PROG 9: Ed–MasterFX

☞For details on master effects, refer to p.97 “6. Effect

Guide.”

9–1: Setup

Here you can select the master effect types, switch them on/
off, specify chain order, and set the master EQ.

9–1a: Master Effect Setup

The master effects do not output the direct sound (Dry). The
return level (“Rtn 1, 2”) sends the effect sound (Wet) to the L
and R bus, and this is mixed with the direct sound (“BUS
Select” L/R: 8–1a, 8–2a).
The master effects are monaural input. The sound that is
panned to L and R after passing through the oscillator and
insert effect is mixed to a monaural signal as adjusted by the
“S1 (Send1(MFX1))” and “S2 (Send2(MFX2))” levels, and
input to the master effects.

The master effects are mono-in stereo-out. Even when
a stereo-input type effect is selected, the input will be
monaural.

MFX1 On/Off, MFX2 On/Off

[Off, On]

Switches master effect 1, 2 on/off. When off, the output will
be muted.

Separately from this setting, you can use CC#94 to switch
master effect 1 on/off, CC#95 to switch master effect 2
on/off. A value of 0 will be off, and a value of 1–127 will
be the original setting. This is controlled on the global
MIDI channel “MIDI Channel” (GLOBAL 1–1a).

Master Effect 1, 2

[00...89: name]

Indicates the effect type for master effect 1, 2. You can select
from 89 types of effect: 01: St.Amp Sim–89: Reverb-Gate. If
00: No Effect

is selected, the output from the master effect

will be muted.

Rtn 1, 2 (Return 1, 2)

[000...127]

Adjusts the return levels from the master effects to the L/R
bus (main output L/MONO, R).

Signal (Chain Signal) [L/R Mix, L Only, R Only]

When chain is On, this parameter specifies how the stereo
output signal of the first master effect will be connected to
the input (mono) of the next master effect.

L/R Mix:

The stereo output L/R of the first master effect will

be mixed before being input to the next master effect.
L Only, R Only:

Only the left or right channel of the output

will be input to the next master effect.

Level (Chain Level)

[000...127]

Sets the send level from the first master effect to the next
master effect when chain is turned on.

9–1c: Master EQ Gain [dB]

Sets the amount of cut and boost for the three-band EQ
located immediately before the (MAIN OUTPUT) L/MONO
and R jacks. This is linked with the various “Gain” parame-
ters of Master EQ (9–4).

Low

[–18.0...+18.0]

Mid

[–18.0...+18.0]

High

[–18.0...+18.0]
