VA-76 – Insertion effect (M-FX)
Selecting an M-FX type
Let us now have a look at how to select a different type
(effect) for the M-FX processor. Each type you select is
loaded with suitable preset settings that cannot be
edited on the VA-76 itself. You can, however, modify
two parameters per type via the [M-FX] knob on the
front panel and the two sliders on the M-FX Parame-
ters page (see page 121). See page 219 for a description
of the types and the controllable parameters.
1. Press and hold the M-FX [ON/OFF] button to
jump to the following display page:
If another field in the left column is displayed in white,
press the [M-FX] field.
2. If necessary, use the [o][k] fields to select another
set of 15 types.
3. Press the field that corresponds to the M-FX type
you need.
You may want to set the M-FX to Manual mode to
avoid accidental changes when you select another
Tone for the Upper1 part. See page 121.
M-FX Send: processing the M-FX with the other
effects
As you know, Keyboard parts that you assign to the
M-FX lose the Reverb, Chorus, and Delay Send capa-
bilities, while their [Equalizer] field also becomes
inactive.
You could, however, set these parameters for the M-FX
itself, in which case, the signal is processed as follows:
a) The signals of all Keyboard parts assigned to the
M-FX are combined and transmitted to the M-FX.
b) The M-FX processes these signals.
c) By setting the parameters below, you can process the
output signal of the M-FX with the Reverb, Chorus,
and Delay effects, and also route it through the Equal-
izer.
You probably know how to do the above, so we’ll leave
you to it. (If not, see pages 116 and 119.) Here’s how to
select these parameters:
1. On the above display page, press the [Param] field.
2. On the page that appears now, press the [k] field.
The display now looks more or less as follows:
3. Use the sliders, the [TEMPO/DATA] dial, or the
[DATA] button/Numeric Entry pad (see page 49) to
set the desired send values.
4. Press the [Default Value] field to reset all three slid-
ers to their factory setting (“40”, “0”, “0”).
5. Use the [Equalizer] field to divert the M-FX signal
to the EQ (white) or directly to the speakers and out-
puts (blue).
