We'll now add phaser and reverb effects to the chain:
Use the cursor keys to highlight the second effects block, then select Preset 191 Slow Deep
Phaser:

Press Add again to add another effects block. If the "Out of effect blocks" message displays (and
it should), then you'll have to remove an effects block from one of the other buses in this studio.
Press the Chan/Bank up button to display the screen for FXBus 2; you will see an empty effects
block, highlighted for your convenience; press the Remove soft button and that block (that you
weren't using anyway) is now available for you on FXBus 1.
Press the Chan/Bank down button to return to FXBus 1. Use the cursor keys to highlight the
Phsr block, then press the Add soft button. This time an empty effects block will be added to the
chain for you. Note that the new block is added to the right of the current block, which is why
we highlighted the Phsr block before pressing Add.
While the third block in the chain (the one you just added) is highlighted, select Preset 104 Cool
Dark Place. Your display will look something like this:
qwwwwt qwwwwt
!k g!!!k
CVVVVB CVVVVB
The outlined box around the effect block and the parentheses around the preset name indicate
that we've chosen an effect that requires more processing power than we currently have
available in this studio. Take a quick glance at the top line of the screen and the problem
becomes obvious: Cool Dark Place wants 3 PAUs (as shown by the Size parameter) but only 2
are available (as shown by the Free parameter). KDFX will still let you place the preset on the
chain, but it won't be active, so you won't hear the effect on your signal.
Let's see if we can find a reverb that fits in this chain. Press the + cursor button once to have a
look at the next listed preset, 105 Gunshot Verb:
qwwwwt qwwwwt
!k g!!!k
CVVVVB CVVVVB
As you can see, this effect requires 2 PAUs, which is what happens to be available in the Studio.
If you decide to use this effect, however, you will not be able to add any more presets to this
