Effects Internal the Using

Using the Internal Effects

The ST-224 has 22 types of built-in effects. You can select any effect and apply it to the sound of any pad. The [EDIT 1] wheel and [EDIT 2] knob on the unit can be used to adjust effect parameters in real time. It is also possible to synchronize a specific effect parameter with a certain BPM value.

Applying an Effect to a Specific Pad

This section explains how to select an effect type, apply an effect to a pad, and how to adjust effect

parameters.
