What is the Difference Between the Various Effect Routing Options?

The JV-2080 has five independent effects processors: three insert effects plus reverb and chorus. The effects parameters for each of these processors can be chosen per Performance. Each of the 16 Parts in a Performance can be routed through these processors if desired. There are nine options for routing Parts through the built-in effects processors:

MIX: Routes the sound to the MIX L&R outputs without using the EFX (insert) processors.

Fx-A Routes the sound to MIX L&R outputs with the EFX (insert) A processor.

Fx-B Routes the sound to MIX L&R outputs with the EFX (insert) B processor.

Fx-C Routes the sound to MIX L&R outputs with the EFX (insert) C processor.

DI1 Routes the sound to the DIRECT1 L&R outputs without the EFX (insert) processors.

DI2 Routes the sound to the DIRECT2 L&R outputs without the EFX (insert) processors.

Pt-A Uses the Patch’s output settings to determine the above mentioned routing for EFX (insert) A. This allows for individual routing per Tone.

Pt-B Uses the Patch’s output settings to determine the above mentioned routing for EFX (insert) B. This allows for individual routing per Tone.

Pt-C Uses the Patch’s output settings to determine the above mentioned routing for EFX (insert) C. This allows for individual routing per Tone.

The difference between the Fx and Pt output assignments is that Fx looks to the Performance settings to determine the EFX parameters whereas Pt uses the Patch settings. For example, let’s say Part 1 is using the insert effect “Overdrive” and uses “Fx-A” as an output assignment. Any Patch assigned to Part 1 will have the “Overdrive” effect applied in an amount determined on the Effects page. Now, let’s say we change the output assignment for Part 1 to “Pt-A.” If we assign a Patch to Part 1 that uses the “Overdrive” effect in Patch mode (such as a distorted guitar), then the “Overdrive” effect will still be applied to Part 1. The settings will be determined by the default settings of the Patch assigned to Part 1. And, if we change the Patch assigned to Part 1 to an organ Patch, the insert effect for Part 1 will change to match the default settings of the new Patch (probably a “Rotary” effect).

Use the following procedure to apply Effects using Output Assignments:

1. Press PERFORM.
2. Press F5[EFFECTS] to display the Effects page.
3. Press F6[PALETTE] to display eight parts simultaneously.
4. Use the CURSOR buttons to select “Output Assign.”
5. Use the VALUE dial to select the desired routing.
6. Use the CURSOR buttons to select the desired Part.
7. Use the CURSOR buttons and VALUE dial to set the “Reverb Send Level,” “Chorus Send Level,” and “Mix/EFX Send Level” for each Part to “127.”

Note: Press F1 to toggle between viewing Parts [1]-[8] and [9]-[16] respectively.
