8–2: Insert FX Setup

8–2a: Insert Effect

Here, you can choose the type of each insert effect 1 through
5, its on/off status, chaining, and adjust the post-IFX mixer
settings. For insert effects, the direct sound (Dry) is always
stereo-in and out. The input/output configuration of the
effect sound (Wet) depends on the effect type. For more
information, please see “Insert Effects (IFX1–IFX5)” on
page 276.

Insert Effect:

IFX1...4

[000...170]

IFX5

[000...153]

This selects the effect type for insert effect.

IFX5 cannot use double-size effects (154–170). If you use a
double-size effect, the next insert effect will be unavailable.
For example if you select a double-size effect for IFX1, you
won’t be able to use IFX2.

Category/IFX Select menu

When you press the popup button, the Category/IFX Select
menu will appear, letting you select effects by category. Use
the tabs to select a category, and then select an effect within
that category. Press the OK button to execute your selection,
or press the Cancel button to cancel.

IFX1...5: IFX On/Off

[Off, On]

Switches the insert effect on/off.

If this is off, the input will simply be passed to the output.
(When 000:No Effect is selected, there’s no difference
between On and Off.)

The setting will alternate between on and off each time you
press the button.

Separately from this setting, you can use MIDI CC #92
(on the global

MIDI Channel

(Global 1–1a))

to turn all

insert effects off. A value of 0 turns them off, and values
of 1–127 restore the original setting.

Chain:

IFX1: Chain to

[IFX2...IFX5]

IFX2: Chain to

[IFX3...IFX5]

IFX3: Chain to

[IFX4...IFX5]

You can chain up to five insert effects together in series, to
create more complex effects. Set up the chain using this
parameter, and then enable it using the

Chain

check box,

below.

Effects must be chained in ascending numeric order. For
example, IFX1 can be chained to any of IFX2 through IFX5,
and IFX2 can be chained to IFX3 through IFX5.

You can chain two or more effects into the same down-
stream effect. For instance, both IFX1 and IFX2 can be
chained to IFX5.

Effects can also join a chain in the middle. For instance, you
can chain IFX3 to IFX4 to IFX5, and then chain IFX2 to IFX5
as well.

The

Pan:#8

Bus (Bus Select)

Ctrl (FX Control Bus)

, and

Send1

settings apply only to the last effect in the chain.

However, any effect in the chain can be sent to the FX
Control buses.

IFX1: Chain

[Off, On]

IFX2: Chain

[Off, On]

IFX3: Chain

[Off, On]

IFX4: Chain

[Off, On]

This enables the chain, as set up by the

Chain to

parameter,

above.

Pan:#8:

Pan: #8 (Post IFX PanCC#8)

[L000...C064...R127]

Specifies the panning immediately after the insert effect.

You can use CC#8 to control this.

Bus:

Bus (Bus Select)

[Off, L/R]

Specifies the bus to which the signal will be sent
immediately after the insert effect.

L/R:

The signal will be sent to the L/R bus, which passes

through TFX and then goes to the AUDIO OUTPUT L/R
outputs. This is the default setting.

Off:

The signal will not be sent directly to the L/R outputs.

This setting is useful if you want to:

Use

Send 1

to route the signal entirely through the

master effects, without sending the dry signal to the
outputs.

Use the

FX Control Bus

to route the signal to an effects side-

chain, such as a gate or vocoder, without being heard
directly at the outputs.

Ctrl:

Ctrl (FX Control Bus)

[Off, 1, 2]

Sends the post-IFX signal to the FX Control busses. For more
information, please see “FX Control Bus” on page 65.

If you’re using

Ctrl (FX Control Bus)

as an input signal

for Vocoder etc., a feedback loop will occur if you
output to the same bus as specified here, and oscillation
will occur. Set this with care to avoid creating a loop.

Send1/2:

Send1

[000...127]

Send2

[000...127]

These adjust the level at which the post-IFX signal is sent to
master effects 1 and 2. This is valid if

Bus (Bus Select)

is set

to L/R or Off.

You can use CC#93 to control the Send 1 level, and
CC#91 to control the Send 2 level. The global MIDI
channel specified by

MIDI Channel

(Global 1–1a) is
