VA-76 – Insertion effect (M-FX)
2. Press and hold the M-FX [ON/OFF] button to
jump to the following display page:
This page may look vaguely familiar (especially the left
column). There are indeed other ways of selecting this
page: via the [Mixer] field on the Master page, or via
the [EFFECTS] button (see page 112). But you then
need to press a few other fields before reaching this
page, so pressing and holding M-FX [ON/OFF] is def-
initely faster.
3. Check whether the M-FX [ON/OFF] button lights.
4. Press the [Param] field to jump to the following
page:
5.
Depending on the kind of parameters that can be
controlled, use the two fields in the left half of the dis-
play (called
Slow and Fast for the “13 Rotary” effect)
or the two M-Value sliders for realtime changes.
The parameters being controlled depend on the cur-
rently selected M-FX effect. See page 219 for details.
Here is an example: If you select the “15 SpFlangr”
type, the controllable parameters are
Feedback (M-
Value 1) and Step Rate (M-Value 2). You could also
press the [M-Value 1] or [M-Value 2] field and use the
[TEMPO/DATA] dial or the [DATA] button/Numeric
Entry pad. Press the [
Default Value ] field to recall the
factory setting for the currently active (white) parame-
ter.
Note: The current settings will also be written to a User
Program (along with all the other panel and parameter set-
tings).
Note: One M-Value parameter can be assigned to an
optional Expression pedal. See page 193 for details. This
allows you to control the “other” parameter (the one not
assigned to the [M-FX] knob) by foot.
Note: In the case of the Rotary effect, you can also toggle
between the “Slow” and “Fast” settings using an optional
FC-7 foot controller or a PAD button. See pages 193 and
194.
M-FX Selection Mode: automatic Tone link for
Upper1
The Upper1 part is considered to be the most impor-
tant part. The VA-76 therefore automatically loads the
M-FX type that is linked to the Tone you assigned to
the Upper1 part. A good example of this is the selec-
tion of the
13 Rotary type for organ Tones. The status
of the M-FX is also memorized and may thus change.
Though this is usually very convenient, there may be
times when you wish to remain in control yourself. In
that case, proceed as follows:
1. Press and hold the M-FX [ON/OFF] button.
2. On the page that appears now, press the [M-FX Sel
Mode] field.
The display now looks more or less as follows:
3.
Do one of the following:
a)
Press the [Auto] field if the VA-76 should choose a
suitable M-FX type for you.
b)
Press the [Manual] field if you do not want the M-
FX to change automatically.
Note that it is perfectly possible to activate [Auto], to
select a different M-FX type by hand, and to save that
setting to a User Program (see page 127).
Below please find the factory assignments (to program
change numbers, which means that they apply to all
CC00 and CC32 banks that are linked to these pro-
gram change numbers):
