Multi-Effects Types

(EFX Parameter)

Multi-Effects provides 40 types of effect. Some of these consist of two different effects connected in series or parallel.

*Parameters marked with a sharp “#” can be controlled using a specified controller (Two setting items will change simultaneously for “#1” and “#2”). Settings in the Patch or Performance EFX Control display (PATCH/EFFECTS/PATCH EFX CTRL or PERFORM/EFFECTS/PERFORM EFX CTRL) will determine how these parameters are controlled.

1: STEREO-EQ (Stereo Equalizer)

This is a four-band stereo equalizer (low, mid x 2, high).

L in	4-Band EQ	L out
R in		R out
	4-Band EQ

LowFreq (Low Frequency)

Select the frequency of the low range (200 Hz/400 Hz).

LowGain (Low Gain)

Adjust the gain of the low frequency.

Hi Freq (High Frequency)

Select the frequency of the high range (4000 Hz/8000 Hz).

Hi Gain (High Gain)

Adjust the gain of the high frequency.

P1 Freq (Peaking 1 Frequency)

Adjust the frequency of Peaking 1 (mid range).

P1 Q (Peaking 1 Q)

This parameter adjusts the width of the area around the Peaking 1 Frequency that will be affected by the Gain setting. Higher values of Q will result in a narrower area being affected.

P1 Gain (Peaking 1 Gain)

Adjust the gain for the area specified by the Peaking 1 Frequency and Q settings.

P2 Freq (Peaking 2 Frequency)

Adjust the frequency of Peaking 2 (mid range).

P2 Q (Peaking 2 Q)

This parameter adjusts the width of the area around the Peaking 2 Frequency that will be affected by the Gain setting. Higher values of Q will result in a narrower area being affected.
