Programming Your PC2
The Effects Editor
Entering the Effects Editor
You can get to the Effects Editor from any performance mode by pressing the
Select
button for
FX-A or FX-B (in the Effects region). The display looks something like this:
FXA|Select|:Voices
1|Nice|Little|Booth|
In this case, weÕve entered the Effects Editor from Internal Voices mode, by pressing the
Select
button for FX-A The FX-A LED lights to indicate that itÕs the current effect block. The top line of
the display indicates that weÕve come from Internal Voices mode (youÕd see
Setups
or
KB3
in
the top line if you had come from MIDI Setups mode or KB3 mode, or
Panel
if the value of
FX Chg Mode were set to
Panel
). The bottom line shows the ID and name of the effect assigned
to the current effect block.
You can also get to the Effects Editor when youÕre in the MIDI Recv menu, by pressing the
Select
button for FX-A or FX-B. To get back to the MIDI Recv menu, press and hold
MIDI Recv
, then
press one of the Sound/Setup buttons. This returns you to the MIDI Recv menu, on the channel
corresponding to the number of the Sound/Setup button you pressed.
Selecting Different Effects
On page 3-15 we brießy described performance aspects of changing effects. Here weÕll go into a
bit more detail.
1. Enter the Effects Editor as described in the previous subsection.
2. Use any data entry method to change the effect displayed on the bottom line.
This procedure applies to any performance mode, as long as youÕre using one of the standard
effects in both effect blocks. Things are a bit different if youÕre using one of the specialized KB3
effects (IDs
395
and
396
). Only the KB3 programs use these effects by default, but you can apply
them to any setup or program if you want.
The KB3 effects are complex multi-stage DSP functions that use the FX-A and FX-B blocks in
tandem (to accommodate the extra processing requirements). In this case, the
Select
button for
FX-A serves to select the special double-block effect, and the
Select
button for FX-B is inactive.
Anything routed to FX-B therefore bypasses the KB3 effect. When youÕre using a KB3 effect in
one of the zones or channels of a setup, you might want to route the other zones or channels to
FX-B (unless you want the KB3 effect applied to all zones or channels of the setup).
If you press the
Select
button for FX-B when editing a program or setup that uses one of the KB3
effects, the ID and name of the current effect are enclosed in parentheses, indicating that you
canÕt change it. If you select one of the standard single-block effects (using the FXA/B Select
parameter), the FXB Select parameter becomes active again.
You can change the effect associated with the current program or setup as often as you like
without actually affecting the programÕs or setupÕs deÞnition. Unless you save your changes, the
original effect gets reapplied to the program or setup as soon as you exit the Effects Editor. See
Saving Effects
on page 4-23 to learn how to save the current effect settings to the current program
or setup.
