VA-76 Owner’s Manual—Mixer, effects and editing

1.Press the [FUNCTION MENU] button.

2.Press the [Output Assign] field in the bottom row.

3.Depending on the group the desired part belongs to, press the [Keyboard Parts], [Style Parts] or [Song Parts] field so that it is displayed in white.

In the above example, the Keyboard Parts section has been selected.

4.Press the field assigned to the desired part so that it is displayed in white.

5.Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial or the [DATA] but- ton/Numeric Entry to select the desired OUTPUT socket(s):

1L/R— The part is connected to the OUTPUT 1 sock- ets. Its stereo position can be controlled using the Pan- Pot parameter. Such a part can also be processed by the VA-76’s internal effects.

2L/R— The part is connected to the OUTPUT 2 [L] and [R] sockets. Its stereo position can be set using the PanPot parameter.

2L— The part is connected to the OUTPUT 2 [L] socket.

2R— The part is connected to the OUTPUT 2 [R] socket. Choosing “2L” for one part and “2R” for another thus allows you to process two VA-76 parts separately using external effects.

Note: If you select a “2” option, the part’s volume can no longer be controlled using the [VOLUME] knob, nor can such a part be connected to the internal effects.

6.Press [EXIT] to return to the Master page.

Note: The Output Assign settings are written to a User Pro- gram, thus providing even greater flexibility.

8.4 Effects and Equalizer

The VA-76 is equipped with three programmable effects (Reverb, Chorus, and Delay), a multi-effector (called Insertion M-FX) and a parametric two-band equalizer.

Note: Any changes to the effects programs apply to all parts, as there is only one Reverb, one Chorus, one Delay, and one Equalizer (EQ). What can be specified for every part indi- vidually, though, is the amount of effect to be applied (effect depth/send).

Note: The M-FX is only available for the Keyboard parts, while the Delay is not available for the M.Drums or A.Drums part.

Note: The VariPhrase and Audio In parts use separate Reverb and Chorus effects.

Note: Parts assigned to an OUTPUT 2 socket cannot be processed using the internal effects.

Applying Reverb, Chorus, or Delay to a part

1.On the selected Mixer page (see page 112) select the part group ([Keybrd] or [Style]) and the part whose effect send setting you wish to change.

Do not forget to press the [Keybrd Mixer] or [Style Mixer] field to gain access to the desired part. The effect send settings specify the part level for the signal that is fed to the Reverb, Chorus, and Delay effect respectively. Setting high Reverb, Chorus, and Delay values means that you effectively increase the effect level.

As you see, one Palette page of the Keyboard Mixer level looks a little different. That is because neither the VariPhrase nor the M.Drums part can be processed with the Delay effect.

2.Press the [Delay] field and modify the Delay send level.

3.Press the [Chorus] field and modify the Chorus send level.
