17. M-FX Types & controllable parameters

Below please find a list of the M-FX Types available on the VA-76. As stated on page 123, each type provides two param- eters that can be controlled via the M-Value 1 and M-Value 2 sliders in the display. Parameters indicated with an asterisk

(*)can also be controlled via an optional footswitch. See “Rotary S/F” on page 191 for details. The “°” indicate the assignment to the [M-FX] knob.

TONE COLOR (filter type)

01 Enhancer	M-Val 1°	Sens	0~127
	M-Val 2	Mix	0~127

The Enhancer controls the overtone structure of the high frequen- cies, adding sparkle and tightness to the sound.

02 Humanizer	M-Val 1°	Vowel	a/i/u/e/o
	M-Val 2	Level	0~127

13 Rotary	*M-Val 1°	Speed	Slow/Fast
	M-Val 2	Level	0~127

The Rotary effect simulates the sound of a classic rotary speaker. The unique type of modulation characteristic of these speakers is of a striking realism. This effect is most suitable for electric organ.

14 StFlangr	M-Val 1°	Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
	M-Val 2	Feedback	-98% ~+98%

This adds a vowel character to the sound, making it similar to a human voice.

GUITAR AMPLIFIER EFFECTS

Here is what the abbreviations mean:
Small:	small amp
BltIn:	single-unit type amp
2-Stk:	large double-stack amp
3-Stk:	large triple-stack amp

03 Overdrv1 (Small) M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
M-Val 2	Pan	L63~0~R63

Overdrive creates a soft distortion similar to that produced by tube amplifiers. Several types of overdrive are available (see the names between brackets).

04	Overdrv2 (Bltln)	M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
		M-Val 2	Pan	L63 ~0~ R63
05	Overdrv3 (2-Stk)	M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
		M-Val 2	Pan	L63~0~R63
06	Overdrv4 (3-Stk)	M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
		M-Val 2	Pan	L63~0~R63
07	Distort1 (Small)	M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
		M-Val 2	Pan	L63~0~R63

This effect produces a more intense distortion than Overdrive.

08	Distort2 (Bltln)	M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
		M-Val 2	Pan	L63~0~R63
09	Distort3 (2-Stk)	M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
		M-Val 2	Pan	L63~0~R63
10	Distort4 (3-Stk)	M-Val 1°	Drive	0~127
		M-Val 2	Pan	L63~0~R63
MODULATION EFFECTS (EXCEPT CHORUS)
11	Phaser	M-Val 1°	Manual	100Hz~8.0kHz
		M-Val 2	Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz

A phaser adds a phase-shifted sound to the original sound, produc- ing a twisting modulation that creates spaciousness and depth.

12 Auto Wah	M-Val 1°	Manual	0~127
	M-Val 2	Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz

The Auto Wah cyclically controls a filter to create cyclic change in timbre.

This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic resonance that rises and falls like a jet airplane taking off or landing.

15 SpFlangr	M-Val 1	Feedback	-98% ~+98%
	M-Val 2°	Step Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz

A Step Flanger is an effect in which the Flanger pitch changes in audible steps.

16 Tremolo1 (Tri)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
(Triangular wave)	M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127

Tremolo cyclically modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the sound.

17	Tremolo2 (Sqr)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
(Square wave)		M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
18	Tremolo3 (Sin)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
(Sine wave)		M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
19	Tremolo4 (Saw1)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
(Normal saw wave)		M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
20	Tremolo5 (Saw2)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
(“Flipped” saw wave)		M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
21	AutoPan1 (Tri)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
		M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127

The Auto Pan effect cyclically modulates the stereo location of the sound.

22 AutoPan2 (Sqr)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
	M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
23 AutoPan3 (Sin)	M-Val 1°	Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
	M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
24 AutoPan4 (Saw1) M-Val 1°		Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
	M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
25 AutoPan5 (Saw2) M-Val 1°		Mod Rate	0.05~10.0 Hz
	M-Val 2	Mod Depth 0~127
DYNAMICS EFFECTS
26 Compress	M-Val 1°	Pan	L63~0~R63
	M-Val 2	Level	0~127

A compressor reduces signal peaks and boosts low levels, smoothing out unevenness in volume.

27 Limiter	M-Val 1°	Pan	L63 ~0~ R63
	M-Val 2	Level	0~127

A limiter prevents the volume from exceeding a certain level (Thresh- old) without boosting low levels.
