Send a MIDI Controller message of 94 to change effects routing. A value of 0–31 switches the
routing to None; a value of 32–63 switches to FX-A; a value of 64–95 switches to FX-B; a value of
96–127 switches to Both.
Selecting Effects
1. Press the
FX
button You’ll see the FX Routing menu in the bottom line of the display
(unless you entered FX mode from MIDI Receive mode, in which case there’s no
FX Routing menu).
2. Press the
Right
cursor button. The FXA Select menu appears. (If you entered FX mode
from MIDI Receive mode, the FXA Select menu appears right away, and you don’t have to
press the
Right
cursor button.)
3. Press
Enter
to enter the menu (or first press the
Right
cursor button again to get to the
FXB Select menu). The bottom line of the display shows the ID and name of the current
effect. The top line shows the name of the current menu, as well as the editing mode.
4. Use the Alpha Wheel to select a different effect.
5. Save your changes (see
Naming and Storing
on page 4-3), unless you want the effect to
revert to its original state the next time you select the program or setup.
Changing the Effects Routing
The Routing parameter determines whether the sound of a program or setup gets sent to one or
both of the effects blocks. Think of the Routing parameter as an effect send, routing the audio
signal from the sound engine to the effects processor (or bypassing it).
When you select a program or setup, the LED in the
FX
button indicates the effects routing, as
follows:
Off
None
Green
FX-A
Red
FX-B
Amber
Both
One way to change the effect you hear with a program or setup is to change the effects routing
so that you hear a different effect, a combination of effects, or no effect at all.
1. Press the
FX
button You’ll see the FX Routing menu in the bottom line of the display
(unless you entered FX mode from MIDI Receive mode, in which case there’s no
FX Routing menu, because effects routing is part of the MIDI Receive menu).
2. Press
Enter
to enter the FX Routing menu. You’ll see the Routing parameter.
3. Use the Alpha Wheel to change the value of the Routing parameter.
4. If you’re changing effects routings for a setup, press one of the zone buttons to select a
different zone, and change the effects routing for that zone as well, if desired.
5. Save your changes (see
Naming and Storing
on page 4-3), unless you want the routing to
revert to its original state the next time you select the program or setup.
