ASSIGNING EFFECTS TO SINGLE PROGRAMS

In the SINGLE mode, you can assign the program to one of the effects channels. This is done
in SINGLE EDIT on the FX page of the OUTPUT section:
In the FXBUS field, you may select the effects channel you wish to send the program to (FX1,
FX2, RV3 or RV4). The SEND field sets the amount of signal that will be sent to the selected
effects channel.
Once you have selected the channel the program is routed to and set a send level, press the
EFFECTS mode key to select the effects you want to assign to the program. You will see this
screen:
This shows the selected effects file (in this case, effects number 01 called RICH CHORUS1).
To select a different effects channel (for example, you may have routed the program to FX2),
press PAGE DOWN to see the other effects channels. Use the inner DATA wheel to select the
effect preset.
The effect preset will bring with it a reverb preset when selected. To select another reverb for
this effects, press PAGE DOWN once to see something like this screen:
Here we can see that reverb preset 01 called BIG HALL 1 is the currently selected preset for
this effects channel FX1.
You may select another channel by pressing PAGE DOWN and use the inner DATA wheel to
select the reverb preset you want to use for the selected channel.
You will note that a single program will 'remember' the four effects selected on the other
channels. You can use this to offer some alternative effects for a single sound. For example,
you may have a guitar sound to which you wish to add effects. For effects channel 1, you could
select a filthy, heavy metal distortion sound with copius amounts of chorus, delay and a large
hall reverb. For effects channel 2, you could select a mild overdrive effect with a large room and
for RV3 and RV4, you could select two different reverb types. When you subsequently come
to use this guitar sound again, you may switch between these different effects simply by
selecting FX1, FX2, RV3 or RV4 in the FX page, comparing and contrasting the different
effects as you like.
This is also used when assigning different keygroups to different effects channels in a single
program (for example, assigning different drum sounds to different effects).
NOTE: Please note that it is the program NUMBER that 'remembers' the effect selection, not
the program name. If you assign a certain set of effects to a program and that program is
renumbered, the effects association will be lost. For example, using the above example, if the
guitar sound using the heavy metal hero effect is program 5 but you renumber this to program
7 and a strings program to program 5, the guitar sound will use the effects selection for
program 7 whilst your string section will turn into the violinists from hell!!
