FX Overview Page
In the Overview Page all four FX processors are visible at the same time and can also be adjusted. The
parameters available for adjustment will depend upon the type of FX which is selected. A description of the
Effects and their associated controls is given in the section which starts on page 11 of this chapter.
To enter the FX Overview Page press [MENU] and select the FX Tab.
The vertical white Bars on the Boxes represent the assignment mode : In INSERT mode the white bars are
inside (example below LEX 1 = Channel Insert, LEX 2 = Master Insert). In PATCH mode the white bars are
outside (exampled below LEX 3 = Patch). Note that the bars should both be outside or should both be
inside.
The vertical white bars also indicate for each FX processor if a mono or stereo format is being used. In the
example below LEX 1 is in a stereo format, all the others are in a mono format.
HINT. The assignment of the FX processors is visible, but cannot be changed from this page.
It is recommended that before assigning any FX processor this page should be viewed to find out what
processors are free (if any). If it is necessary to unassign a processor in order to use it somewhere else it
is strongly recommended that the user should unassign all patches to it before re-patching it in its new
location.
Snapshot integration
All Parameters from all Effect Types for each of the four processors are stored in the console Snapshots. In
the Basic implementation each of the 4 FX processors can be fully isolated.
TAP
For each effect that offers TAP Tempo (Tempo synchronisation using key press), the bottom left key is used
as the TAP button.
ASSIGNING F1-6 KEYS TO FX TAP TEMPO
In live situations it is often advantageous to be able to easily control the TAP function from a large button
which is permanently accessible on the console surface. The large F1-6 keys below the monitor section
can now be used for this purpose.
