Program Mode and the Program Editor
Program Editor—EFFECT Page
Program Editor—EFFECT Page
On the EFFECT page you'll adjust the parameters that control the preset effect that the global
effects processor applies to the currently selected program. Whether or not you will hear the
effect that you assign on this page is determined by the settings of the FX Mode and FX Chan
parameters, found in the Effects Mode; they're described on page 9-2.
Press the EFFECT soft button and the EFFECT page appears:

The top line of the page gives you the usual mode reminder, and shows that the preset effect
you select will apply to all layers of the program. Keep in mind that these parameters are
global—that is, they affect every part of the program's sound that goes through the global
effects processor. The display reminds you of this by showing "All Layers" in the top line.
The Effect Preset parameter determines which preset effect will be selected when you select the
program in Program mode.
The remaining three parameters—Adjust, Source, and Depth—apply to three inputs that can be
used to modify the preset effect in real time, using any of the control sources. The inputs are the
Wet/Dry Mix, and two other realtime inputs that vary with the preset effect—chorus delay,
reverb time, and other similar multi-effects DSP functions.
The Adjust parameter sets the initial level for the three inputs. This defines the status of the
effect when no control source signal is applied to the inputs. For the Wet/Dry Mix, the range of
levels is 0 to 100%. For the two variable inputs, the ranges are –128 to 127.
This Source parameter lets you define which control source is used to modify each of the
inputs. The values are taken from the Control Source list.
The Depth parameter defines how much you can modify each input with its assigned control
source. The range for each input is –128 to 127.
Wet/Dry Mix
The Wet/Dry Mix parameter determines how much of the preset effect is applied to the
program. A value of 0% leaves the program dry; no effect is heard. A value of 100% removes all
of the dry signal, and you hear a full effect level on the sound. For best results, start with values
of near 50%, and tweak them from there.
Realtime 1 and 2
These two inputs differ with each preset effect. When you select different preset effects, the
names of these two inputs will change to reflect the effect parameter that can be modified via
the control source you've assigned with the Source parameter.
When you're recording sequences and including realtime effects changes in the sequence, be
sure that the realtime effects messages occur at least 200 milliseconds after program or setup
changes. It takes the K2500 approximately 200 milliseconds to switch preset effects, and
realtime effects events can interfere with the selection of the new effect. The most likely result is
that the realtime effects messages will be ignored.
