Internal Structure (System Overview)

Effect Block

This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block, processing and enhancing the sound using
sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) technology.

Effect structure

The effect processing of this synthesizer features the
System Effects, Insertion Effects, Master Effect, Part EQ
(Equalizer), and Master EQ (Equalizer).
System Effects (Reverb, Chorus)
System Effects are applied to the overall sound, whether it be
a Voice, Performance, Song, and Pattern.
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.
Reverb
The Reverb effects add a warm ambience to the sound,
simulating the complex reflections of actual performance
spaces, such as a concert hall or a small club. A total of 20
different Reverb types are available.
Chorus
The Chorus effects use various types of modulation
processing, including flanger and phaser, to enhance the
sound in a variety of ways. A total of 49 types are available,
including reverb and delay effects.
Insertion Effects A, B
Insertion effects can be applied individually to each part.
Insertion effects are mainly used to directly process a single
part. The depth of the effect is adjusted by setting the dry/wet
balance. Since an Insertion effect can only be applied to one
particular part, it should be used for sounds you want to
drastically change or for sounds that use an effect unintended
for other sounds. You can also set the balance so that only the
effect sound is heard, by setting Wet to 100%.
This synthesizer features three sets of Insertion effects (one
set has A and B units). They can be applied to three Parts
(maximum) of the Performance, Song, and Pattern.
A total of 116 different Chorus types are available.
n
In the Voice mode, only one set of the Insertion effects is available.
Master Effect
This block applies effects to the final stereo output signal of
the entire sound. A total of 8 different Master Effect types are
available.
