ASSIGNING EFFECTS TO MULTI PARTS

In the MULTI mode, you route the selected part to the effects in the column of

the main MIX page:

In this example, we see that PART 1 is routed to FX1, PART 2 to FX2, PART 3 also to

FX1, PART 4 to RV4, etc.. Each parts’ send level is adjusted in the column.

The actual effects presets are selected in the EFFECTS mode. Pressing EFFECTS in

MULTI mode will show something like this screen:

Here you may select the multi-effects and reverb presets for the four channels.

NOTE: If you are using the ‘old Akai’ method for multi-timbral sequencing, please refer

back to the previous page.

If you think of the effects and their interaction with the parts more like you would approach

assigning effects to channels on your mixer, things way be easier to follow.

For example, let’s say that instead of having the internal effects on the S3000XL, you

have assigned each part to its own channel on a mixer. The first thing you would do is

patch in the first multi effects processor to AUX 1 on the mixer. You would then patch in

the second of your multi-effects processors to AUX 2. You would then patch in two reverb

processors to AUX 3 and AUX 4 respectively (of course, this is assuming you have two

multi-effects processors and two reverb processors!). You have now assigned the

outboard effects to the mixer channels much like routing parts to the S3000XL’s internal

effects.

On the mixer, you would then set the send levels for AUX 1, 2, 3 and 4 for each channel

as appropriate (like setting the SEND level parameter for each part in the MULTI). Finally,

you would turn to the effects processors in your rack and select appropriate effects

presets for the sounds routed (i.e. much like going to the EFFECTS mode and selecting

suitable presets reverb and effects setting).
