Routing effect settings
The insert effects, master effects, and total effect have 
the same structure in all modes, but the routing 
settings will determine how the oscillators of a 
program or the timbres of a combination or track of a 
song will be sent to each insert effect, master effect or 
total effect. In the pages that follow, we will explain 
how you can make routing settings and effect settings 
in each mode.
Program Effects settings
Routing
1. Access the Prog P8: IFX– Routing page.
2. Use Bus (IFX/Output) Select to specify the bus to 
which the oscillator output will be sent. If you 
want the oscillator output to be input to insert 
effect 1, choose IFX1.
L/R:
 The output will not be sent to the total effect. After 
bypassing the total effect, the sound will be sent to 
AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO and R.
IFX1–5:
 The output will be sent to insert effect IFX 1–5.
Off: 
Choose this if you want the signal to be connected 
in series to the master effects at the send levels 
specified by Send 1 (to MFX1) and Send 2 (to MFX2).
3. OSC MFX Send specifies the send level from each 
oscillator to the master effects.
This can be set only when Bus (IFX/Output) Select is 
either L/R or Off.
If Bus (IFX/Output) Select is set to IFX1–5, the send 
level to the master effects is set by Send1 and Send2 
(Insert FX Setup page) after the signal passes through 
the insert effects.
4. FX Ctrl sends the oscillator 1 and 2 output to the 
FX Control bus. Use this if you want the audio 
input to the effect to be controlled by a different 
sound.
You can use the two FX Control buses to control effects 
freely. For details, please see “FX Control Buses” on 
page 274 of the Parameter Guide.
Insert effects
5. Access the Prog P8: IFX– Insert FX Setup page.
6. Choose the effect type that you want to use for 
each insert effect IFX1–5.
When you press the popup button, all effects will be 
displayed, organized into ten categories. Use the pages 
located at the left and right to select a category, and 
choose an effect from the desired category on the 
display.
You can use the Copy Insert Effect menu command to 
copy effect settings from another program etc. Also, 
you can use Swap Insert Effect to exchange (for 
example) IFX1 and IFX5.
7. Press the On/Off button to turn on the insert 
effect.
Each time you press this button, the insert effect will 
toggle on/off. When Off, the result will be the same as 
when 000: No Effect is selected; the sound will be 
output without being processed by the insert effect.
8. Make Chain settings.
If the Chain check box is checked, the insert effect will 
be connected in series. Since the output of the oscillator 
is being sent to IFX1 in step 2, making settings as 
shown in the diagram step 6 would connect all five 
insertion effects IFX1 
→ IFX2 → IFX3 in series, so that 
these effects would be inserted into the output of the 
oscillator.
9. Make settings for Pan: #8
, Bus (Bus Select), Send 1, 
Send 2 and FX Ctrl for the sound after it has 
passed through the insert effects.
If you’ve specified a chain, the settings that follow the 
last IFX in the chain will be valid (except for FX Ctrl).
Pan: #8: 
Sets the pan of the IFX output.
Bus (Bus Select): 
Specifies the output destination. 
Normally you will set this to L/R. 
Send 1, Send 2:
 Sets the send levels to the master 
effects. For this example, set this to 127.
FX Ctrl:
 The FX Control Buses lets you create effects 
“sidechains.” Sidechains let you control an effect with 
one audio signal (the sidechain), while the effect 
processes a completely different audio signal. This is 
convenient for use with vocoders, compressors and 
limiters, gates, etc. For details, please see “FX Control 
Buses” on page 274 of the Parameter Guide.
