Reference Manual

3 – Effects

The Pocketstudio 5 contains two input effectors for
recording and one effector for the recorded audio
tracks on mixdown.

There are also two effects units built into the MIDI
tone generator. These cannot be used by the audio
effectors described here, and the audio signals cannot
be processed by the tone generator’s effects units.

Input effectors

The first two effectors (FX1 and FX2) are accessed
through the

EFFECTS

key.

NOTE

If this key is not lit, you will not be able to hear any
change made to these effects. Press and hold the key
for a second or two to turn it on and off.

Press the

EFFECTS

key momentarily to cycle

between the FX1 screen, the FX2 screen, and the cur-
rent screen.

Settings can be recalled from the preset area, edited,
and stored in a user area for future recall.

Both the FX1 and the FX2 have the same parameters
available:

With a further screen:

FXn

This shows the effector (FX1 or FX2) currently

being edited, and the name of the preset or user set-
ting (see below).

Ctgry

This shows the category of the currently

selected preset or user setting (see below).

Param

Each preset (or user setting based on a pre-

set) has one parameter which can be edited. The pos-
sible values of these parameters vary, depending on
the effect.

This parameter is set to affect the most characteristic
element of the effect. Accordingly, what this parame-
ter does to the sound depends on the preset.

Bank

Choose between the

Preset

bank (as

listed below) or any settings stored in the

User

bank.

In Level

This is the input level (the level of the sig-

nal fed to the effector after it has passed through the
level control on the front panel). You can set this
level between

and

127

Out Level

This is the output level of the effect to

the destination track(s). You can set this level
between

and

127

Switch

Turn the effect

off

with this set-

ting. Note that even if this setting is on, if the

EFFECTS

key is unlit, you will not hear the effector.

Write

Press the right cursor pad to write the current

parameter settings (the

Param

values only) to the

appropriate user area. There are 50 user areas (1
through 50) available for storage for each of the FX1
(these are referred to as

) and FX2 (referred to as

) settings.

First, set the name of the effect in the user area, with
the cursor pad and wheel, as described in the Getting
Started manual.

Then move to the next row, and select a user area to
store the setting in. If data has already been stored in
the user area, it will be overwritten.
