Making Multi-Effects Settings

The Multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely change the sound type by changing the sound itself. Contained are 65 different effects types; select and use the type that suits your aims. In addition to effects types composed of simple effects such as Distortion, Flanger, and other such effects, you can also set up a wide variety of other effects, even connecting effects in series or in parallel. Additionally, while some multi-effects types feature chorus and reverb, the reverb (p. 78) and chorus (p. 78) effects discussed later in this volume are handled separately.

MFX Source, MFX Dest

On the RD-700, the MFX Type can be stored along with the tones assigned to each part.

These settings determine which multi-effects are used, as well as the part to which the multi-effects are applied.

Parameter	Value	Description
		The multi-effect doesn't
		change even when you
		switch to a different tone.
	FIXED	This setting is convenient
		when you want to use the
MFX Source		same multi-effect, even
		when changing tones.
	UPPER1,	The MFX Type of the Tone
	UPPER2,
		assigned to the selected part
	LOWER,
		is applied.
	RHYTHM
	SOURCE	The multi-effect is applied
		only to the part selected in
	PART
		MFX Source.
		The multi-effect is applied to
MFX Dest	SAME	parts assigned the same
	MFX	multi-effect as the part se-
		lected in MFX Source.
	ALL PART	The multi-effects are applied
		to all parts.

NOTE

When MFX Source is set to FIXED, the MFX Dest setting is fixed at ALL PART, and the multi-effects are applied to all parts.

Type

Select the Multi-Effects Type.

There are 65 different multi-effects available. Refer to the “Effect/Parameter List” (p. 104).

NOTE

When MFX Source is set to UPPER1, UPPER2, LOWER, or RHYTHM, the Tone Edit MFX Type settings (p. 80) also change.

MFX Control

You can make changes to the multi-effect parameters in real time with the [CONTROL] knob. Here, select the parameter to be changed.

The parameters that can be changed vary with the different multi-effects selected in Type.

The available choices depend on the Type setting. Refer to the “Effect/Parameter List” (p. 104).

<Other Prm>, Value

You can make more detailed the multi-effect parameters. When Other Prm is selected, the indication of the corresponding Value changes, and the value is set. Refer to the “Effect/Parameter List” (p. 104).

NOTE

Multi-effects are not applied to parts that have the Internal Part Prm MFX Switch set to “OFF” in Edit mode.

With some types of multi-effects, lowering the volume of the Part to which the multi-effects are added may end up changing the amount of the effect applied. In such cases, adjust the MFX <Other Prm> Level.

NOTE

Some multi-effects have parameters that can be specified in terms of a note value (for example, the STEP RATE parameter of

16:STEP FLANGER). When such parameters are assigned to MFX Control and <Other Prm>, and a note value has been supplied for the value, you won’t be able to change the value using the [CONTROL] knob. If you want to change the value with the knob, use numeric values when making settings.

Use caution before setting the Feedback parameter to its maximum or minimum values, since such settings may cause the sound to play continuously.
