Effects
Basic Overview
Note that when an Aux Effect is applied post-Insert, the wet Aux signal has a series of effects
applied to it—i.e., cascaded effects. When an Aux Effect is applied pre-Insert, the wet Aux signal
has no Insert effect applied to it, and the final output has
parallel effects—i.e., distinct effects.
For multitimbral use—i.e., multiprogram use—multiple programs can have their Insert Effects
loaded simultaneously. The Aux Effects are global, and there can be only one set (Aux 1 and Aux
2) loaded at a time. In Program mode, the Aux Effects come from the program loaded on the
current selected channel. In Song and Setup modes, there is an option to select the track or zone
whose program specifies the Aux Effects. Alternatively, the Aux Effects can be set directly on the
AUXFX1 and AUXFX2 pages in Song or Setup mode, or by using the
Effect button in Program
mode. The following figure shows the signal paths for a multitimbral setup or song:
Processor Power Allocation
Each Effect Chain is composed of an effect-box or a series of effect-boxes. Each effect-box uses a
certain amount of the PC3’s effects processing power. The amount of processing power used by
an effect-box or Chain reflects how complex the effect’s algorithm is—more complex effects
require more processing power. Accordingly, each Chain and effect-box uses a certain number of
“DSP units”—you can have up to 16 DSP units used at a time.
In Program mode, the programs loaded on each of the 16 MIDI channels are normally
considered active, so effects are loaded for as many as is possible. In addition to a pair Aux
Effects (whether they are the program’s or the overrides in Effects mode - more on this later), the
Insert Effect of each channel’s program is active. For the DSP units, the currently selected
program will have priority, followed by lowest to highest MIDI channel. You can have up to 11
active Insert Effects.
