Using Effects

Note: The Parameter Guide includes block diagrams
for each individual effect, which include the effect’s
input/output structure.
Effects in each mode
Program mode
For programs of HD–1, you can use insert effects to
process the final sound in the same way that you use
the Filter, Driver, Amplifier, and EQ (equalizer) to
process the sound from the oscillators (OSC 1 & 2).
Then the master effects are used to create overall
ambience such as reverb, and use the total effects to
make final adjustments. All of these settings can be
made independently for each program. Programs of
EXi have a different filter and amp structure for each
type, but you can also apply insert effects, master
effects, and total effects to the oscillators (EXi1&2), just
as for a HD-1 program.
Combination and Sequencer modes
In Combination and Sequencer modes, you can use the
track EQ and insert effects to process the program
sound (and audio track sound) of each timbre/track.
Then you can use the master effects to create overall
ambience, and use the total effects to make final
adjustments.
In Combination mode you can make these settings for
each combination, and in Sequencer mode you can
make them for each song.
In Sequencer mode, you can switch between effects or
modify the effect parameters and record these changes,
so that effects will switch automatically or effect
parameters will be modified automatically as the song
plays back.
Sampling mode
In Sampling mode, external audio sources from
AUDIO INPUT 1, 2, 3, 4, and S/P DIF IN jacks or the
playback from the internal CD-R/RW drive or a USB-
connected CD drive can be processed by insert effects,
master effects, and total effects, and then sampled. Use
the P0: Recording– Audio Input page to make audio
input settings for Sampling mode. These settings apply
only to Sampling mode.
Samples that you’ve assigned as a multisample can
also be processed by the insert effects, master effects,
and total effects, and then resampled.
Audio Input
You can also input audio sources from AUDIO INPUT
1, 2, 3, 4, and S/P DIF IN jacks in modes other than
Sampling mode (i.e., in Program, Combination, and
Sequencer modes).
You can apply the insert effects, master effects, and
total effects to external audio sources from these jacks
and sample them, or use the OASYS as a 6-in (AUDIO
INPUT 1, 2, 3, 4, S/P DIF IN L, R) 10-out effect
processor.
You can also use an external mic input to control a
vocoder effect (093: Vocoder), and modulate the
internal sounds. For examples, see “Example: Vocoder
(Program)” on page 731 of the Parameter Guide and
“Example: Rhythmic Vocoder (Combination)” on
page 732 of the Parameter Guide.
In Sequencer mode you can also use the effects when
recording external audio sources to audio tracks.
Use the P0– Audio Input/Sampling page of each mode
to make audio input settings. Alternatively, you can
check Use Global Setting and make these settings in
the Global mode P0: Basic Setup– Audio page.
Normally you will leave Use Global Setting checked.
