Applying reverb

When you select Reverb in the FX type, you need to apply this effect to a specific pad in a slightly different way.

Here, assume you have selected REVERB in the FX2 type field.

01. Select REVERB in the FX2 type field and then select the FX SEND page of the MIXER

mode.

02. Hit the desired pad.

03. Press the up cursor key to select the FX SEND field and select 2 in the field.

You cannot apply the reverb effect by just selecting the FX SEND. To apply the effect, you need to adjust the

signal level sent to the reverb in the send level field.

04. To adjust the signal level sent to the reverb, press the down cursor key and turn the

DATA wheel.

This field is called the Send level field, and it displays the value as the bar. The larger the signal level is, the

greater the reverb effect becomes.

Tips: You can adjust the send level field to adjust the amount of the reverb for each pad, individually.

Applying effects of the FX2 to the effect sound of the FX1

Normally, the effect sound is sent to the stereo out directly. For example, when using the PHASE SHIFTER in the

FX1 and REVERB in the FX2, you cannot apply REVERB in the FX2, since the effect sound of the FX1 is sent to the

stereo out. By using the To FX2 field, you can send the output of the FX1 to the FX2 to apply the effect of FX2.

01. In the SELECT page of the EFFECT mode, set the To FX2 field to YES.

The sound from the FX1 will be sent to the FX2.

If you set 1 to a pad in the FX SEND page of the MIXER mode, you can apply the effects of both FX 1 and 2 to them.

If you set 2 to a pad in the FX SEND page of the MIXER mode, you can apply the effects of FX2.

Editing effects

In this section, you will learn how to edit effects.

When you press the [F2] (FX1) key in the EFFECT mode, the FX1 page will be displayed, where you can edit the

effects selected in the FX1. Likewise, when you press the [F3] (FX2) key in the EFFECT mode, the FX2 page will be

displayed, where you can edit the effects selected in the FX2. Also, you can change the effects assigned to FX1

and 2 by selecting the effect type in the FX type field, which is located at the top of each page.

Tips: If you press the [F5] (BYPASS) key in the FX1 and FX2 pages, you can turn off the effects temporally. This is

useful to compare the effected sound and the original sound.

Below is a brief overview on each effect.

BIT GRUNGER

This effect adds distortion to the sound to lower the quality of the sound and create the lo-fi sound.

Depth field Sets the amount to lower the sound quality. The larger the value is, the more lo-fi sound will

be created.
