Wet/Dry Mix
When the send to FX-A is on and the send to FX-B is off (which is the case for the majority of the
factory programs and setups), the audio signal comes from the PC2Õs sound engine, and goes
Þrst through FX-A, then through FX-B, then to the audio out jacks. Consequently there are three
wet/dry mix parameters:
A
Controls how much of FX-AÕs effect gets applied to the dry signal coming from
the sound engine
B
Controls how much of FX-BÕs effect gets applied to the dry signal coming from the
sound engine.
Global A>B
Controls how much of the processed signal coming from FX-A goes to FX-B and
gets FX-BÕs effect applied to it.
In Internal Voices mode, the settings for these three parameters affect every layer in the
program. In MIDI Setups mode, GlobalA>B affects every zone in the setup (and every MIDI
channel, which is relevant when the PC2 is receiving MIDI information from an external source),
but you can have different settings for A and B in each zone, and on each MIDI channel.
The specialized double-block KB3 effects use a different processing structure; only FX-A is
available when you use these effects. Consequently, both B and Global A>B are inapplicable.
Note
: You can use the KB3 effects for Internal-Voices programs and setups, not just for KB3 programs. If
you use a KB3 effect in one of the zones in a setup (or on one of its MIDI channels), you might want to
route the setupÕs other zones (or channels) to FX-B. This bypasses the KB3 effect for those zones or
channels, since the send to FX-B is inactive. It depends on whether you want the KB3 effect applied to all
the programs in the setup.
When you press the
Wet/Dry
button in Internal Voices mode or MIDI Setups mode, the display
looks similar to this:
Z:1||Global|A>B:22|%
A:|64|%|||B:(36|%)
The Þrst character is
L
(layer) if youÕre coming from Internal Voices mode, or
Z
(zone) if youÕre
coming from MIDI Setups mode. The numeral following the
L
or
Z
indicates the current layer or
zone. Use the zone buttons to change the current zone or layer.
Note: Since the
L
indicates that youÕre changing the wet/dry mix for a program, the zone buttons donÕt do
anything signiÞcant, since any change you make to any of the parameters affects every layer in the
program, regardless of which layer is current. The only reason the
L
is there is to remind you that youÕre
adjusting a program and not a setup.
Note the parentheses around the value for B. This indicates that the send to FX-B is inactive. In
this case, you can edit the value, but it wonÕt change the wet/dry mix for FX-B. (Additionally, in
Internal Voices mode, Slider
B
wonÕt adjust the mix.) If you turned on the FX-B send, the
parentheses would disappear.
