Adding Effects

This is a stereo compressor (limiter) that is applied to the final output of the Fantom-Xa. It has independent high, mid, and low ranges.
Independently for the high-frequency, mid-frequency, and low-frequency regions, this compresses any sounds that exceed the specified level,
making the volume more consistent. When mixing down to MD, or DAT, or when you procedure your own original audio CD, this lets you
master at an optimized level.

*

Mastering effect settings apply to the entire Fantom-Xa. These settings are not for individual patches or performances.

*

The mastering effect is applied to the sound that is output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks. It will not be applied to the sound that is output from the
OUTPUT B jacks.
