Using Effects

In the ﬁnal stage of programing, you can set the effects parameters to further change the sound’s character.

Effect structure

The S90’s effect processing features the following

effect units.

■ System Effects (Reverb, Chorus, Variation)

System Effects are applied to the overall sound,

whether it be a voice, an entire performance setup, a

song, etc. 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 arrangement lets you

prepare an optimum balance of the effect sound and

the original sound of the parts.

Reverb

The Reverb effects add a warm ambience to the sound,

simulating the complex reﬂections of actual

performance spaces, such as a concert hall or a small

club. A total of 12 different Reverb types are available.

Chorus

The Chorus effects use modulation to create a rich

ensemble sound — as if one part were being played by

several instruments simultaneously. A total of 25

different Chorus types are available.

Variation

The Variation effects provide a wide variety of sound

transformations and enhancements. A total of 25

different Variation types are available. Variation is not

available in the Voice mode.

■ Insertion Effects (1, 2)

Insertion effects can be applied individually to each

part. Insertion effects are mainly used to directly

process a single part. The depth of the effect is

adjusted by setting the dry/wet balance. Since an

Insertion effect can only be applied to one particular

part, it should be used for sounds you want to

drastically change. You can also set the balance so that

only the effect sound is heard, by setting Wet to 100%.

The S90 features two Insertion effect systems — one

with a total of 104 internal effect types and the other

with 25.

■ Plug-in Insertion Effects

This is a special effect system, only available when an

effect-type Plug-in Board (page 22) is installed. Plug-in

Board effects are not available in the Voice mode.

■ Master Equalizer

Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound

output from amps or speakers to match the special

character of the room. The sound is divided into

several frequency bands, then by raising or lowering

the level for each band, the correction is made.

Adjusting the sound you play according to the genre—

classical music being more reﬁned, pops music more

crisp, and rock music more dynamic—can also serve to

draw out the special characteristics of the music and

make your performance more enjoyable.

The S90 possesses a high grade ﬁve-band digital

equalizer function. The four sliders can be used to

adjust the gain of the four bands (among ﬁve).

Example of Effect Settings

Here we’ll show an example of editing effect settings

in the Voice Edit mode (page 60). In this example,

we’ll change the Insertion1 setting of the Voice Or:

BreathPipe (PRE1: E13) from Thru to FLANGER

(a jet-like sound).

1 Select the Voice Number of the Voice you wish to

edit (Here, Or: BreathPipe=PRE1: E13), then

enter the Voice Edit mode (pages 36 and 60).

2 Press the [COMMON] button to select the

Common Edit display (page 61).

3 Press the [F6]→[SF1] buttons to call up the

CONNECT display.

4 Use the [▲ ▼ EF] button to select the INS1

(INS1 Type) screen.
