EDITING EFFECTS

To edit an effect, no special mode is required - simply change the Q-LINK controls.
The edit remains valid for the effects channel until either another effects preset is selected or another project is
loaded/created.
NOTE : If you edit an effects preset but then go on to select another preset, if you re-select the effects preset
you edited, its original values will be recalled, NOT your edited values. If, when editing an effect, you feel that it
is worth keeping, you should save it to the FX LIBRARY (see next section).
Edited effects are stored as part of the current scene so that when you subsequently load that scene, the correct effects
assignment and their customised settings are recalled.

STORING EDITED EFFECTS

If you have edited an effect that you think you may want to keep for use in other projects, press the STORE key [F4].
You will receive the usual naming prompt where you may enter a suitable name. Pressing OK [F6] will save that
effect to the FX Library in the selected category. For example, if you have edited a chorus effect - perhaps using
STEREO CHORUS as the basis for your customised effect - when you store the effect, it will automatically be stored
to the CHORUS category. Likewise, if you edit a delay effect and store it, it will automatically be added to the
DELAY effects category (see next for details of the FX Library and effects categories).
The new effect can be used in other projects.

EFFECTS LIBRARY

Another way to select effects is by way of the EFFECTS LIBRARY. The EFFECTS LIBRARY also allows you to
store effects for recall in other projects.
To select an effect from the library, first select the channel you want to assign the effect to. Now press F1/2 - FX
LIBRARY - in the main FX page. You will see this screen:
Using the CURSOR UP/DOWN key, you can select an effects 'category' such as reverb, delay, chorus, etc. In this
way, effects are easily found and selected by category rather than scrolling through a long list of different types of
effects.
