This synthesizer has two System Effect you can also specify the connecting way of two Units (Reverb and Chorus) plus two Insertion Units (series or parallel, as illustrated below). Effect Units. When using a Plug-in Board (PLG1 The combined signal from all Voice Elements - or PLG2) installed on the instrument, you can after application of the Insertion Effects - is sent also use a separate Insertion Effect Unit that is to the Reverb and Chorus System Effect Units. dedicated for each Plug-in Part. When you want to use Plug-in Voices from a Plug- Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in Voice Mode) and per Performance (in Performance Mode), though the connection between the Effect Units will vary in each case. in Board attached, you can also set up a dedicated Insertion Effect Unit for each Plug-in Voice. In this case, a Plug-in Voice signals processed with the Insertion Effect Unit will be then routed to Reverb and Chorus Units. Reverb Unit The Reverb Unit includes a selection of 12 different reverb-type effects, including realistic simulations of the natural reverberation found in various halls and rooms. In Voice Mode, Reverb settings can be set for each Voice. In Performance Mode, the Reverb settings will apply to the Performance as a whole. Insertion Effects Voice 1 2 Element 1~4 OFF EP1:EP2 1 2 Connection EP1©EP2 1 2 EP2©EP1 2 1 Reverb Chorus Chorus Unit The Chorus Unit includes a selection of 23 chorus-type effects, including a flanger and others. Most of these effects are ideal for adding thickness to the sound. In Voice Mode, Chorus settings can be set for each Voice. In Performance Mode, the Chorus settings will apply to the Performance as a whole. Insertion Effects The Insertion Effect 1 Unit includes 24 effects including chorus, flanger and auto-wah. The Insertion Effect 2 Unit offers delays, reverbs, rotary speaker, amp simulation and other effects, providing a total of 92 effects. If a Plug-in Board has been installed, up to 24 Insertion Effects for the Plug-in Voices will also be available. Details about each Effect Type are given in the Effect Type List in the separate Data List. Plug-in Voice THRU Insertion Effects Effects in Performance Mode In Performance Mode, you can use an Insertion Effects setting "borrowed" from ones respectively stored with Voices (Parts) . For Plug-in Parts, you can select and use an Insertion Effect setting "borrowed" from ones respectively stored with Plugin Voices. For Reverb and Chorus, you can create new settings dedicated for an entire Performance, without "borrowing" existing Reverb and Chorus settings stored with a Voice. In the following illustration, a mixer represents the logic behind how the different effects are applied to the sound in Performance Mode. Each Part (1 to 16) is fed to the mixer through either Insertion Effect 1 or Insertion Effect 2. The signals for all Parts are summed in the mixer and then the System Effects (Reverb and Chorus) are applied to the mix as a whole. 65
