For each of the three multi-effects, the chorus, and the

reverb, you can specify whether it will operate according to

the effect settings of the performance, or according to the

effect settings of the patch or rhythm set assigned to the part

you specify.

MFX-1–3 Source (Multi-Effects 1–3 Source)

Selects the multi-effects parameter settings that will be used

by the performance. If you wish to use the performance

settings, select “PRF.” If you wish to use the settings of the

patch/rhythm set assigned to one of the parts, select the part

number.

Value:

PRF, P1–P16

Multi-Effects Control

If you wanted to change the volume of multi-effects

sounds, the delay time of Delay, and the like, using an

external MIDI device, you would need to send System

Exclusive messages-MIDI messages designed

exclusively for the Fantom VS. However, System

Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the

amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get

quite large.

For that reason, a number of the more typical of the

Fantom VS’s multi-effects parameters have been

designed so they accept the use of Control Change (or

other) MIDI messages for the purpose of making

changes in their values. For example, you can use the

Pitch Bend lever to change the amount of distortion, or

use the keyboard’s touch to change the delay time of

Delay. The parameters that can be changed are

predetermined for each type of multi-effect.

In the multi-effect setting screen, a “c” symbol will be

shown at the left of the parameter.

The function that allows you use MIDI messages to

make these changes in realtime to the multi-effects

parameters is called the Multi-effects Control. Up to

four multi-effects controls can be used in a single patch/

rhythm set/performance.

When the multi-effects control is used, you can select

the amount of control (Sens parameter) applied, the

parameter selected (Destination parameter), and the

MIDI message used (Source parameter).

By using the Matrix Control instead of the Multi-

effects Control, you can also change the

parameters of some popular multi-effects in

realtime (p. 121).

Specifying the Effect Source

When Patch or Rhythm Set Settings Are Selected

When the patch or rhythm set’s multi-effects settings

are selected, those settings are shown in each of the

performance’s multi-effects setting screens, and the

settings can be then be changed as well. Changes to

patch or rhythm set multi-effects parameter settings are

lost when another patch or rhythm set is selected. To

keep the modified settings, save the settings.
