Editing Effects Parameters
Most effects have four parameters that control various aspects of the effect (the special KB3
effects we mentioned above have three additional parameters that weÕll describe at the end of
the following procedure). Our sound engineers determine which parameters go with which
effects, but you can edit the values of any of the effects parameters.
1. Select the effect you want to edit, using the FXA Select or FXB Select parameter (or FXAB
Select for programs or setups using one of the KB3 effects).
2. Press
>
(the right cursor button) one or more times to select one of the four parameters
associated with the current effect.
3. Use any data entry method to change the value of the current parameter.
4. If desired, save your changes, as described in
Saving Effects
on page 4-23.
KB3 Effects
The double-block KB3 effects we mentioned in
Selecting Different Effects
Ñthe ones with IDs
395
and
396
Ñare associated by default with every KB3 program (remember that you can use them
with
any
program or setup if you want). These effects have two special properties that set them
apart from the standard single-block effects.
In addition to the usual four parameters (accessible by pressing the
Select
button for FX-A, then
pressing
>
one or more times), these effects have three parameters that are accessible by pressing
the
Select
button for FX-B, then pressing
>
one or more times (actually, they have
four
,
additional parameters, but one of them is called None, and you canÕt change its value).
Also, thereÕs a special editing case. If the KB3 effect youÕre editing is assigned to a KB3 program
and
the FX Chg Mode parameter is set to
Auto
(which is the default), youÕll notice that when
you press the
Select
button for FX-A, then press
>
multiple times, the Þrst three parameters
donÕt have values; instead of values you see
(Program)
. ThatÕs because in this special case, the
values of these three parameters are determined by the program settings, as described below:
Vibr/Chor
Vibrato/Chorus (which is what the VC stands for in the names of some of these
effects). Change this value by pressing
SW3
(
Chorus/Vib Depth
) one or more
times.
Low Rate
The vibrato rate when
SW1
is off (unlit LED) in KB3 mode. Change this value
using the Rotor Effects Low Rate parameter in the LFO menu of the Program
Editor.
High Rate
The vibrato rate when
SW1
is on (lit LED) in KB3 mode. Change this value using
the Rotor Effects High Rate parameter in the LFO menu of the Program Editor.
If the KB3 effect youÕre editing is assigned to a setup or an Internal-Voices programÑor when
itÕs assigned to a KB3 program but FX Chg Mode is set to
Panel
Ñyou can change the values of
these three parameters within the Effects Editor.
Saving Effects
If youÕve made changes while in the Effects Editor, you must store the changes if you want to
preserve them when you leave the Effects Editor. The basic procedure is as follows, although
you have different options depending on whether youÕre working with programs or setups, and
whether youÕre in the Internal bank or the User bank. WeÕll get to that in a minute. For now weÕll
assume that youÕve edited the effects for a program in the
Internal
bank of Internal Voices mode.
