About FX Presets

The AuxFX Bus
The Auxiliary FX bus is accessed by pressing the AUXFX soft button on any page in the Studio
Editor. It contains an FX Preset, which is separate from those in the insert FXBusesÑalthough it
can be the same FX Preset that is in use on one or more of the Insert FX Buses. There is no
Allocation parameter, because the AuxFX bus has a Þxed allocation of 3 PAUs. Only a very few
highly complex FX Presets require more than 3 PAUs, so as you scroll through the FX Presets
here you wonÕt see many names in parentheses.
Aux bus outputs
There are two outputs (returns) from the AuxFX bus: itself, and a feed (post-effect) to the Mix
bus. The feed to the Mix bus, where it is combined with other Mix bus feeds from the four
FXBuses, has level and balance controls. The AuxFX busÕs own output has no post-effect
controls, and goes right to the Output page.

About FX Presets
FX Presets are where the processing takes place in KDFX. Each of the insert FXBuses and the
AuxFX Bus have their own FX Preset, and they are all independent of each other, although the
same FX Preset can be used on more than one FX Bus. If you think of a Studio as being the
equivalent of a K2500 Program, then an FX Preset is the equivalent of a Layer or Keymap.
On any of the FXBus pages, the FX Preset is edited by placing the cursor on the name of the FX
Preset and pressing
Edit .
The Þrst parameter page, or Ò
PARAM1
Ó, appears. The Algorithm that the FX Preset is based on
is selected at the top of this page. Highlight the name on the ÒFXAlgorithmÓ line, and scroll
through the various Algorithms. The Algorithms are in the K2500Õs ROM (like ROM samples),
and are not changeable by the user. As you change Algorithms, the parameters displayed on
the page change accordingly.
