The FX Page

The FX Page
Use the FX page to apply audio effects to a Program. You can select an Insert effects Chain
and 2 Aux effects Chains, all of which apply to all layers in the Program (unless Layer FX are
used, see below for details). In Program Mode, Programs on all MIDI channels share the Aux
chains of the Program on the currently selected MIDI channel.
The PC4's Chains contain a variety of effects. Each Chain displays icons representing the
type of effects contained in the Chain, as well as the order of effects in the Chain (signal
flows from left to right). The PC4's Chains include different types of reverb, chorus, delay,
flanger, phaser, tremolo, panner, rotary, distortion, EQ, compression, filter, envelope
following filter, frequency stimulator, ring modulator, frequency offset, pitch LFO, and
stereoizer.
The selected Chain can be edited by pressing the EDIT button. See Ch. 4 The Effects
Chain Editor for details.

DSP Resources and DSP Units

A Program can have up to 8 Insert Chains (any combination of common and layer specific
inserts) and 2 Aux Chains.
The PC4 has 32 "units" of effects resources that can be used to load effects chains. Each FX
chain requires a certain number of FX units in order to load, depending on its complexity.
The top line of the display shows a fraction with the number of units used by the selected
channel, over the total number of units used. When attempting to use more than 32 units of
FX resources at once, some FX Chains will not be loaded.
