VA-76 – Disk Utility
Below please find a list of the M-FX Types available on the VA-76. As stated on page 123, each type provides two param-
eters that can be controlled via the M-Value 1 and M-Value 2 sliders in the display. Parameters indicated with an asterisk
(*) can also be controlled via an optional footswitch. See “Rotary S/F” on page 191 for details. The “°” indicate the
assignment to the [M-FX] knob.
17. M-FX Types & controllable parameters
TONE COLOR (filter type)
01 Enhancer M-Val 1° Sens 0~127
M-Val 2 Mix 0~127
The Enhancer controls the overtone structure of the high frequen-
cies, adding sparkle and tightness to the sound.
02 Humanizer M-Val 1° Vowel a/i/u/e/o
M-Val 2 Level 0~127
This adds a vowel character to the sound, making it similar to a
human voice.

Small:
small amp
BltIn: single-unit type amp
2-Stk: large double-stack amp
3-Stk: large triple-stack amp
03 Overdrv1 (Small) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63~0~R63
Overdrive creates a soft distortion similar to that produced by tube
amplifiers. Several types of overdrive are available (see the names
between brackets).
04 Overdrv2 (Bltln) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63 ~0~ R63
05 Overdrv3 (2-Stk) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63~0~R63
06 Overdrv4 (3-Stk) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63~0~R63
07 Distort1 (Small) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63~0~R63
This effect produces a more intense distortion than Overdrive.
08 Distort2 (Bltln) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63~0~R63
09 Distort3 (2-Stk) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63~0~R63
10 Distort4 (3-Stk) M-Val 1° Drive 0~127
M-Val 2 Pan L63~0~R63
MODULATION EFFECTS (EXCEPT CHORUS)
11 Phaser M-Val 1° Manual 100Hz~8.0kHz
M-Val 2 Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
A phaser adds a phase-shifted sound to the original sound, produc-
ing a twisting modulation that creates spaciousness and depth.
12 Auto Wah M-Val 1° Manual 0~127
M-Val 2 Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
The Auto Wah cyclically controls a filter to create cyclic change in
timbre.
13 Rotary *M-Val 1° Speed Slow/Fast
M-Val 2 Level 0~127
The Rotary effect simulates the sound of a classic rotary speaker. The
unique type of modulation characteristic of these speakers is of a
striking realism. This effect is most suitable for electric organ.
14 StFlangr M-Val 1° Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Feedback -98% ~+98%
This is a stereo Flanger. It produces a metallic resonance that rises
and falls like a jet airplane taking off or landing.
15 SpFlangr M-Val 1 Feedback -98% ~+98%
M-Val 2° Step Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
A Step Flanger is an effect in which the Flanger pitch changes in
audible steps.
16 Tremolo1 (Tri)
(Triangular wave)
M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
Tremolo cyclically modulates the volume to add tremolo effect to the
sound.
17 Tremolo2 (Sqr)
(Square wave)
M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
18 Tremolo3 (Sin)
(Sine wave)
M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
19 Tremolo4 (Saw1)
(Normal saw wave)
M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
20 Tremolo5 (Saw2)
(“Flipped” saw wave)
M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
21 AutoPan1 (Tri) M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
The Auto Pan effect cyclically modulates the stereo location of the
sound.
22 AutoPan2 (Sqr) M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
23 AutoPan3 (Sin) M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
24 AutoPan4 (Saw1) M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
25 AutoPan5 (Saw2) M-Val 1° Mod Rate 0.05~10.0 Hz
M-Val 2 Mod Depth 0~127
DYNAMICS EFFECTS
26 Compress M-Val 1° Pan L63~0~R63
M-Val 2 Level 0~127
A compressor reduces signal peaks and boosts low levels, smoothing
out unevenness in volume.
27 Limiter M-Val 1° Pan L63 ~0~ R63
M-Val 2 Level 0~127
A limiter prevents the volume from exceeding a certain level (Thresh-
old) without boosting low levels.
