samples.

them light up white.
The BUS 1 and BUS 2 effects are not applied to the samples of pads that are lit up white.
Sending the audio input from the INPUT jack to a bus
As with the samples, you can set the bus to which the playback audio signals coming into the INPUT jack are sent (meaning which
effects are used).
For details, refer to “
Sending the Audio Input from the INPUT Jack to a Bus (P.113)”.

You can select and use the effects you like for the MFX effects.

time.

The effect turns on, and the effect edit screen appears.
