The MAIN Page
In the Chain Editor, pressing the MAIN soft button calls up the MAIN page. This is where
you configure the length of a Chain and select the individual effects that make up the Chain.
At the top right of the display is the number of FX units used by the currently selected effect-
box, and by the Chain as a whole. There are a total of 32 units available for all of the Chains
that are currently loaded by programs and any active Aux overrides from Multi Mode.
Note: In some configurations, not all 32 units are available for use with multi-unit effects
because of the way the units are allocated internally.
Like all other representations of signal paths in the K2700 display, the program signal moves
from left to right through the Chain. Use the cursor buttons to select an effect-box or empty
spot in the Chain. The effect loaded into the selected effect-box can be changed by numeric
entry, with the Alpha Wheel, or with the +/– buttons; and can be changed with either the
effect-box or the Effect field at the bottom of the page highlighted. The +/- double button
press will jump to the next effect "category."
Pressing the INS PRE soft button adds a new effect-box to the Chain in the currently
selected block-slot, and pushes the currently selected effect-box down the Chain to the right.
(If you have run out of FX units, you will not be able to create additional effects boxes.)
Pressing the REMOVE soft button takes the currently selected effect out of the Chain.
Editing Effect-boxes
To edit the parameters of an effect, select its effect-box on the MAIN page and press the
EDIT button. For each effect, there are one or more pages of parameters that are specific to
that effect. See
effect. Any parameter controlled by an effect Mod will display a value of FxMod and cannot
be edited. To return to the MAIN page of the chain editor, press the Exit button.
