VA-76 – Insertion effect (M-FX)

Selecting an M-FX type

Let us now have a look at how to select a different type (effect) for the M-FX processor. Each type you select is loaded with suitable preset settings that cannot be edited on the VA-76 itself. You can, however, modify two parameters per type via the [M-FX] knob on the front panel and the two sliders on the M-FX Parame- ters page (see page 121). See page 219 for a description of the types and the controllable parameters.

1.Press and hold the M-FX [ON/OFF] button to jump to the following display page:

If another field in the left column is displayed in white, press the [M-FX] field.

2.If necessary, use the [o][k] fields to select another set of 15 types.

3.Press the field that corresponds to the M-FX type you need.

You may want to set the M-FX to Manual mode to avoid accidental changes when you select another Tone for the Upper1 part. See page 121.

M-FX Send: processing the M-FX with the other effects

As you know, Keyboard parts that you assign to the M-FX lose the Reverb, Chorus, and Delay Send capa- bilities, while their [Equalizer] field also becomes inactive.

You could, however, set these parameters for the M-FX itself, in which case, the signal is processed as follows:

a)The signals of all Keyboard parts assigned to the M-FX are combined and transmitted to the M-FX.

b)The M-FX processes these signals.

c)By setting the parameters below, you can process the output signal of the M-FX with the Reverb, Chorus, and Delay effects, and also route it through the Equal- izer.

You probably know how to do the above, so we’ll leave you to it. (If not, see pages 116 and 119.) Here’s how to select these parameters:

1.On the above display page, press the [Param] field.

2.On the page that appears now, press the [k] field.

The display now looks more or less as follows:

3.Use the sliders, the [TEMPO/DATA] dial, or the [DATA] button/Numeric Entry pad (see page 49) to set the desired send values.

4.Press the [Default Value] field to reset all three slid- ers to their factory setting (“40”, “0”, “0”).

5.Use the [Equalizer] field to divert the M-FX signal to the EQ (white) or directly to the speakers and out- puts (blue).
