About FX Presets

Instead, by using Bus Overrides, you can adjust these two parameters and hear what they
sound like while you are adjusting them
without going into the FX Preset. When you save the
Studio, these parameter values are saved, but they are not part of the FX PresetÑthey are part
of the
Studio . Therefore, the FX Preset remains unchanged (and if the FX Preset is in use
elsewhere, it hasnÕt changed there), but these two parameters in this particular FXBus have been
altered.
ÒWet/DryÓ and ÒOut GainÓ are the default Bus Overrides you will encounter most often, but in
some Algorithms and FX Presets, other parameters are accessed as Bus Overrides. For example,
on some Compressor Algorithms (as we saw in Chapter 2), the Þrst Bus Override is an In/Out
switch; and on some dual-channel delay and Þlter Algorithms, the overrides are separate
Wet/Dry controls for the left and right channels.
Making and Breaking Bus Overrides
Some Studios supplied with KDFX, when you Þrst encounter them, have the BusMods in place,
but they are not ÒengagedÓÑthat is, theyÕre not actually overriding anything, but instead
simply show the values of the corresponding parameters inside the FX Preset, unchanged. To
see this, choose an FX Preset on the FX Bus page and look at the values of the override
parameters: ÒWet/DryÓ and ÒOut GainÓ. Now go inside the FX Preset by highlighting the FX
PresetÕs name and pressing
Edit , and Þnd those two parameters on the Þrst parameter page
( PARAM1 ). YouÕll see their values are the same as on the FX Bus page.
