Layers, Splits, and Velocity
Switches
You can use keyboard regions and velocity to
switch between different tracks in a combination,
just as you can in a combination. For more details,
see “Layers, Splits, and Velocity switches”
(
Effects
Effects are covered in their own section of the
manuals, so we won’t go into too much detail
here. (
Insert Effect
You can make settings for the insert effect in the
MULTI 8: InsertFX page.
The output of each track can be sent to the insert
effect. You can use any type of effects, from distor-
tions and compressors to choruses and reverbs.
The Insert Effect can be routed to the main out-
puts, or to any of the individual outputs. (
Master Effects
You can make master effect settings in the MULTI
9: MasterFX page.
There are two Master Effects, which are accessed
through Sends 1 and 2. These are best-suited to
effects such as reverbs and delays, but you can use
them with any type of effect. (
Master EQ
You can make master EQ settings in the MULTI 9:
MasterFX page.
The master EQ is located immediately before the
(MAIN OUTPUT) L/MONO and R outputs. Use it
to adjust the overall tone. (

or change the Multi set’s name or category.

dialog box.
You can give the Multi set a descriptive name
using the on-screen keyboard. (

The text edit window will disappear, returning
you to the main Write dialog.

A message will ask you for confirmation. If you
are sure you want to write the program, press
the [MENU/OK] button once again.
The multi will be written (saved).
Control via MIDI
Multi mode enables the microX to function as a
MIDI tone generator that is controlled from the
connected computer to play ensemble music con-
sisting of multiple instrument parts. This mode
also permits you to use the microX as a GM tone
generator.
Parameters and performance data
A multi set consists of tracks 1–16, parameters
such as the multi set name, effect and arpeggiator
parameters, and a tempo setting.
