Using Effects
216
The procedure is the same as when selecting an insert
effect.
3. Press the On/Off button to turn on the master effect.
Each time you press the button, the master effect will be
switched on/off. When Off, the output of the master effect
will be muted.
4. Use “Return 1” and “Return 2” to adjust the output
levels of the master effects.
Note: For each effect, the Wet value of the Wet/Dry
parameter is the output level at the effect. The return
value is multiplied with this (“Return” = 127 will be x1.0)
to determine the actual output level of the master effect.
5. Select the MFX1 and MFX2 pages, and set the
parameters for each selected effect as desired.
Total Effects
If you use Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign) to choose
L/R as the oscillator output, or if you set the post-IFX Bus
Select to L/R, the signal will go through the total effect.
The output from the master effects is sent to the total effects
via the Return 1 and Return 2 settings on the Program P9:
Master/Total Effect– Routing page.
After being processed through the total effects, the signal
goes to the AUDIO OUTPUT (MAIN) L/MONO and R
outputs.
1. Go to the Program P9: Master/Total Effect– Routing
page.
2. Choose the desired total effect for TFX1 and TFX2.
The procedure is the same as when selecting an insert
effect. (See step 7)
3. Press the On/Off button to turn the total effects on.
The total effect will be switched on/off each time you
press the button. If this is Off, the result will be the same
as if 000: No Effect is selected. The input sound will be
output without change.
4. Access the TFX1 or TFX2 pages, and edit the
parameters of each effect to adjust the final sound as
desired.

Using effects in Combinations and Songs
In Combination, and Sequencer modes, you can specify the
routing of each timbre/track to the insert effects, master
effects and total effects. These settings are made in the same
way in each of these modes. We will be using the example of
Combination mode in our explanation here.
Routing to IFX, outputs, and buses
1. Go to the Combination P8: Insert Effect– Routing1
page.
2. Use “Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)” to specify the
bus to which each timbre will be output. Choose IFX1
if you want to send the output of a timbre to insert
effect 1.
The routing, insert effects, and chain settings are shown
graphically in the upper part of the display screen. In this
example, T01 (timbre 1) uses IFX1 and 2. T02 uses IFX2,
T03 uses IFX3 and 4, T02 and T05 use IFX4, and T06
and T07 use IFX5.
3. Use Send1 and Send2 to specify the send level of each
timbre to the master effects.
This can be set only if “Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out
Assign)” is set to L/R or Off.
Note: The actual send level is determined by multiplying
this by the “Send 1” or “Send 2” settings for oscillators 1
and 2 within the program selected by the timbre. If the
program parameter “Send 1” or “Send 2” is set to 0, the
resulting level will still be 0 even if you raise this send
level.
If “Bus Select (IFX/Indiv.Out Assign)” is set to IFX1–12,
the send levels to the master effects are set by Send1 and
Send2 (Insert FX page) following the insert effects.
4. Go to the Combination P8: Insert Effect– Routing 2
page.
Bus Select (IFX/Indiv. Out Assign) is the same as in the
Routing 1 page. You can set it from either page.
FX Control Bus sends the output of the timbre to an FX
Control bus. Use this when you want the audio input to an
effect to be controlled by another sound. There are two
FX Control buses, which gives you a great deal of
freedom for controlling effects freely.
REC Bus sends the output of the timbre to a REC bus. In
the P0– Audio Input/Sampling page, you can set the
Sampling Setup Source Bus to a REC bus, and sample
the signal that is sent to the REC bus. Use this if you want
to sample only the sound of a specific timbre.
Note: Sequencer mode has settings for MIDI Routing 1/2
and Audio Routing 1/2. These specify the effect routing
for MIDI tracks and audio tracks.
In Sequencer mode, you can also choose a REC bus as
the REC Source for each track in the P0– Audio Track
Mixer page, so that the signals sent to the REC bus(es)
can be recorded to the disk.
