EFFECTS The SY85 features a sophisticated effect system that affords extraordinary sound-shaping potential. It includes two separate effect processors - referred to a EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 in this manual - that can be connected either in series or in parallel via the effect "Mode" parameter (page - Yamaha SY85 | Owner's Manual (feature Reference) (image) - Page 256
The "Cascade" effects actually include two effects connected in a cascade configuration. Effect number 33 (Flg → Rev), for example, includes cascaded flanger and reverb. The illustrations here are not available. The "Dual" effects include two effects connected in parallel. The illustrations here are - Yamaha SY85 | Owner's Manual (feature Reference) (image) - Page 257
