Yamaha FX500B - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations!
You are the proud owner of a Yamaha FX500B BASS SIMUL-EFFECT
PROCESSOR. The FX500B takes advantage of unmatched Yamaha
digital signal processing technology to provide a chain of up to 6 different
effects with extensive programming capability. All important parameters
have been designed specifically to provide optimum matching with bass
guitars. You can easily create "custom" effect chains to suit your own
specific musical requirements. With programmable compressor,
overdrive, equalizer, modulation and reverbldelay effect stages, the
FX500B gives you a complete state-of-the-art signal-processing system in
one extraordinarily compact package. There are 30 superlative preset
effect programs designed specifically for bass that you can simply select
and use right away, and 30 RAM memory locations which can be used to
store original signal-processing sounds that you create using the
FX500B's broad-ranging programming features. For further versatility
and smooth integration with MIDI-based music systems, the FX500B
offers broad MIDI control capabilities. Any of its 60 memory locations
may be directly selected from a remote MIDI device such as a keyboard
or MIDI foot controller. It is also possible to directly control up to two
different effect parameters simultaneously in versatility, and the sound is
nothing less than superb.
Please read through this operation manual thoroughly while learning to
use your FX500B, in order to take full advantage of all the sophisticated
capabilities it provides — and keep the manual in a safe place for later
reference!
