Chapter 3
Inside KDFX
This chapter will analyze the organization of KDFX in detail.
Personalities
KDFX can be said to have two distinct Òpersonalities,Ó depending on the setting of the
ÒFXModeÓ parameter on the FX Mode page.
If FXMode is set to ÒMasterÓ, then all KDFX parameters are set within the Studio, and remain
unchanged unless the Studio or any of its FX Presets are edited.
If FX Mode is set to anything else ÑÓProgramÓ, ÒSetupÓ, or ÒAutoÓÑthen one or more
parameters within the studio may be under the control of an outside source, such as MIDI or
one of the K2500Õs control sources, and can be continuously changed in real time without
editing the Studio or any FX Presets.
For the sake of clarity, in this chapter, we will deal with KDFX only in ÒMasterÓ mode. The
issues of real-time control will be dealt with in depth in the next chapter.
So for starters, set the FX Mode parameter on the Effects Mode page to ÒMasterÓ and the
Channel parameter to ÒNoneÓ before going further into this chapter.
Navigating KDFX
The largest component in KDFX is the Studio. The Studio encompasses all of KDFXÕs signal
routings, processing algorithms, and processing parameters. When you change any parameter
in a Studio, you are potentially creating a new Studio, just as when you change a parameter in a
Program, the Program is no longer the same. The user interface within a Studio is organized
according to the following diagram:
