Voice Parameters

1-3-7 Effect

The Effect unit applies Effects to the output of the tone generator block and audio input block, processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change the sound of the created Voice as desired.

The unprocessed sound is called "dry" sound, and the processed sound is referred to as "wet .

Master effects are applied to the final stereo output signal of the entire sound.

System Effects are applied to the overall sound: a Voice, an entire

Performance, a Song, etc.

With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the effect according to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to as “wet”) is sent back to the mixer, according to the Return Level, and output—after being mixed with the unprocessed “dry” sound. This arrangement lets you prepare an optimum balance of the effect sound and the original sound of the Parts.

Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified parts before merging signals of all parts.

It should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change the character. The synthesizer features some sets of Insertion Effects (one set has A and B units).

Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each individual Element of the current Normal Voice.

Set this to Thru to bypass the Insertion Effects for the specified element.

When the Insertion Effect Connection parameter is set to Vocoder, the signal of each Element is output to the same process for the Vocoder regardless of this setting.

Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each individual Drum Key of the current Drum Voice.

Parameters can be set for each Drum Key.

When the Insertion Effect Connection parameter is set to Vocoder, the signal from each Drum Key is output to the same process for the Vocoder regardless of this setting.

The Chorus System Effect block uses various types of modulation processing, including flanger and phaser, to enhance the sound in a variety of ways.

Adjusts the Chorus send level.

The higher the value the deeper the Chorus.

The Reverb System Effect block adds a warm ambience to the sound, simulating the complex reflections of actual performance spaces, such as a concert hall or a small club.

Adjusts the reverb send level.

The higher the value the deeper the Reverb.
