Effects Change Mode (Fx Chg Mode); Effects Channel (Fx Channel) - Kurzweil PC1 - MUSICIANS GUIDE REV B Manual

Descriptions of Parameters
The Global Menu

Effects Change Mode (FX Chg Mode)

Determines how the PC1 selects effects when you select a program or setup. There are two
possible values:
Auto
The PC1 selects the effect associated with whatever programs you select while in Program mode;
it selects the effect associated with whatever setup you select while in Setup mode.
Panel
The PC1 ignores the effects associated with whatever program or setup you select. This effect
gets applied to every program or setup you select, regardless of performance mode.

Effects Channel (FX Channel)

Affects how the PC1 handles effects when you change programs. This parameter is closely
related to the FX Chg Mode parameter.
FX Chg Mode is Auto; FX Channel is Current
These are the default settings for both parameters, and provides the most useful model for
managing effects. In this case, program changes on the channel used by the program in the
display (or program changes on the channel used by Zone 1 of the setup in the display) also
change the current effect. This is true for internal program changes as well as those received via
MIDI. Programs on all other channels use the current effect, but retain their own settings for
Wet/Dry mix.
FX Chg Mode is Auto; FX Channel is 1–16
Program changes on the channel designated as the FX channel (or program changes in the setup
zone that uses the FX channel) change the current effect. This is true for internal program
changes as well as those received via MIDI. All other programs use the current effect, but retain
their own settings for Wet/Dry mix.
FX Chg Mod is Panel
In this case, the value of FX Channel is irrelevant. Program changes--either from the PC1 or via
an external MIDI source--never change the current effect (you must change the current effect
from the PC1's front panel). The channel used by the program in the display adopts the Wet/Dry
mix of the current effect as soon as you change the effect via the front panel. The other channels
don't adopt the Wet/Dry mix of the current effect until you make a program change.
MIDI Receive Mode
When you're in MIDI Recv mode (that is, when you're in the MIDI Recv menu), program
changes received via an external MIDI source change the current effect (or not) according to the
same rules describe above. The only difference is that when the PC1 receives a program change
via MIDI, the Wet/Dry mix settings for each channel are determined by the Wet/Dry parameters
in the MIDI Recv menu.
