section is what you use for performing. The AX-Edge is equipped with a multi-effect for each tone (MFX), a multi-effect that can be specified for each program (IFX), and reverb, When you press or release the keyboard or press the modulation chorus/delay, compressor, and EQ effects that are applied to the final lever, the controller section sends performance data to the sound output (system effects). generator section. Reverb and chorus/delay can also be specified and selected for each The controller section of the AX-Edge consists of the keyboard, the program. MODULATION BAR, the RIBBON CONTROLLER, and the panel buttons and knobs. System Sound Generator Section System memory contains system parameter settings that specify how the AX-Edge is to operate. The sound generator section creates the sound. & “System Parameters” (p. 35) It receives performance data sent from the controller section, and produces sound. Program On the AX-Edge, “programs” are the units by which you switch sounds. A program consists of four parts and a vocoder part, and also contains arpeggio and effect settings for that program. Tone You can select one tone (sound) for each part. A tone consists of four elements of sound (partials), and you can specify a multi-effect (MFX) for each tone. You can also edit tones by using an editor app (AX-Edge Editor) on your smartphone. 5 EQ Master Master Compressor Output Rev Send Level Level IFX Program Cho/Rev Send How the AX-Edge Is Organized Is theAX-Edge How To Chorus/Reverb Sound Generator Chorus Reverb (Delay) IFX From each route From each route DRY DRY BlockDiagram Assign Assign Part Output Part Output Part Part To Chorus/Reverb To Chorus/Reverb Pan/Level Pan/Level EQ EQ Part Part Part Cho/Rev Send Part Cho/Rev Send 6 Eect Vocoder To Chorus/Reverb To Chorus To Reverb MFX MFX Cho/Rev Send * The Carrier Tone has theDRY same structure as a Tone.
