The Chain Editor
Pressing the Edit button while a Chain (other than 0 None ) is highlighted—on any of the various
effects pages—will call up the Chain editor. From the Program editor, the program’s Insert and
Aux Chains can be edited from the PROGFX and LYRFX pages. In Effect mode Chains selected
for Aux overrides can be edited from the Aux 1 Override and Aux 2 Override pages. In Setup and
Song mode Chains selected for Aux overrides can be edited from the AUX1 and AUX2 pages.
A Chain is made up of one or more effect-boxes, with each box containing a single effect. You can
have up to 16 effect-boxes in a Chain. The settings for all of the parameters of each effect-box are
also stored within the Chain. There are 15 Mod Controls that allow for real-time control over any
parameter from any effect-box in the Chain. Per Chain Control sources are also provided to be
used as inputs to the effect Mods (two FXLFO s, two FXASR s, and four FXFUN s.) These work
similarly to the LFOs, ASRs and FUNs in Program mode, but are only available for use with the
effect Mods.
The MAIN Page
In the Chain Editor, pressing the MAIN soft button calls up the MAIN page. The MAIN page is
where you configure the length of a Chain and select the individual effects that make up the
Chain. The Chain editor MAIN page of the Chain 269 PnoEnhancRvb3 appears as shown below:
At the top right of the display is the number of DSP units used by the currently selected effect-
box, and by the Chain as a whole. 2/5 Units indicates that the current effect-box is using two DSP
units and the Chain is using a total of five DSP units for all of its effects boxes. There are a total of
16 units available for all of the Chains that are currently loaded by programs and any active Aux
overrides from Setup/Song/Effects mode.
NOTE: In some configurations, not all 16 units are available for use with multi-unit effects because of the
way the DSP is allocated internally.
Like all other representations of signal paths in the PC3A display, the program signal moves from
left to right through the Chain. Use the cursor buttons to select an effect-box or empty spot in the
Chain. The effect loaded into the selected effect-box can be changed by numeric entry, with the
Alpha Wheel, or with the +/– buttons; and can be changed with either the effect-box or the Effect
field at the bottom of the page highlighted. The +/- double button press will jump to the next
effect “category.”
Pressing the Insert soft button adds a new effect-box to the Chain in the currently selected
block-slot, and pushes the currently selected effect-box down the Chain to the right. (If you have
run out of DSP units, you will not be able to create additional effects boxes.) Pressing the Remove soft
button takes the currently selected effect out of the Chain.
