The Grid
4.2
The grid, located on the EDIT page of the LAYOUT
menu, is a 12 × 4 “matrix” where effect “blocks”
are inserted and connected to build presets. The INPUT
appears at the left, the OUTPUT at the right. The display can fit a 5 × 4 section of the 12 × 4 grid at any one time,
with the ability to scroll to off-screen areas using the
buttons. A bottom scrollbar indicates where you are in
the overall left-to-right layout.
Figure 4-1 – In this image of an empty grid, off-screen areas are grayed.
Inserting and Removing Blocks
4.2.1
As explained in “The Concept” on page
, the Axe-Fx II grid must be populated with blocks—components pulled
from a large inventory of amps, cabs, stompbox, studio effects, mixers, and more. The insertion, modification, or
removal of blocks happens at the grid cursor, a filled rectangle controlled with the
buttons.
Figure 4-2 – Grid Operations
To INSERT a BLOCK into an empty space…
Use the
buttons to select the desired empty grid location.
Turn the
wheel. Available block names (AMP 1, CAB 1, etc.) will be displayed on the screen in
alphabetical order, and the selected block (if visible) will flash.
When the desired item is found, press
to insert it into the grid. To cancel, press
instead.
(p.
), every preset draws from its own complete inventory of
available blocks. As you place them on to the grid, they are removed from the inventory.
