Internal Design Effects The effect processor built into your DTX-MULTI 12 applies special audio effects to the output from the tone generator in order to modify and enhance its sound in a wide variety of ways. Normally applied during the final stages of editing, such effects allow you to optimize the sound in line with your own specific requirements. ■ Effect Processor Structure This instrument can apply effects to the tone generator's output using the following four effect units. ● Variation Variation effects allow you to sculpt your sound in a variety of different ways. A specific type of variation effect can be selected for each kit within the VARIATION section (KIT4); furthermore, you can also specify the degree to which this effect is applied to each layer on the Variation Send page (VCE4-1). ● Chorus Chorus effects change the spatial characteristics of the sounds to which they are applied. A specific type of chorus effect can be selected for each kit within the CHORUS section (KIT5); furthermore, you can also specify the degree to which this effect is applied to each layer on the Chorus Send page (VCE4-2). ● Reverb Reverb effects add a warm ambience to sounds, simulating the complex reflections of actual performance spaces, such as a concert hall or a small club. A specific type of reverb can be selected for each kit within the REVERB section (KIT6); furthermore, you can also specify the degree to which this effect is applied to each layer on the Reverb Send page (VCE4-3). NOTE • The degree to which User patterns are processed by these effect units can be specified on the Variation Send page (PTN3-5), the Chorus Send page (PTN3-6), and the Reverb Send page (PTN3-7); furthermore, these settings can then be saved as part of the User pattern data. ● Master EQ Processing the overall instrument sound just before output, the Master EQ supports five-band equalization. As this equalization is applied to the sound of the entire instrument and not that of individual drum kits or voices, Master EQ settings do not change whenever a new drum kit is selected. To set the corresponding parameters, use the parameter-setting pages from the UTILITY setting area's MASTER EQ section (UTIL3). ■ Effect Connection AUX IN *2 VCE4-1 MIDI3-5 Var(Dry) (Dry line) (Wet line) KIT4 VARIATION VARIATION KIT4-3 VarPan Pan KIT4-2 VarReturn *1 Dry signal KIT3-1 VCE4-2 MIDI3-6 ChorusSend KIT4-4 VarToRev KIT3-2 VCE4-3 MIDI3-7 ReverbSend KIT4-5 VarToCho KIT5 CHORUS CHORUS KIT5-3 ChoPan Pan KIT5-2 ChoReturn UTIL3 MASTER EQ *4 Master EQ *3 KIT5-4 ChoToRev KIT6 REVERB REVERB KIT6-3 RevPan Pan KIT6-2 RevReturn *1: Click-track voices cannot be sent to effects. *2: On the Variation Send page (VCE4-1), you can set the required balance between the amount of the signal that will bypass the effect (i.e., the dry level) and the amount that will be sent to the effect (i.e., the wet level). *3: Master EQ is not applied to the headphone output. *4: External audio signals (AUX IN) bypass all effects. 36 Owner's Manual
