The Algorithm View Screen; Selecting Effect Patches - Roland VS-2480 Owner's Manual

When a processor's Bypass feature is turned on, any signals sent to the processor go
around it instead of through it, so the signals are not processed. In essence, the effect is
turned off. Therefore, if BYPASS is:
•
When a processor is bypassed, it remains that way until you reset its BYPASS switch.
Setting Up an Effect Processor
At the bottom of the EFFECT VIEW screen are
a pair of tabbed layers containing an F button
for each of the eight effect processors.
Press PAGE, if necessary, to view the F button for the effect you want to work with.
Press an effect's F button to view its Algorithm View screen.
