Real-time Control of KDFX
Setting up FXMods
4-3
Setting up FXMods
The KDFX page allows three different FXMod control assignments to be made. More FXMod
assignments are available on the FXMOD2 , FXMOD3 , and FXMOD4 pages, each of which has
Þve setups. This gives a grand total of 18 Studio parameters that can be subjected to real-time
control. DonÕt worry, you donÕt have to use them all. (And if you run out, thereÕs always System
ExclusiveÑsee Appendix C.)
Bus assignments
The Þrst column lets you choose which Bus inside the Studio you want this FXMod to control:
Input A, B, C, or D (if any of the Inputs are set to Mono, you will get to choose individual
channels, for example A/L and A/R); FXBus 1, 2, 3, or 4; the AuxFX Bus; or the Mix bus.
Parameter assignments
The second column chooses the speciÞc parameter on the selected Bus that you want to control.
Scrolling through the choices shows that this selection is context-sensitive: it shows only
parameters that are being used in the current Studio on the selected Bus, so you canÕt make
assignments to irrelevant or non-existent parameters. It ÒknowsÓ which EQs are active, and
what modes they are set to; which Input sends are assigned and whether the sends are in Pan
or Balance mode; what parameters are being used in the FX Preset on the particular Bus; etc. If
you need to know more about how the Studio is set up, you can go into it and look around, as
explained above.
HereÕs an example: set the FX Studio to 201*RngMd/PFD/Plt which we looked at in Chapter 2.
Set the Bus on the Þrst line to InA . Set the cursor under ÒParam:Ó and scroll the choices. They
correspond exactly to the parameters available in the Input Editor page: level and frequency for
the two EQs, and SendLvl, Pan, and Width for the two FX sends. Note that you
cannot change
the FXBus assignments on an Input from here; you must do that within the Studio itself.
Change the Bus to FX1 , and now all of the parameters from the FX Preset on FXBus 1 are
available for selection, including Mod Mode and the various settings for the PresetÕs internal
oscillators, as well as the busÕs output controls: Mix Level, Mix Balance, Aux Level, and Aux
Balance. Change the Bus to
AuxFX , and the Aux FXBusÕs parameters are available: levels,
delays, room types, etc.
Setting the Bus to Mix makes available the Level and Balance controls from that page.
What canÕt be controlled
Parameters that would involve a major reconÞguration of the Studio cannot be assigned an
FXMod and modiÞed with a real-time controller. These include:
¥
Bus assignments on the Input pages
¥
Selection of FX Presets on the FXBus pages
¥
Allocation on the FXBus pages
¥
Selection of Algorithms within the FX Presets
¥
Bus assignments on the Output page
If you want to be able to change any of these on the ßy, you will have to create a new Studio,
link it to a different Program or Setup, and then call it up using a Program Change command.
