The StudioLive features two internal effects
processors. Each processor can access the
StudioLive's selection of high-quality reverbs
and delays. As described in Section 2.6.2, each
of these effects can be routed to any of the subgroups, the aux bus, or the main outputs. To access
the effects library and adjust each parameter, press the FX button in the Master Control section.
The first page of the FX menu is the QuickView
screen. It displays both of the effects assigned
to the internal effects buses, as well as the main
parameter for each and to which Aux buses the
effect is being routed. Effect A is assigned to
EFX A bus, and Effect B is assigned to EFX B
bus. Use the Next and Prev buttons to navigate
through the screen. To change a parameter, use
the Value encoder directly beneath the LCD
screen. The color will invert for each parameter
when it is selected for modification. The Next button will scroll through this screen in the following
order: FX A library selection, FX A main parameter, FX B library selection, FX B main parameter.
When choosing your effects preset, use the Value encoder to scroll through the library. When you
have arrived at your selection, press the Recall button to load it.
Press the Page Down button to move to the
next page of the FX menu. Pages 2 and 3 of the
FX menu display the rest of the parameters for
FX A and FX B, respectively. These parameters
will change depending on what type of effect
you have chosen. Again, use the Next and Prev
buttons to navigate through the screen, and
use the Value encoder to change the selected
parameter. If you would like to change the effect
from, for example, a Large Hall reverb to a Room
Ambiance reverb, press the Recall button to load the effect, and then change the various parameters
to taste. Press the Page Up button again to move to the full parameter view of FX B.
When a delay algorithm is chosen, you will
notice two parameters: Time (ms) and Time X.
Time is the delay time, discussed in Section
5.6.2, which is the time between the source
sound and the echo. This can either be adjusted
manually with the Value encoder, or you can use
the Tap button to enter a delay time in tempo with the music being played. Time X is the value of
the beat you are using as a reference for the tempo. The basic unit of measure is a quarter note, so
for example, if the beats you are tapping represent quarter notes in the music, you would set Time
X to 1.00. If they are eighth notes, you would set Time X to 0.50; half notes would be 2.00, and so
on. In this way, you can precisely synchronize or syncopate the delay echoes to the music in real
