Using Effects to Modify the Sound (FX)
While editing an instrument will change the way in which the instrument itself produces sound, effects can modify the sound
produced by the instrument. You can use effects to create dramatic changes in the character of the sound.
As effect units, the HandSonic provides three multi-effect units (MFX1–3), ambience, and EQ.
Multi-Effects (MFX1–3)
The multi-effects are versatile effects that give you a choice of numerous effect types,
such as effects that distort, thicken, or cyclically modulate the sound. There are three
multi-effect units (MFX1, MFX2, MFX3), and you can set each unit to produce a different
effect.
For the instruments assigned to each pad, you can choose one of the MFX1–3 units for
it to use.
