Overview
Vintage Keys has two stereo effects processors. When playing presets one at
a time the two processors can be programmed as part of the preset. When
the MIDI Mode is set to “multi,” the Vintage Keys uses a global effects
assignment (Master Effects). The diagram below shows how the effects are
integrated into the signal path using a parallel effects send/return model,
similar to a mixing console.
The Effects Sends
On a mixing console you can control the amount of signal each channel
Sends to the effect bus. This allows each channel to be placed in a slightly
different “sonic space” which creates an airy, open sound.
Vintage Keys uses this basic concept, but works in a slightly different
manner. There are four effects busses: Send1-Send4. Each preset or each
MIDI channel (you determine which), can be directed to one of the four
busses. Each effect processor has four Send Amounts which allow you to set
the wet/dry mix on each of the four busses going into the effect. A setting
of 0% is completely dry (no effect). A setting of 50% contains an equal mix
of affected and normal (dry) signal.
