Adding effects to the VariPhrase part
Though already amazingly flexible by itself, the Vari-
Phrase part can even be enhanced using two dedicated
effects. These Reverb and Chorus effects operate inde-
pendently from the “main” Reverb and Chorus effects.
In many instances, the Reverb effect is already
switched on but let’s go through the motions.
Note: The VariPhrase part’s assignment to the OUTPUT 1
sockets cannot be changed. This means that the following
effects are always available. (The other parts can also be
assigned to the OUTPUT 2 sockets, in which case they are
no longer processed by the internal effects.)
Reverb and Chorus depth
1. Activate the VariPhrase part (see page 45) and
switch off all other parts (see page 36).
Note: The following affects the VariPhrase part – not just
the currently selected phrase. Thus, if you select another
phrase at a later stage, it will use the effects settings you
make here.
2. Press the [EFFECTS] button.
3. On the display page that appears now, press the
[Keybrd Mixer] field.
The display now looks as follows:
4. Press the [Reverb] field if it is not displayed in
white.
5. Move the leftmost slider ( ) while playing on the
keyboard and listen to how the sound changes.
Note: If the VariPhrase part is not displayed, press the [o]
field several times.
Let us now add some Chorus to the VariPhrase part.
6. Press the [Chorus] field in the left column.
The display now changes to:
7. Again use the leftmost slider to increase or decrease
the Chorus depth while playing a few notes on the
keyboard.
Note: See page 124 for how to select another Reverb and/or
Chorus type.
Single Part/Palette
Suppose you are finalizing a new song. All settings are
ready (Music Style, tempo, Keyboard part Tones, etc.).
The only thing that’s missing are the effects settings
that sound just right for the VariPhrase part. On the
pages shown so far, you always see the Reverb/Chorus
depth settings of other parts as well.
That may not always be to your liking, because you
wish to concentrate on the VariPhrase (or any other)
part. In that case, proceed as follows:
1. On any of the above pages, press the [Single Part]
field.
The display now changes to:
2. Use the [i][m] fields to select this page if the
name in the upper left corner does not read “
”.
You can now press the [Reverb] or [Chorus] field and
use the slider in the right column to change the Reverb
or Chorus depth.
Note: You can also use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial and the
Numeric Pad page (see page 49).
3. Press the [Palette] field to return to the “mixer”
pages of steps (3) and (6).
[Single Part] and [Palette] are also available for the
other effects and parts.
