Effect
This indicates the preset effect thatÕs selected while youÕre in Effects mode. By changing the
value of this parameter, you can view and listen to the various preset effects without changing
the preset effect for any of the programs or setups. If the FX Mode parameter (explained below)
is set to a value of Auto (its default value), then when you enter Effects mode, the value of the
Effect parameter automatically changes to match the effect assigned to the most recently
selected program or setup. If FX Mode is set to Master, Program, or Setup, the Effect parameter
is not automatically updated, so the effect you hear when you enter Effects mode may not be
the same as the one assigned to the program or setup you were listening to before you entered
Effects mode. ThereÕs a list of the factory preset effects in the Reference Guide .
Wet/Dry
This gives you the mix level of the currently selected preset effect. Use one of the data entry
methods to adjust the effects mix. 0% removes the effect entirely, while 100% removes all of the
dry (unaffected) sound, so that you hear only the wet sound (sound with effect). Your best
results will usually come from settings near 50%.
If youÕre using a stereo insert cable in one or both of the Group A outputs to create a loop to an
outboard effects processor, you can bring the effects from the outboard unit into the K2vx and
out the MIX outputs. If you want to use only the outboard effects, the easiest way to defeat the
K2vxÕs effects is to set the Wet/Dry mix to 0%, and the FX Mode to Master. You could also go to
the CHANLS page in MIDI mode, and set the OutPair parameter to a value of B(DRY), C(DRY),
or D(DRY) for one or more channels. Any program assigned to these MIDI channels will then
be routed to Output Group B, C, or D, and will appear at the MIX outputs without going
through the effects processor.

Understanding FX Mode and FX Channel

FX Mode and FX Channel are important to understand because they determine how the effects
processor is controlled.
The K2vxÕs effects work as a single effects processor. You can combine different effects together,
but you can't split them up between programs or channels. In other words, whichever effect
you pick is going to affect all of the programs - you can't have reverb for one program and
delay on another.
The FX Mode parameter lets you choose what will control the effects processor. The default
value is Auto. This means that the current mode is controlling the effects. Each program and
setup has an effect assigned to it. So if you go to Program mode and call up a program, the
effect assigned to the program on the effects page in the Program editor will be called up. For
example, if you go to Program mode, choose program 1, Acoustic Piano and then go back to the
Effects mode, you will see that the effect is Small Hall. If you go back to Program Mode, call up
program 2, Stage Piano, and go back to Effects, you will see Medium. Setups function similarly.
