How the AX-Edge Is Organized
7
Effect
This unit has the following built-in effects.
Tone effects
(editable only in AX-Edge Editor)
Partial equalizer
(EQ)
This is an equalizer that you can apply to each partial.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-
frequency regions.
Multi effect
(MFX)
This is a general-purpose multi-effect that modifies the
sound itself, potentially giving it a completely different
character.
It provides 79 effect types, and you can choose the type that
suits your purpose.
In addition to types that consist of a single effect such as
distortion or flanger, it also provides a variety of other types.
Each tone has one set of multi-effect settings.
MEMO
Multi-effect settings are specified for each tone.
If you want to make multi-effect settings for a program (individual parts),
go to
“PROGRAM SOUND”
0
“MFX”
and change the
“FllwToneMfx”
setting to
“OFF”
Program effects
Part equalizer
(EQ)
This is an equalizer that you can apply to each part.
You can adjust this independently for the high, mid, and low-
frequency regions.
Insert effect
(IFX)
This is a general-purpose insert effect that modifies the
sound itself, potentially giving it a completely different
character.
It provides 79 effect types, and you can choose the type that
suits your purpose.
Use this when you apply a further effect in addition to the
multi-effect.
Vocoder effect
This is an effect that is provided for the vocoder part.
It lets you adjust the output sound of the vocoder.
System effects
Chorus/Delay
Chorus is an effect that gives depth and spaciousness to the
sound. This also includes a delay effect.
Reverb
Reverb is an effect adds the reverberation that is
characteristic of sound heard in a hall.
MEMO
Although chorus and reverb are system effects that are applied to
the overall output sound, they can also be specified for individual
programs. If you want to make these settings for individual programs,
go to
“PROGRAM SOUND”
->
“CHORUS”
or
“PROGRAM SOUND”
0
“REVERB,”
and change the
“Source”
setting to
“PRG”
Master Comp
Compressor compresses sounds that are louder than a
specified volume level, making the volume more consistent.
You can adjust this independently for the high, mid, and low-
frequency regions.
Master EQ
This is an equalizer that is applied to the overall output
sound.
You can adjust this independently for the high, mid, and low-
frequency regions.
Tone
Each tone has four sets (Partial 1–4) of OSC, Filter, AMP, LFO × 2, and
EQ settings, plus multi-effect (MFX) settings.
You can create sounds by combining the four partials.
Each partial can be turned on/off, letting you choose which partials
will produce sound.

OSC
(Oscillator)
This selects the waveform that is the basis of the sound, and
specifies how the pitch of the sound changes.
Filter
This specifies how the frequency components of the sound
change.
Amp
This specifies volume change and panning.
LFO
(Low Frequency Oscillator)
LFO stands for Low Frequency Oscillator; it’s a low-frequency
oscillator that cycles very slowly. It can output waveforms
such as sine wave, triangle wave, square wave, or sawtooth
wave.
By using the LFO to modulate another audio signal, you can
apply effects such as vibrato or tremolo.
