Basics Section Effects In the final stages of programming, you can set the effects parameters to further change the sound's character. In general, System Effects apply to the overall sound, whether it is a Voice, a Multi. Insertion Effects, on the other hand, can be applied individually to each Voice. The S03 has two System Effect sections (Reverb and Chorus) plus a Variation Effect section (see below). Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in the Voice mode) and per Multi (in the Multi mode), though the connection between the Effect sections will vary in each case. Reverb Section The Reverb section includes a selection of 11 different reverb-type effects, including realistic simulations of the natural reverberation found in various halls and rooms. In the Multi mode, the Reverb settings will apply to the Multi as a whole. In the Voice mode, the Reverb Send parameter can be set for each Voice. Chorus Section The Chorus section includes a selection of 11 chorustype effects, including a flanger and others. Most of these effects are ideal for adding thickness to the sound. In the Multi mode, the Chorus settings will apply to the Multi as a whole. In the Voice mode, the Chorus Send parameter can be set for each Voice. Variation Effects A total of 42 different Effect types are available in the Variation section. These range from conventional effects such as Reverb, for enhancing the sound, to wilder effects such as Distortion, for actively changing the sound, or creating new sounds. n For details about each Effect Type, refer to the Effect Type List in the separate Data List. System and Insertion Effects The S03 effects sections can be designated as either System or Insertion effects. Reverb and Chorus are always System effects, which means they can be applied to any or all Parts. The Variation effect can also be a System effect, or it can be designated as an Insertion effect, which means it can be dedicated to a specific Part. Basically, S03 System and Insertion effects work the same way as in a sound mixer, as shown in the diagram on the next page. For example, System effects can be applied to instruments (i.e., Parts) which are connected to the various mixer channels; the amount of each System effect is determined by channel "send" and system "return" level controls. An Insertion effect can be connected ("inserted") into the signal flow of a specific channel in order to process the sound of that instrument (i.e., Voice/ Part) only. In the Voice mode of the S03, the Insertion effect (Variation) can be applied to a Voice, while in the Multi Play mode it can only be applied to a single Part. The System and Insertion effect configurations can be controlled in detail by XG song data (signified by the XG mark) when the S03 is in the Multi Play mode. 53
