The EFFECT Page

On the EFFECT page youÕll adjust the parameters that control the preset effect that the global
effects processor applies to the currently selected program. Press the EFFECT soft button and
the EFFECT page appears:

The top line of the page gives you the usual mode reminder, and shows that the preset effect
you select will apply to all layers of the program. Keep in mind that these parameters are
globalÑthat is, they affect every part of the programÕs sound that goes through the global
effects processor. The display reminds you of this by showing ÒAll LayersÓ in the top line.
The Effect Preset parameter determines which preset effect will be selected when you select the
program in Program mode.
The remaining three parametersÑAdjust, Source, and DepthÑapply to three inputs that can be
used to modify the preset effect in real time, using any of the control sources. The inputs are the
Wet/Dry Mix, and two other realtime inputs that vary with the preset effectÑchorus delay,
reverb time, and other similar multi-effects DSP functions.
The Adjust parameter sets the initial level for the three inputs. This deÞnes the status of the
effect when no control source signal is applied to the inputs. For the Wet/Dry Mix, the range of
levels is 0 to 100%. For the two variable inputs, the ranges are Ð128 to 127.
This Source parameter lets you deÞne which control source is used to modify each of the
inputs. The values are taken from the Control Source list.
The Depth parameter deÞnes how much you can modify each input with its assigned control
source. The range for each input is Ð128 to 127.
Wet/Dry Mix
The Wet/Dry Mix parameter determines how much of the preset effect is applied to the
program. A value of 0% leaves the program dry; no effect is heard. A value of 100% removes all
of the dry signal, and you hear a full effect level on the sound. For best results, start with values
of near 50%, and tweak them from there.
Realtime 1 and 2
These two inputs differ with each preset effect. When you select different preset effects, the
names of these two inputs will change to reßect the effect parameter that can be modiÞed via
the control source youÕve assigned with the Source parameter.
When youÕre recording sequences and including realtime effects changes in the sequence, be
sure that the realtime effects messages occur at least 200 milliseconds after program or setup
changes. It takes the K2vx approximately 200 milliseconds to switch preset effects, and realtime
effects events can interfere with the selection of the new effect. The most likely result is that the
realtime effects messages will be ignored.
