Effect Priority Guidelines
Reverb and Chorus are global effects. In other words, all of the Parts and the Accompaniment Style
must share the same Reverb and Chorus type. However each of these Parts can have a different
amount of Reverb and Chorus applied to them. In addition Reverb and Chorus can be independently
turned on/off for each part. However, since the CP’ s EFFECT section can only have one Effect
turned on at a time (in addition to the REVERB and CHORUS), what happens if you have two (or
more) Parts active, with entirely different sounds, each with a different Effect setting?
In these cases, the CP’s Effects section can only use the Effect settings for one of the Parts. The
EFFECT section chooses which Effect settings to use based upon a predetermined priority order
for each of the Parts. The Priority order is RIGHT 1> RIGHT 2 > LEFT/SPLIT . The preset effect
settings for the Priority Part will be used and the other Parts will either share these settings or may
have their Effects automatically turned off.
This “Priority Part” depends on the current situation. If you only have one Part active, regardless
of which Part it is, the preset effect settings for that sound will be used. If you have two or more
Parts active, then the CP will treat one of them as the Priority Part, and ignore the settings of the
other(s).
If th eEffect For Sound is set to “Panel” in the System then the Preset effect settings for each Sound
will be ignored and the Part Priority will be ignored. (See Effect For Sound on page 113).
Here are some guidelines for Effect Priority:
• Priority is given to the Parts in the following order: RIGHT1>RIGHT2>LEFT . This means that
anytime the RIGHT1 Part is active, its Effect settings will be used, not only for its sound but for
any sound in any other Part, that you want to add effects to. Likewise, the only time an active
LEFT Part’s settings will be applied is if the other 2 Parts are inactive.
• Unlees you change them, the Effect settings will only change in response to a change in the
Priority Part being activated/deactivated, or a new sound is assigned to an active Priority Part.
In the latter case, the new Effect settings will reflect the Preset effect settings for the new
sound.
• When the Effect settings change for the Piority Part, the Effects will be automatically turned off
for the other Parts. (This is so that your Flute sound on RIGHT2 doesn’t suddenly get effected
by the Distortion settings of the Electric Guitar that you’ve just assigned to the RIGHT1 Part!)
• You can, however , turn the effect on for any Part by adjusting the Effect On/Off option in the
display for that Part.
