6. THE EFFECTS SECTION
6.1. DESCRIPTION
The parts played by the user can be enriched and made more realistic and
enjoyable by having them elaborated by the digital effect processors (DSP) inside the
instrument; you can select an effect for each 1ST and 2ND parts, and an overall
ambience simulation effect (reverberation), acting on all the three user parts. It is
possible to insert and adjust the effects acting on the buttons pointed out in the figure
below, which are found on the right of the timbres selection buttons.
Using the three buttons in the lower row (SECTION EFFECTS), you can set a
CHORUS or TREMOLO effect, or another effect of your choice, separately for the 1ST
and 2ND parts; pressing and holding the C.EFF2 button, in fact, you can see a
pop-up
selection window on which you can choose the desired effect, setting its main
parameters. In the same way, pressing and holding the CHORUS or TREMOLO
buttons, you can adjust the related effect as you like, increasing or decreasing the
parameters values. Please look at the table on Paragraph 6.2, where you will find a list
of the available effects and the related parameters.
In the upper row (GLOBAL EFFECTS) you can set the whole reverberation
effect. This one may be configured to simulate an auditorium (HALL), a smaller area as
a room (ROOM), or even an ambience of your choice, pressing the C.EFF1 button. As
we have seen in the previous case, pressing and holding the selected effect button, you
can have access to the parameters programming: in this way you can set, for instance,
the reverberation time, in order to simulate a room with lower or higher acoustic
absorption. The table displayed on Paragraph 6.3 lists the choices available for the
reverberation ambiences.
The effects send, finally, may be set separately for the 1ST, 2ND and MANUAL
BASS parts, just pressing and holding the selection key of the related timbre: the higher
is the
Send value, the higher sound level will be sent to the effect.
