Multi-Effects (MFX)
Multi-effects provides 25 different Effect Types, each of
which let you apply a different effect. Described here is how
to enter the MFX-related settings.
Turning the multi-effects on/off
The multi-effects is turned on by pressing [MFX] and getting
the indicator to light. To turn it off, press the button again,
extinguishing the indicator.
* This lets you turn the effect on/off for all parts, regardless of
other settings.
Applying the multi-effects to individual
parts
Refer to the explanation of “Part MFX Switch” in “Modifying
the settings of each part” (p. 19).
Using the part buttons to turn the
multi-effects on/off
You can also turn the multi-effects on/off for an individual
part by holding down the D-FIELD function button [MFX]
and pressing the corresponding part button.
The multi-effects is on for parts whose part button is lit while

rhythm part to “RHY.” The setting can be changed from
“RHY” to “OFF,” but will always change from “OFF” to
“ON.”
