Chapter 15: Effect

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.

• 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 ef-

fects selected in the FX1. Likewise, when you press the [F3]

(FX2) key in the EFFECT mode, the FX2 page will be dis-

played, 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 lo-

cated 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.

4 BAND EQ (4 band equalizer)

This effect is the equalizer, which can adjust the 4 fre-

quency bands to correct or process the sound. Low/Hi

EQ is a shelving type equalizer, which boosts or cuts

the frequencies higher or lower than the specified fre-

quency. The Mid1/2 is a peaking type equalizer, which

boosts or cuts the specified frequency and the harmon-

ics surrounding the frequency.

Low frq field You can set the low frequency range.

Low Gain field You can adjust the gain of the low frequency range.

Mid1 frq field

You can set the frequency of the mid fre-

quency range 1.

Mid1 Gain field You can set the gain of the mid frequency range 1.

Mid1 Q field

quency range 1.

quency range 2.

quency range.

High Gain field You can set the gain of the high frequency range.

COMPRESSOR

This effect compresses sound which exceeds a certain

level, to make the sound levels even.

Threshold field

any signals, which exceed the level set here, will be com-

pressed. The lower the value is, the better the result will be.

Gain field

You can adjust the overall level here. As you lower the

value in the Threshold field, the overall level is also low-

ered. You can adjust the final level in this field.

Ratio field

You can set the compression ratio here. The larger

you set the value, the greater the compression be-

comes and you can make the overall level even.
