Favorites 5: Bypass FX

Press the Favorites 5 button to temporarily bypass the Insert and Aux FX Chains. Press the
Favorites 5 button again to re-enable the Insert and Aux FX Chains.
Bypassing the FX is useful for checking the output level of a program with and without
its FX Chains. If the output level of a program is the same with and without the FX being
bypassed, it will prevent sudden jumps in volume that can occur when switching programs
while notes are being held. When a new program is selected while notes from the last
program are still being held, the FX Chains from the last program may be "stolen" by the
new program if there are not enough FX resources for both programs. You may hear a sudden
jump in volume if the output of a program is too quiet or too loud without its FX Chains.
To fix this, usually the output gain in the last box of the Insert Chain should be adjusted
until the program volume is the same with and without bypassing the FX. Afterwards, you
may need to adjust the Common Page OutGain of the program to match its level with other
programs.

Favorites 6: New Parameter

When assigning a physical controller or CC number to a VAST source field, a Parameter
is automatically added to the Parameters Page (unless the physical controller/MIDI CC is
already being used by an existing Parameter on the Parameters Page). In other cases it may
be desirable to manually create a new Parameter. Press the Favorites 6 button to create a
new Parameter. At the prompt, choose a Destination and then name the Parameter. The
Parameter Destination is the default MIDI CC number that the Parameter will send to the
Program. The Destination also becomes the default Control for the Parameter. Once the
parameter is created, you can change its Control on the Parameters Page.
