16—Using Effects
Preset and User Effect Patches
The VS-2000's memory contains 250 "preset" patches designed to meet a wide range of
effect-processing needs. The preset patches can't be erased or modified—though you
can use them as the basis for your own patches—so they're always there for you to use.
You can also store 200 of your own "user" patches in the VS-2000's memory.You can
create these patches starting with the onboard effect algorithms—see "Starting from
Scratch" below—or customize preset patches for your own use and save them as your
own new user patches. Your collection of user patches is available in any project.
As shipped from the factory, the VS-2000's user patches are copies of the first 200
VS8F-2 preset patches. Since they're only copies, you can replace them with your own
user patches without fearing that you're losing anything.
Starting from Scratch
The 36 effect algorithms (Page 55) built into the VS-2000 and found on each VS8F-2 card
are the foundation on which effect patches are built. To build your own effect patch
from scratch, begin with one of the first 36 preset patches: P000-P035. These patches use
each algorithm's default settings.
Each plug-in effect on a VS8F-3 card also has its own presets you can use, and that can
serve as the basis for your own effect patches.
Effect Patch Prefixes, Numbers and Names
Each effect patch is named using a specific set of naming conventions that provides
information about the patch. Each patch has a:

Match the Patch to the Processor
Due to the processing requirements of some of the effect algorithms, not all patches
can be used by all of the processors.
Consult the documentation that accompanied your VS8F-3 and its plug-ins to learn
about their processing requirements.
Built-in and VS8F-2 effect patches based on the following algorithms can't be selected
for the even-numbered effect processors, Effect 2, 4 and 6:
•
•
In the patch list for the even-numbered processors, any patches based on these
algorithms are grayed-out and unselectable.

prefix—that tells you if it's a preset patch or a user patch. If the patch's name starts
with a "P," it's a preset patch. If it starts with "U," it's a user patch.
number—that shows you the patch's position in the patch list.
name—that describes the patch. If the patch isn't a default patch (see above), its
name is preceded by an abbreviation that tells you the algorithm it's based on. A
default patch's name is the name of its algorithm.
