DSP Limitations
The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) system used to create the EX effects is also used by the AN,
FDSP, and VL (EX5/5R only) tone generators to create voices. This means that less DSP capacity is
available to produce effects when the aforementioned voice types are used. This imposes limitations
which are different for the EX5/5R and EX7. The Reverb and Chorus effect units function normally
regardless of the type of voice used.
EX5/5R
There are no limitations to using insertion effects in the EX5 or EX5R Voice mode. In the
Performance mode, however, insertion effects can be used on a maximum of 4 parts (voices) if the
performance setup consists entirely of AWM voices. If a VL, AN, or FDSP voice is used in the
performance setup, however, an insertion effect can only be used on one part (voice).
EX7
In the EX7 Voice mode, Insertion effects can be used in AWM voices, but not in any other voice type
(AN or FDSP). In the Performance mode, if the performance setup consists of only AWM voices,
then an insertion effect may be used on one voice. But if the performance setup includes an AN or
FDSP voice, then no insertion effects can be used.
