FX Bus 2
Press the Chan/Bank Up button to get to FX Bus 2.
On this bus is an FX Preset called
Flg+Dly145BPM
, which uses a combination Algorithm that
has two ßangers, a delay, and a short reverb, all rolled into one. The Ò145BPMÓ part refers to the
fact that the delay times are based on a tempo of 145 BPM,
As you play the ßute sound, the arrow next to ÒFX2Ó ßashes, and it keeps on ßashing as long as
the various feedback delays are sounding. It doesnÕt ßash when you play on the lower part of
the keyboard.
This FX Preset uses 2 PAUs. Along with the 1 PAU in use on FXBus 1, this makes 3 of the 4
available PAUs accounted for, so the ÒFreeÓ parameter is 1.
The output conÞguration of this FX Bus has the signal going to the Aux bus attenuated by -9.5
dB, and going to the Mix Bus at unity gain.
The other two FX Buses are empty, which you can conÞrm by pressing the
Chan/Bank
buttons
a few times: they say Ò199 No EffectÓ.
Inputs
Now letÕs look at the inputs to the FX Buses. Press the
INPUT
soft button, and see this page:
Input A carries the electric piano, coming from the ProgramÕs ÒKDFX-AÓ outputs. Play on the
piano part of the keyboard, and the arrow next to ÒAÓ ßashes.
This Input is conÞgured to be stereo. It has a large bass boost: 12.0 dB of everything at 370 Hz
and below, which adds a strong low-frequency emphasis to the signal being ring-modulated.
Its signal is being sent only to the Þrst FX Bus. The stereo separation (Width) of the signal is at
maximum.
