Master Effects
Effects Mode This control provides a true bypass of the effects engine. Bypass is a useful 
feature if you are using external effects at the mixing console and want to 
turn the effects off for all presets.
 To Bypass the Effects:
1. Press the Global menu button. The LED lights and the last Global 
parameter screen used is displayed.
2. Use the data entry control to select the Effects Mode screen.
3. Use the cursor button to advance the cursor to the bottom line in the 
screen.
4. Use the data entry control to change the value. 
5. Press the Enter key to save the settings.
The Effects Mode values are “enabled” and “bypassed.” Enabling the Effects 
Mode turns on effects. Selecting “bypassed” turns off the effects.
Flexible Effects 
Control
The effects processor controls are very flexible. The effects can be controlled 
in three different ways to suit your personal preference and to adapt to 
different situations.
When in Omni or Poly mode, effects are normally programmed as part of 
the preset. In Multi mode, the two effects processors can be controlled 
using the Master settings or by using the effects settings of a preset on a 
specific MIDI channel. Effects can be programmed in the following ways:
You can create special 
“Effects Presets” which are 
assigned to the FX Multi mode 
Control channel, then use 
standard MIDI Program Change 
commands to switch effects 
during sequence playback.
1. Programmed as part of the preset when playing single presets 
(Omni or Poly Modes).
2. Programmed from the Master Effects Section when playing 
either single presets (preset Effect Type set to “Master”) or 
when in Multi Mode. This is the typical mode when using the 
sequencer because the master effects settings are saved with 
each pattern.
3. Programmed from the designated control preset when in Multi 
Mode.
