XR as Stand-alone FX Processor

I was told that the XR can be used as an FX unit for other modules? Any truth to that? The Roland site doesn't say anything about it being an independent MFX unit.

Yes, you can process inputs with onboard Effects. Same is true for the Fantom X keyboards.

So does that also hold true with the FS keyboard?

BTW, I'd try it to answer my own question, but my FS has been with a friend for the past half year.

But I'm thinking of buying an FX if the FS can't do the same with the MFX. That alone is worth the extra money.

Yes, FS has the same effects functionality as the FX.

Nice! Have you used the MFX to treat input sounds? How do you like it?

So, I could plug a guitar into an input, run it throught the amp modeling fx, then output to my audio interface for recording? Can't wait to try it.

Somebody, in terms of processing external sounds the FS is a monster. You can put your mic/guitar though 7 effects at the same time (!) - input fx, mfx1/2/3, chrous, reverb and mastering. It's a bomb!
