Now save that Program (in the same location or a new one) and go back to the song. Make sure
that the ProgramÕs channel and the songÕs EffectChannel agree. If youÕve changed the Program,
make sure the new Program is included in the Song. The KDFX Mods should now all play
correctly.
Studios and Songs in Master Mode
When you are using KDFX in Master FX mode, the Studio does not get saved with the Song,
since it is not a dependent object of the Song, or of anything in it. Therefore, if you want to
recall a Studio whenever you load in a particular Song, you have to do one of the following:
remember to recall the Studio by hand, or
¥
make sure the Song you want to save is selected, and then save the Master Þle with its
¥
dependents: press Save, scroll to the bottom of the list of banks until you get to ÒMasterÓ,
press OK, and name and save your Master Þle. When asked to save dependents, press Yes.
When you reload that Þle, you will get the Song along with the master table, which
includes the Studio. For more about Master Þles, see Chapter 13 in the K2500 Performance
Guide.
ConÞguring the Program outputs in Song mode
Back in Chapter 3 we discussed how the various Program outputs (KFDX-A through KDFX-D)
can be conÞgured to feed KDFX. Sometimes, you may Þnd that the most efÞcient way to set up
these outputs is to use the MIDI Channel overrides on the MIDIMode:Channels page, so that
when you choose a MIDI channel to put a Program on, you are also choosing its processing
path.
Other times, you may not want to use these MIDI Channel overrides. but youÕd like to organize
your outputs on a Program-by-Program basis. However, the Programs you like may have
multiple layers which are assigned to different outputs. You can tame these, and quickly bring
all the layersÕ outputs to a single output, by using the OutPair parameter on the
Program:Common page. This parameter overrides the output assignments on all of a
ProgramÕs layers, and sends all of the layers to one designated output. By setting this
parameter, of course, you are changing the Program, so you have to now save the new version
of the Program into RAM. You could overwrite the ROM version, if you know for sure you are
never going to need the original version again, but you might be better off putting the new
Program into a RAM bank.
After you do this, make sure that when you save the Song, you ÒSave Dependent ObjectsÓÑ
that way, the Program is sure to get saved and to be there when you next load the Song. (And if
the Studio that youÕre using in the Song happens to be inside the Program, that gets saved
tooÑvery convenient!)
