Now set up your studio, assigning FX presets to the program outputs/KDFX inputs. Many of
the ROM studios follow a common organizational plan, which might be a good starting point
for your studios:
¥ FXBus 1 contains a relatively simple reverb with a low Size requirement.
¥ FXBus 2 contains an effect that does not increase the ÒlengthÓ of the sound (that is, no reverb
or delay), something like chorus, ßange, phaser, distortion, shaper, pitcher, enhancer, EQ, or
EQ morpher.
¥ FXBus 3 contains effects that take up lots of time, such as delays, delays with reverb, or
other ÒLeadÓ sounds.
¥ FXBus 4 is dry, since the Þrst three FXBuses have probably used up all the PAUs.
¥ The AUXFXBus contains a larger reverb (Size: 2 or3), a compressor, or a graphic EQ. It can
often be used instead of an FXBus reverb, such as the one on FXBus1. If you use it in this
way (set the Aux Lvl on FXBus 1 to 0dB or higher), it frees up FXBus1 for use as an
Enhancer, Stereo Image, Flanger, etc.
Finally, set up your FXMods in the setup or program you plan to use. If youÕre using a
sequencer, you might want to dedicate a program just to the studio and FXMods, with no sound
coming from that program.
Keep in mind that FXMods donÕt always have to be dynamicÑthey can be used to assign static
(Source: OFF) values to the parameters in a studio that are different from the studioÕs normal
parameters. This lets you create and store multiple variations on a studio without making each
one a separate studioÑwhen you want to call up the variation, merely call up the program that
contains the correct FXMods.
