Chapter 3. Creating Your Own Sounds
Chapter 3
The display will graphically indicate the selected Structure.
The symbols displayed have the following meanings.
W1 (WG1), W2 (WG2), F1 (TVF1), F2 (TVF2), A1 (TVA1), A2
(TVA2), B (booster), R (ring modulator)
* If you select a Tone while in the Structure display, the Tone that
is paired with the selected Tone will also be selected.
* If a Structure 2–10 is selected, turning off one Tone will cause
the other Tone to be connected in the simple order of WG/TVF/
TVA.
Booster (Booster Gain)
If the Type parameter has been set to 3 or 4, you can adjust
how strongly the Booster will function. The Booster amplifies
the incoming signal, causing it to distort. This creates an
effect similar to the distortion often used on an electric
guitar.
■ Setting Effects for a Patch
(EFFECTS)
This group contains settings for the Multi-Effects/Chorus/
Reverb effects used by a Patch.
* If an “x” mark is displayed at the right of the display name, the
effect for that display has been turned off. Turn the
corresponding effect on before you make settings (p. 62).
OUTPUT
These parameters specify how the output of each Tone will
be sent to the effects.
* When the Type parameter (PATCH/COMMON/STRUCT) has
a setting of 2–10, the outputs of Tones 1 (3) and 2 (4) will be
combined with Tone 2 (4). This means that the setting for Tone
1 (3) will be ignored.
Output Assign (Output Assign/Output Level)
Select whether or not the output of each Tone will be sent
through Multi-Effects, and adjust the volume of each Tone.
MIX: Output the Tone to the OUTPUT jack without passing
through Multi-Effects.
EFX: Output the Tone to the OUTPUT jack through Multi-
Effects.
* If you select MIX, the settings in the PATCH EFX OUT
display (PATCH/EFFECTS) will be ignored.
Chorus (Chorus Send Level)
Adjust the amount of Chorus for each Tone.
Reverb (Reverb Send Level)
Adjust the amount of Reverb for each Tone.
PATCH EFX TYPE
Specify the Patch Multi-Effects.
Type (EFX Type)
Select the type of Multi-Effects. For details refer to “Multi-
Effects Types (EFX Parameter)” (p. 93).
PATCH EFX PRM (Patch EFX Parameters)
Set the various parameters of the selected EFX type. For
details refer to
“Multi-Effects Types (EFX Parameter)” (p.
93).
Ring Modulator
The Ring Modulator multiplies two Tones together,
creating a new sound that includes overtones
(inharmonic overtones) that were not present in either
of the two original Tones. Since the pitch difference
between the two Tones will change the overtone
structure, the result will be an unpitched metallic
sound. This is especially suitable for creating bells and
other metallic sounds.
