The Compare and FX Bypass Buttons
As with all K2500 objects, the Ò Compare Ó (Disk) button lets you switch back and forth between
the last saved version of whatever you are editing and its current state.
If you are on a page at the EditStudio level, Compare toggles between the last-saved and
current versions of the Studio. If you are inside an FX Preset, on the EditFXPreset level,
Compare toggles between the last-saved and current versions of the FX Preset.
If you have changed any Algorithms in an FX Preset or Studio during the current editing
session, the Compare button will switch back to the old Algorithms. This can create some short-
term ÒholesÓ in the audio output when the signal momentarily goes dryÑsee the section on
switching studios in real time on Chapter 4.
The Effects/FX Bypass button, when you are in the Studio Editor, bypasses all of the FX Presets
(all of the Insert FX and the Aux FX) in the current Studio, so that you can hear the signals
without processing. It does not, however, change the EQs, gains and balances, or signal
routingsÑthose will continue to affect the signal you hear.
