A Tour of KDFX V2
A Simple Studio
2-5
The AUXFX Page
Press the AUXFX soft button. This page appears:
This is the Global AUXFX page, and shows us what is happening on the Auxiliary effects bus.
The Aux bus is a second processor, which follows the four insert FXBuses. It has its own
FX preset, with bus overrides, and level and balance controls to feed it into the Mix bus. It
doesn’t share PAUs with the FXBuses; it has three PAUs of its own, and consequently doesn’t
have an Allocation parameter. The Aux bus can be routed all by itself to an output, as we’ll see.
In this studio, the Aux bus contains a chamber reverb.
The OUTPUT Page
Press the OUTPUT soft button.
The OUTPUT page is the interface to the real world. It determines which of the signals going
through the various effects buses show up at the K2600/K2500’s four sets of physical outputs: A,
B, C, and D. These four outputs, all stereo, are both analog and digital (through the KDS bus).
Output A also goes to the K2600/K2500’s AES/EBU digital output.
In this studio, Output A is carrying the Mix, that is, the combination of the outputs of the four
FXBuses (only one of which is in use) and the Aux bus. Output B is carrying FXBus1, which is
the signal after it passes through the delay on FXBus1, but before it gets to the reverb on the Aux
bus. The other outputs are carrying no signal.
Note: If you’re using the Mix audio outputs, keep in mind they carry the summed signals of audio
outputs A through D. Normally you would assign each of the audio outputs differently. In the example
above, you might set Output B to Off, or Output A to AuxFx, to avoid applying the FXBus1 effect to the
entire program.
