Adding Effects
This is a stereo compressor (limiter) that is applied to the final
output of the Fantom-X. 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-X. 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.
