Effect Guide
728
When FREE FOR VOICES is at 100%, you can achieve
the maximum polyphony–for instance, 172 voices of
the HD-1, 96 voices of the AL-1, or 172 voices of the
CX-3. When more effects or EXi fixed resources are
being used, polyphony will be reduced accordingly. Note: As with the meter as a whole, the number shown
in FREE FOR VOICES is only an approximation. For
example, if FREE FOR VOICES is showing 98, the
maximum polyphony for the HD-1 may not be exactly
172 × 0.98 (approximately 168).
The maximum polyphony will also depend on various
other parameters; for more information, see “A note
about polyphony” on page 32.
Effects in each mode
Program mode
With HD-1Programs, you can use insert effects to
process the final sound in the same way that you use
the Filter, Driver, Amplifier, and EQ (equalizer) to
process the sound from the oscillators (OSC 1 & 2).
Then the master effects are used to create overall
ambience such as reverb, and use the total effects to
make final adjustments. All of these settings can be
made independently for each program. EXi Programs
have a different filter and amp structure for each type,
but you can also apply insert effects, master effects,
and total effects to the oscillators (EXi1&2), just as for a
PCM program.
Combination, Sequencer mode
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use the
track EQ and insert effects to process the program
sound (and audio track sound) of each timbre/track.
Then you can use the master effects to create overall
ambience, and use the total effects to make final
adjustments.
In Combination mode you can make these settings for
each combination, and in Sequencer mode you can
make them for each song.
In Sequencer mode, you can switch between effects or
modify the effect parameters and record these changes,
so that effects will switch automatically or effect
parameters will be modified automatically as the song
plays back.
Sampling mode
In Sampling mode, external audio sources from
AUDIO INPUT 1, 2, 3, 4, and S/P DIF IN jacks or the
playback from the internal CD-R/RW drive or a USB-
connected CD drive can be processed by insert effects,
master effects, and total effects, and then sampled. Use
