2. Scroll in the 'Select' field to choose the Fx send parameter.

3. Choose a pad to apply reverb to by hitting a pad.

This will select the desired pad in the 'Pad' field.

4. In the 'Send' field, choose FX2.

Notice now, that the 'Send level' field is available.

5. Select the 'Send level' 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.

6. Turn the [DATA] wheel to adjust the signal level sent to the reverb.

The larger the signal level is, the greater the reverb effect becomes.

Tip: You can adjust the 'Send level' field to adjust the amount of the reverb for each pad, individually.

Applying Effects of Fx2 to Fx1

Normally, the effect sound is sent to the stereo out directly. By using the To 'FX2' field, you can send the output of the FX1 to the FX2 to

apply the effect of FX2.

1. In the 'Select' field of the effect mode, choose 'FX1>FX2'. Change the 'Yes/no' field to Yes.

The sound from the FX1 will be sent to the FX2. If you set 1 to a pad in FX send, the effects of both FX 1 and 2 will be applied to them.

Editing Effects

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

When you are in the FX1 or FX2 selection, different parameters for each effect type can be edited by scrolling to each one in the 'Parameter'

field.

Below is a brief overview of each effect.

 Bit Grunger

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