To select a Studio, on the main Effects page move the cursor so the Studio name is highlighted.
FX Bus
When the Studio is highlighted, pressing Edit goes to the Studio Editor ( EditStudio ) level, and
the FXBus page. There are four FXBus pages, which are selected using the Channel/Bank Up
and Down buttons. If you have just entered the Studio Editor, the Þrst FXBus page you see will
be the FXBus1 page. Once you are inside the Studio Editor, however, when you press the
FXBUS soft button from another page, it will take you to whichever FXBus page you were last
looking at.
The four FXBuses are the equivalent of four effects processors inserted into the effects loop of a
mixing console. Therefore, they are known as the Ò
Insert effects Ó.
Parameters
When you are on an FXBus page, highlighting the name of the FX Preset (or any of the
parameters directly below it) and pressing
Edit accesses the Þrst page of Parameters for that FX
Preset. An FX Preset is an object within the Studio, much like a Keymap is an object within a
Program. The same FX Preset can be used in more than one Studio, or more than once in the
same Studio (provided you donÕt run out of PAUs).
The Þrst EditFXPreset Parameter page includes the FX Algorithm that the FX Preset is based
on. Additional pages of Parameters are accessed by soft buttons. Depending on how complex
the Algorithm is, there may be as many as four Parameter pages in an FX Preset. Algorithms are
in the K2500 ROM, and are not normally changeable, deletable, or saveable by the user. Like
ROM samples, they are simply always there. (Additional Algorithms, however, may be loaded
in from disk when they become available from Kurzweil.)
