Using the effects
The EMX-1 contains three separate effect processors. For each pattern, you can
use up to any three of the sixteen effect types. The sound of each part can be sent
to any one of the effect processors. You can also change the way in which the three
effects are connected to each other, and in this way apply more than one effect to
a part.
To apply an effect
1. Either begin playback, or if you are editing a synth part, turn the
KEYBOARD key on (lit) so that you can play the sound.
2. Press a drum or synth part key to select the part to which you want
to apply an effect.
3. In the edit section / part common area, press the FX SELECT key to
select the effect processor that you want to use. Press the FX SEND
key (lit) to send the sound of that part to the selected effect proces-
sor.
4. In the edit section, press the effect FX CHAIN key to select how the
effects will be connected.
You can turn effects on/off individually for each part. However if two
or more parts are being sent to the same effect, you cannot change
the effect type or effect parameter values individually for each part.
