Basic Structure Internal Structure (System Overview) Effect Block This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block, processing and enhancing the sound using sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) technology. Effect structure The effect processing of this synthesizer features the System Effects, Insertion Effects, Master Effect, Part EQ (Equalizer), and Master EQ (Equalizer). ■ System Effects (Reverb, Chorus) System Effects are applied to the overall sound, whether it be a Voice, Performance, Song, and Pattern. With System effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the effect according to the effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to as "wet") is sent back to the mixer, according to the Return Level, and output-after being mixed with the unprocessed "dry" sound. This arrangement lets you prepare an optimum balance of the effect sound and the original sound of the Parts. Reverb The Reverb effects add a warm ambience to the sound, simulating the complex reflections of actual performance spaces, such as a concert hall or a small club. A total of 20 different Reverb types are available. Chorus The Chorus effects use various types of modulation processing, including flanger and phaser, to enhance the sound in a variety of ways. A total of 49 types are available, including reverb and delay effects. ■ Insertion Effects A, B Insertion effects can be applied individually to each part. Insertion effects are mainly used to directly process a single part. The depth of the effect is adjusted by setting the dry/wet balance. Since an Insertion effect can only be applied to one particular part, it should be used for sounds you want to drastically change or for sounds that use an effect unintended for other sounds. You can also set the balance so that only the effect sound is heard, by setting Wet to 100%. This synthesizer features three sets of Insertion effects (one set has A and B units). They can be applied to three Parts (maximum) of the Performance, Song, and Pattern. A total of 116 different Chorus types are available. n In the Voice mode, only one set of the Insertion effects is available. ■ Master Effect This block applies effects to the final stereo output signal of the entire sound. A total of 8 different Master Effect types are available. Bypassing the Effects (Effect Off) You can bypass the Master Effect by turning on the [MASTER EFFECT] button with a single touch. The System Effect(s) or Insertion Effect(s) can be bypassed by turning on the [EFFECT BYPASS] button. n From the following display, you can select the specific effect(s) to be bypassed with the [EFFECT BYPASS] button. [UTILITY] → [F1] GENERAL → {SF3] EF BYPS Controlling the Master effect by using the Knobs When pressing the [ARP FX] button and the [EQ] button simultaneously (both lamps light), you can control the knobs to adjust the Master effect related parameters specified in the [UTILITY] → [F4] CTL ASN → [SF5] MEF display of the Utility mode. 140 Owner's Manual

Basic Structure
Effect Block
This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block, processing and enhancing the sound using
sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) technology.
Effect structure
The effect processing of this synthesizer features the
System Effects, Insertion Effects, Master Effect, Part EQ
(Equalizer), and Master EQ (Equalizer).
■
System Effects (Reverb, Chorus)
System Effects are applied to the overall sound, whether it be
a Voice, Performance, Song, and Pattern.
With System effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the
effect according to the effect Send Level for each Part. The
processed sound (referred to as “wet”) is sent back to the
mixer, according to the Return Level, and output—after
being mixed with the unprocessed “dry” sound. This
arrangement lets you prepare an optimum balance of the
effect sound and the original sound of the Parts.
Reverb
The Reverb effects add a warm ambience to the sound,
simulating the complex reflections of actual performance
spaces, such as a concert hall or a small club. A total of 20
different Reverb types are available.
Chorus
The Chorus effects use various types of modulation
processing, including flanger and phaser, to enhance the
sound in a variety of ways. A total of 49 types are available,
including reverb and delay effects.
■
Insertion Effects A, B
Insertion effects can be applied individually to each part.
Insertion effects are mainly used to directly process a single
part. The depth of the effect is adjusted by setting the dry/wet
balance. Since an Insertion effect can only be applied to one
particular part, it should be used for sounds you want to
drastically change or for sounds that use an effect unintended
for other sounds. You can also set the balance so that only the
effect sound is heard, by setting Wet to 100%.
This synthesizer features three sets of Insertion effects (one
set has A and B units). They can be applied to three Parts
(maximum) of the Performance, Song, and Pattern.
A total of 116 different Chorus types are available.
n
In the Voice mode, only one set of the Insertion effects is available.
■
Master Effect
This block applies effects to the final stereo output signal of
the entire sound. A total of 8 different Master Effect types are
available.
Bypassing the Effects (Effect Off)
You can bypass the Master Effect by turning on the
[MASTER EFFECT] button with a single touch. The System
Effect(s) or Insertion Effect(s) can be bypassed by turning
on the [EFFECT BYPASS] button.
n
From the following display, you can select the specific
effect(s) to be bypassed with the [EFFECT BYPASS] button.
