9. EFFECTS controls

This configures the three series of effects and EQ.
For the variations of each sound part, normally you use 
EFFECT in creating the sound, DELAY and REVERB for 
overall spatial processing, and the nine-band EQ to adjust the 
overall tonal character. Use VALVE DRIVE to give the sound a 
heavier or driving feeling.
These effects apply to the variations of all parts.

Note: 

Switching between variations on each part will have no 

effect on the settings.

Note: 

The settings for EFFECT, DELAY and REVERB are 

included in each scene. The settings change along with each 
scene. Note that VALVE DRIVE and EQ will not change.

EFFECT

1:

EFFECT button

Switches the effects on/off. 
(The button will light when effects are on.)

2:

EFFECT type button, LEDs

Select the effect type. The effect LED that you select will light 
up.

CHORUS

: Varies the delay time on the input signal to create a 

thicker or warmer sound.

PHASER

: Alters the phase of the sound to create a swelling 

effect. This is effective for electric pianos and other sounds.

FLANGER

: Creates a thick swelling sound and a sense of 

motion in pitch. This is effective for sounds that contain many 
overtones.

COMP

: A compressor effect that compresses the dynamic 

range of the input signal. Use compression to create a 
smoother sound with punch. This is effective for pianos and 
other sounds.

DRIVE

: Creates a heavier, distorted sound.

WAH:

Creates more shiny and muffled tones, by changing the 

frequency band to emphasize. You can control the effect using 
a pedal connected to the CONTROL jack.

Note: 

When you switch to a different effect, the factory default 

settings for that effect will be applied.

3:

EFFECT knob

Adjusts the effect that you select using the EFFECT type 
button.
The way the sound changes will differ, depending on the effect 
type and variation.



Turn the EFFECT knob to adjust the first function.
The depth of the LFO modulation will change.



Turn the EFFECT knob while pressing the EFFECT button 
to adjust the second function.
The speed of the LFO will change.

DELAY

The DELAY effect delays the sound, so that it plays after a 
certain interval (like an echo).

4:

DELAY button

Switches the delay on/off. (The button will light when on.)

Selecting the delay type



Hold down the EXIT button and press the DELAY button.



Press the KEY/LAYER 



, 



 buttons to switch the type.

The delay type will be shown in the VARIATION display 
of the KEY/LAYER part.

01. DELAY:

 This is a simple stereo delay.

02. CROSS:

 This is a stereo delay that bounces back and forth 

from left to right.

03. TAPE:

 This effect models the analog tape echo found on 

popular devices. The effect recreates the changes in tone from 
sound distortion and vibration produced by the rotation of 
magnetic tape and the motor. This offers a warm echo sound.

04. MOD DLY:

 This effect adds a pitch shift-type effect similar 

to a chorus effect to a delay, creating a swelling, wobbly delay 
sound.



Press the EXIT button to exit from type selection.

5:

DELAY knob

Adjust the amount of delay.
The way the sound changes will differ, depending on the effect 
type and variation.



Turn the DELAY knob to adjust the first function.
The depth of the delay will change.



Turn the DELAY knob while pressing the DELAY button to 
adjust the second function.
The amount of feedback will change.

* Note that you can adjust the delay time with the TAP TEMPO 

button.
