When saving an effect's settings, it is necessary to

settings as a Scene. If you want to use them to another
song, save them to a User Patch. If you are only going
to use them to the currently selected song, then store it
to a Scene.

When Saving to User Patches

When you save effect settings to a User Patch, the User
Patch that had previously been in that location is lost.
At the time of purchase, the effects in the VS-1680's
User Patches are the same as those stored in the Preset

About Effect Levels
Many algorithms include parameters for effect
level, which adjusts the output level of the effect
sound, and direct level, which adjusts the output
level of the direct sound. When these parameters
are preceded by a minus sign, the phase is invert-
ed.
The direct level of the Preset Patches, which were
created with careful consideration given to the
connection to the EFFECT bus, is set to "0."
When inserting an effect into a channel, raise the
direct level. To determine the type for each Preset
Patch, please refer to "Preset Patch List"
(Appendices p. 74).
