About FX Presets

FX presets are where the processing takes place in KDFX. Each of the insert FXBuses and the
Aux bus have their own FX preset, and they are all independent of each other. If you think of a
studio as being the equivalent of a K2600 program, then an FX preset is the equivalent of a layer
or keymap.
In any of the FXBuses, the FX preset is edited by placing the cursor on the name of the FX preset
and pressing Edit.
The Þrst parameter page, or PARAM1, appears. The algorithm that the FX preset is based on is
selected at the top of this page. Highlight the name on the FXAlgorithm line, and scroll through
the various algorithms. The algorithms are in the K2600Õs ROM (like ROM samples), and are not
changeable by the user. As you change algorithms, the parameters displayed on the page change
accordingly.

Notice also that as you scroll the algorithms, the EffectSize parameter in the upper-right corner
changes. This parameter shows how many Processing Allocation Units (PAUs) the currently
selected algorithm requires, followed by how many are available for this FX preset. If, for
example, EffectSize is 2/3, that means the algorithm requires 2 PAUs, and there are 3 PAUs
available. More about PAUs soon.
Just below and to the right of the algorithm name is an Input Gain parameter, which adjusts the
level of the signal coming into the FX preset from the input(s) sending to it. The relative level of
the various inputs is determined on the Input pages, but you can change the overall level hereÑ
