Chapter 15
Advanced KDFX
This chapter describes the organization of KDFX in detail.

Personalities

KDFX can be said to have two distinct Òpersonalities,Ó depending on the setting of the FX Mode
parameter on the Effects-mode page.
If FX Mode is set to Master, then all KDFX parameters are set within the current studio, and
remain unchanged unless you edit the studio or any of its FX presets.
If FX Mode is set to anything else ÑProgram, Setup, or AutoÑthen one or more parameters
within the studio may be under the control of an outside source, such as MIDI or one of the
K2600Õs control sources, and can be continuously changed in real time without editing the
studio or any FX presets.
For the sake of clarity, weÕll begin by discussing KDFX only in Master mode. For information
about real-time control, turn to page 15-21.
For starters, set the FX Mode parameter on the Effects-mode page to Master and the Channel FX Chan
parameter to None before going further into this chapter.

Navigating KDFX

The largest component in KDFX is the studio. The studio encompasses all of KDFXÕs signal
routings, processing algorithms, and processing parameters. When you change any parameter
in a studio, you are potentially creating a new studio, just as changing a parameter in a program
creates a different program (if you save it). The user interface within a studio is organized
according to the following diagram:
