Save .MBJ files in the \YAMAHA\DATA directory. If a .MBJ file is in another directory, you cannot use it with
EffectGear.
EffectEdit has powerful sound sculpting capabilities. The graphic DSP editing features let you
easily make precise adjustments to the sound. Select another type of effect and try creating
your own original effect program.
EffectEdit Sample File
In addition to the preset .KPE files for EffectGear, the \YAMAHA\DATA directory includes
.KPE sample files as additional examples to help you understand the function of the
controllers, which will give you practical information before actually using EffectEdit. You
can easily make your own original files by editing a sample file that’s close to the effect
that you want to create.
