About the STEP RESET Function
04: Step Filter
18: Slicer
The above types contain a sixteen-step sequencer. For these types,
you can use a MFX CONTROL to reset the sequence to play from
the rst step. To do this, set the MFX CONTROL Destination to “Step
Reset.”
For example if you are using the modulation lever to control the
eect, you would make the following settings.
Parameter Value
Source CC01: Modulation
Destination Step Reset
Sens +63
With these settings, the sequence will play back from the rst step
whenever you operate the modulation lever.
Controlling a MFX via MIDI (MFX CONTROL)
You can use MIDI messages such as control change messages to
control the principal MFX parameters. This capability is called “MFX
CONTROL (multi-eects control).”
The parameters that can be controlled are preset for each MFX type,
and are the parameters marked by a “#” symbol in the following
explanations of each MFX parameter. Up to four multi-eects control
settings can be assigned using MFX 1–16.
To use MFX CONTROL, you’ll need to specify which MIDI message
(Source) will aect which parameter (Destination), and how greatly
(Sens).

Refer to the
parameters
marked “#” on
p. 94 and
following
Selects the multi-eect parameter
that will be controlled by control
source 1–4.
The type of parameters that can be
selected will depend on the type of
multi-eect you’ve selected in MFX
Type.
Sens (1–4) -63– +63
Species the depth of MFX CONTROL.
Specify a positive (+) value if you want
to change the value of the assigned
destination in a positive direction
(larger, toward the right, faster, etc.), or
specify a negative (-) value if you want
to change the value in a negative
direction (smaller, toward the left,
slower, etc.). Larger values will allow a
greater amount of control.
