 Effect Signal Flow
*1: Click-track voices cannot be sent to effects.
*2: Using the VarSend(Dry) (Variation Send Level) parameter, you can set the required balance between the amount of the
signal that will bypass the effect (i.e., the dry level) and the amount that will be sent to the effect (i.e., the wet level).
*3: Effects cannot be applied to external audio input via the [AUX IN] port.
 Effects & Effect Categories
The various individual effects provided by this instrument’s
effect units are sorted into a number of different categories.
What follows is a description of each category and the effects it
contains. We recommend that you refer to these descriptions
whenever setting effects. Each category’s effect table indicates
which of the effect units – i.e., Reverb (Rev), Chorus (Cho), or
Variation (Var) – can be used to apply the effect in question.
Any effect marked using a  symbol can be selected and modi-
fied on the corresponding effect unit’s parameter setting pages.
 Compressor & EQ
The compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and
compress the dynamics (i.e., softness or loudness) of an
audio signal. In the case of vocals, guitar parts, and other
signals that have widely varying dynamics, this effect essen-
tially squeezes the dynamic range, making soft sounds
louder and loud sounds softer. Furthermore, a compressor’s
attack and decay characteristics can be adjusted to modify
how punchy or sustained an audio signal sounds. Multi-band
compression, meanwhile, splits the input into three different
frequency bands for processing independent of each other;
accordingly, this type of effect can be thought of as combin-
ing compression with equalization.
