A word about Gain
Hard panning signals at various stages within KDFX, either for an effect or to keep individual
channels isolated, can cause signiÞcant cumulative increases in gain. If this occurs, you may
want to trim the levels at various stages. More about Gain Staging can be found later in this
chapter.
Effects buses
The four Insert FX buses receive the signals from the Input editor and process them. Press the
FXBUS soft button to go to one of the FXBus pagesÑthe Þrst time you do this after entering the
Studio Editor, it will be the FXBus1 page. To go to the other FXBus pages, use the Chan/Bank
Up and Down buttons. The number of the FXBus appears in the upper right corner.
The Arrow Meter
There are arrow meters on the FXBus pages as well, right next to the number of the FXBus.
These tell you when signal is coming into the Bus, and also when signal is present
inside the
bus, so if you have a long reverb or repeating delay, for example, the arrow will keep ßashing
as long as the processing is going on.
