One last post about the MFX controls. In their edit page, AFTER you have selected which MFX’s you are going to use, you will find a range of a few parameters (sadly, not all) that you can select for the slider to adjust, and the range that the slider adjusts it. Here are a few examples of how it can be used…

You’ll notice that the most of the electric pianos with phasers on them, the MFX slider is set to Rate, so you can adjust the speed of the phaser in real time. This was a common technique back in the day,

Electric guitars run through the distortion often have the slider set to adjust final volume. This is because moving the main Part volume slider doesn’t really adjust the output of the effected sound, it just adjusts how loud the guitar is going INTO the amp. But the amp is compressing and distorting the sound so much, it doesn’t really affect the final volume much. Turning down the input at the Part slider simply makes the sound less distorted. But if you want lots of distortion but it not loud, you have to turn down the amplifier’s output, not the guitar. So you’d do it at the MFX slider….

That’s a couple, now every time you play a sound, wiggle the sliders and see what they do! Not every sound is affected much, but most do something. When you hear something, go to the MFX edit page and look at what it is set to. Gradually you’ll get an idea of how they can be used, then eventually you’ll come up with ideas about how YOU want to play with a sound’s effects while you are performing.

BTW, the same goes for those CC1/2 sliders. See what they do! Figure out how to use them. 🎹😎
