251 EFFECTS
Appendix
The TG500 features a sophisticated effect system that affords extraordinary
sound-shaping potential. It includes two separate effect processors — referred
to a EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 in this manual — that can be connected either
in series or in parallel via the effect “Mode” parameter (page 150 for voice
effects, page 178 for drum voice effects, page 76 for performance effects, page
204 for multi effects). In simplified block diagram form the serial and parallel
modes look like this:
The TG500 has 90 different effects including reverb, early reflections,
delay, pitch change, modulation and more. Any of these can be assigned to the
EFFECT 1 and EFFECT 2 processors via the “EF1 Type” and “EF2 Type”
parameters (page 151 for voice effects, page 179 for drum voice effects, page
77 for performance effects, page 205 for multi effects). Each effect has up to 8
different parameters that can be edited via the PARAMETER 1 and PARAM-
ETER 2 screens (page 156 for voice effects, page 186 for drum voice effects,
page 84 for performance effects, page 212 for song mode effects). A complete
list of the effects and their parameters is provided on page 274.
The 90 effects are further divided into three types:
Effects 00 - 30 ........ “Single”
Effects 31 - 60 ........ “Cascade”
Effects 61 - 90 ........ “Dual”
The “Single” effects are, as the name applies, single effects.
