Introducing KDFX Version 2

Additions and Changes to Effects Mode Pages

Additions and Changes to Effects Mode Pages
Prior to V2, there was a single Effects Mode page, which was responsible primarily for setting
the FX Mode and FX Chan parameters. This pair of parameters affected how the K2600/K2500
selected studios when you changed programs, setups, or songs. You would get to the
EffectsMode page by pressing the Effects button while in a performance mode (not while in an
editor). While inside an editor, the Effects button was used to globally bypass or enable the
effects.
There's much more going on with V2, so we've added several pages, and moved a number of
parameters into more logical groupings. Pressing the Effects button now takes you to the
KDFXMode:MAIN page, which gives you easy access to the Effects Mode pages.
The Studio Editor has some new soft buttons and pages to accommodate effect chaining in
KDFX V2. The Add and Remove buttons on the FXBUS page let you create and modify chains
on the buses. The FX Send and Aux Send fields and graphics that were previously shown on the
FXBUS page are now found on their own new page, FXSEND. Pressing the right more > button
on the FXBUS page reveals the FXSEND soft button, as well as the familiar AUXFX and
OUTPUT buttons.

New Button Presses for Bypassing/Enabling Effects

As a result of the new flexibility we've added, bypassing or enabling effects now takes an extra
button press or two, because you have to press Effects , then BypAll or Enable . Also, you may
need to press Exit or Effects again, depending on whether you're just toggling the effects on and
off, or whether you are leaving the effects bypassed and returning to an editor. See page 1-4 for
information on the new bypass features.
