type selection is linked to sound selection for the Upper part. That explains why the type you assign to the Upper part (UPP) may change automatically. Note that this does not apply to all sounds.

(6)While selecting an MFX type, play a few notes on the keyboard to audition the effect.

(7)Press the [Exit] button to leave this function.
