A Tour of KDFX
A complex Studio with real-time control
2-12
Setting up FXMods
How are these controls set up? ThatÕs back on the KDFX page in the Setup. Exit the Studio (if
you have made any changes, donÕt save themÑthat will only confuse things!) and look at the
settings here:
On FX1 bus, the In/Out parameter has an initial value (ÒAdjustÓ) of ÒOutÓ, which means that
normally it is not engaged.
The controller that controls this parameter is the ÒSourceÓ, and in this case, it is the Soft
Pedal/Switch Pedal 3, MIDI controller 67. The amount the Source can change the parameter is
the Depth, and here it is Ò1Ó.
On a parameter that has only two states, like ÒIn/OutÓ, the Depth can only have three values: 1,
0, or -1. If it is set to 1 or -1, then changing the source puts the parameter into its other stateÑin
this case, going from Out to In. (If itÕs set to 0, then changing the Source has no effect on the
parameterÕs state.)
Also on the FX1 bus, the Aux Lvl is initially -55 dB. The Source, MIDI controller 27, can raise
that level by as much as 52 dB, to put it at -3 dBÑand in fact, thatÕs what youÕre hearing as you
move Slider G.
FX Bus 2
LetÕs go back into the Studio and look at FXBus 2Ñpress Edit and then Chan/Bank Up . HereÕs
our piano and string pad, going through an FX Preset called 206*Fast&RichChorus.
The Aux Lvl, as on FXBus1, is also under FX Mod control. If you now go inside the FX Preset
(by pressing
Edit ), youÕll see that the left and right feedback levels (ÒFdbk LvlÓ) are under
FXMod control.
