Effect Block
This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block as well as audio input block,
processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change
the sound as desired.
Effect structure
System Effects are applied to the overall sound. 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 instrument is equipped with Variation and Reverb as System Effects. In addition, you can
set the Send Level from Variation to Reverb. This parameter is used to apply Reverb to the signals output
from the Variation. You can get a natural effect by applying Reverb depth to the Variation sound with the
same level as that of the dry sound.
Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each of specified parts before merging signals of all parts.
It should be used for sounds for which you want to drastically change the character. You can set different
Effect types to the Insertion Effects A and B for each Part. These settings can be set Part Edit  [Effect]
(page 67, page 122, page 136).
This synthesizer features 17 sets of Insertion Effects. They can be applied to 1 to 16 Parts (maximum) and
A/D Input Part.
This block applies effects to the final stereo output signal of the entire sound. Multiple Effect types are
available.
Element EQ is applied to each Element of the Normal Part (AWM2) and each key of the Drum Part. You can
specify one of three different EQ shapes, including shelving and peaking.
NOTE Element EQ does not affect the Input signals from the A/D INPUT [L/MONO]/[R] jacks.
This EQ is applied to a Part before and after the Insertion Effect.
Master EQ is applied to the final (post-effect), overall sound of the instrument. In this EQ, all five bands can
be set to peaking, with shelving being available also for the lowest and highest bands.
