How do I use the effects?

The EP-133 has a powerful effects section that processes your entire mix:

Accessing effects: 1. Press the FX button to enter effects mode 2. Use X and Y knobs to control effect parameters 3. The fader controls wet/dry mix

Available effects:

Delay — Echo/repeat effect
Reverb — Room/space ambience
Filter — Low-pass/high-pass sweep
Distortion — Overdrive and grit
Bit crush — Lo-fi digital degradation
Compressor — Dynamic control

How to apply effects: 1. Press FX to enter effects mode 2. Press a group button (A, B, C, D) to toggle FX on/off for that group 3. Groups with FX enabled show a lit indicator 4. Adjust parameters while playing to hear changes in real-time

Recording effects:

Effects apply to the master output
To "bake in" an effect, resample: record the output back into a new sample
This lets you stack multiple effects

Pro tip: The fader can automate effect parameters during playback. Record fader movements to add dynamic filter sweeps or delay throws.
