Effect Block
This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block, and audio input block, processing and enhancing
the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change the sound as desired.
Effect Structure
System Effects—Reverb and Chorus
System Effects are applied to the overall sound. With System Effects, the sound of each Part is sent to
the effect according to the Effect Send Level for each Part. The processed sound (referred to as “wet”)
is sent back to the mixer, according to the Return Level, and output—after being mixed with the
unprocessed “dry” sound.
This instrument is equipped with the Reverb and Chorus as System Effects.
In addition, you can set the Send Level from Chorus to Reverb. This parameter is used to apply the
Reverb to the signals output from the Chorus. You can get the natural effect by applying the Reverb
depth to the Chorus sound with the same level as that of the dry sound.
Insertion Effect
Insertion Effects can be applied individually to each Part. Insertion Effects are mainly used to directly
process a single Part, Voice. Each Voice features one set of Insertion effects (A and B units). The
different Effects can be assigned to the A and B respectively on the Effect Parameter display (page 45)
of the Voice Edit.
This instrument features eight sets of Insertion Effects (each set has two units, A and B). They can be
applied to a maximum of eight Parts selectable from Parts 1 – 16 and A/D Input Part in the Multi mode.
Master Effect
This block applies effects to the final stereo output signal of the entire sound. Multiple Effect types are
available.
Element EQ
The Element EQ is applied to each Element of the Normal Voice and each key of the Drum Voice. You
can specify which shape is used among three types: Parametric EQ of 2-band shelving type,
Parametric EQ of 1-band peaking type and boost EQ. These parameters can be set only on the S90 XS/
S70 XS Editor.
Common EQ/Part EQ
The Part EQ, the 3-band parametric EQ, is applied to each Voice or each part of the Multi. The high
band and low band are the shelving type. The middle band is the peaking type. The Common EQ
parameters offset the settings of the Part EQ parameters.
Master EQ
Master EQ is applied to the final (post-effect), overall sound of the instrument. In this EQ, all five bands
can be set to peaking, or the lowest and highest bands can also be set to shelving.
