Chapter 1
Introducing KDFX Version 2
Overview
KDFX V2 gives you more control than ever over the effects in each studio, through several
enhancements:
•
You can assemble chains of up to four FX Presets on an FXBus.
•
You have access to 26 new KDFX algorithms (29 for K2500).
•
You can mute or bypass effects and EQ for individual FXBuses. You can now keep effects
bypassed outside the program editor, as well.
•
You can get to Effects Mode directly from Program, Setup, and Song modes—you don’t
have to go through another editor first.
If you are familiar with Version 1 of KDFX, you will notice that there are several new pages and
parameters giving you access to the new features. You’ll also notice some changes to existing
pages. The INPUT, AUXFX, and OUTPUT pages have not changed at all with KDFX V2,
however.
The following tables give a brief explanation of the major additions and changes in KDFX V2.
