1-3-8 Effect
The Effect unit applies Effects to the output of the tone generator block and audio input block,
processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting
you change the sound of the created Part as desired.
The unprocessed sound is called “dry” sound, and the processed sound is referred to as “wet.”
Curve Polarity Determines the Curve Polarity of the selected Curve type.
 uni (unipolar): Unipolar changes only in a positive direction or in a
negative direction from a base parameter value according to the
Curve shape.
 bi (bipolar): Bipolar changes in both of positive and negative
directions from a base parameter value.
Curve Ratio Determines the Curve ratio.
Curve Parameter Adjusts the Curve shape.
The number of Curve Parameters will change according to the Curve type.
Master Effect Master effects are applied to the final output signal of the entire sound.
System Effect System Effects are applied to the overall sound—for example, that of an
entire Part, an entire Performance, etc.
With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to the effect according
to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to
as “wet”) is sent back to the mixer, according to the Return Level, and
output—after being mixed with the unprocessed “dry” sound. This
arrangement lets you prepare an optimum balance of the effect sound and
the original sound of the Parts.
Insertion Effect Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified Parts
before merging the signals of all parts.
This should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change
the character. The Insertion Effect has A and B units and those units can
be separately set to different effects.
Side Chain/Modulator The Side Chain/Modulator uses the output from one track to control an
effect in a different track. You can specify the Effect type for activating the
feature so that input signals for Parts other than the selected Part or the
audio input signal can control the specified Effect.
This trigger is called either “Side Chain” or “Modulator,” depending on the
Effect Type.
Element Connection
Switch
Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each
individual Element of the current Normal Part (AWM2.)
Set this to Thru to bypass the Insertion Effects for the specified element.
Drum Key Connection
Switch
Determines which Insertion Effect (A or B) is used to process each
individual Key of the current Drum Part or determines that no Insertion
Effect is used.
Parameters can be set for each Drum Key.
Insertion FX Switch Determines whether or not each Insertion Effect (A or B) is applied.
