Eect type Eect Explanation
Tone eects
Multi-eect (MFX)
This is a general-purpose multi-eect that transforms the sound itself, giving it an
entirely dierent character. You can choose from 90 types as appropriate for your
needs.
These types include single eects such as distortion or anger, as well as a variety of
other types.
Each tone has settings for one multi-eect.
DRUM KIT COMP
A drum kit can use six compressor units. These can be assigned to individual drum
instruments.
A drum kit can be assigned to all zones, but the six compressor units for a drum kit
apply only to the specied one zone (the zone specied by Drum Kit Comp Zone).
PARTIAL EQ
This is an equalizer that can be applied to each partial of tone.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
KIT PARTIAL EQ (KIT PTL EQ)
This is an equalizer that can be applied to each drum inst.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
Scene (Zone) eects
Zone EQ
This is an equalizer that can be applied to each zone.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
Chorus
Chorus is an eect that adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.
This eect is common to all zones.
Reverb
Reverb is an eect that produces the reverberation that is characteristic of sounds
heard in a hall.
This eect is common to all zones.
Insert eect1 (IFX1)
These are general-purpose insert eects that can transform the sound itself, giving
it a completely dierent character.
There are 90 types, and you can select and use the type that’s appropriate for your
purpose. Use these when you want to apply a further eect in addition to the multi-
eect. The insert eects provide two independent eect units, IFX 1 and 2, and
you can make routing settings to connect IFX 1 and 2 in series or in parallel. These
eects are common to all zones.
Insert eect2 (IFX2)

FANTOM.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
