* With some effects, you may not want the direct sound output,
or other special settings may be required. Please refer to
“Algorithm List” (Appendices, p. 81) when making these
settings.
Creating and Saving User Effect
Patches
A VS-1680 with one or two of the optional VS8F-2 effect
boards installed will have 200 user patches, which are the
same as the first 200 preset patches. It is possible to overwrite
the user patches to store your own custom effects. To create
your own user patch, first select the preset patch whose
sound is closest to what you wish to create. Then alter the
settings of that patch. If you do not save the changes as a user
preset effect, your edits are lost once you select another patch
or recall a different Scene.
Create a User Effect Patch
1.
Using the first six steps described in “Selecting Effect
Patches” (p. 97), select the patch containing the effect
algorithms you will base your new effect on. The
following screen is displayed:
fig.05-12
2.
Press [ ] and [ ] to move the cursor in the screen.
When you select a multi-effect patch (e.g., Guitar Multi
2), use the TIME/VALUE dial to turn each effect within
that patch on or off. In the display, effect blocks that are
currently activated and on are highlighted. Move the
cursor to the highlighted effect block whose settings you
wish to change.
3.
Press [F3 (Edit)] or press [YES]. A list of settings available
in the effect block is displayed.
4.
Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the
cursor in the screen. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to adjust
settings. For more detailed information about the
settings included in each effect algorithm, refer to the
“Algorithm List” (Appendices, p. 81).
The function buttons work as shown below:

When saving an effect settings, it is necessary to either
save it as a user patch, or save the mixer settings as a
Scene. If you want to use a custom effect in a different
song, save it as a user patch. If you are only going to use
it in the currently selected song, you can save it as part of
a mixer Scene. At this point, save the effect using one of
the two methods described below.
Save an Effect as a User Patch
1.
Press [F4 (SAVE)]. The Effect Name screen appears in the
display.
2.
Turn the TIME/VALUE dial to select the destination
patch number (U000-U199).
