Setting The Effects Level - Alesis S4 Plus Reference Manual

Chapter 2: Your First Session With The S4 Plus

Setting the Effects Level

Each Program can use up to four Sounds, for either layering or splitting the keyboard.
Each of these Sounds has its own effects send level and effects bus assignment.
Many of the Programs in the S4 Plus use only one or two Sound layers, while others
may use all four Sounds. You can adjust the effect send amount for each Sound
independently, or you can view/edit all four sounds simultaneously.
¿
Press [PROGRAM] to access Program Play Mode, and select a Program you
wish to edit, using the methods described on page 14.
¡
Press [SELECT] to access Program Edit Mode.
¬
Press the [EFFECT] button (located among the DIRECT SELECT buttons on the
far left); the words "EFFECT - LEVEL" are underlined in the display.
This is where you determine how much level will be sent from the current
Program sound layer to the effects processor, and on which of the four busses.
