To Swap FXA and FXB
Effects can sound very different depending on their order in the chain. Here is a simple
way to swap FXA and FXB.
1. Choose Swap Effects from the Preset pull-down menu.
2. The two effects will exchange positions.
Preset FX Modulation Parameters
Certain parameters in each Preset Effect can be controlled from the Preset Cords. Some
effects (such as BPM delay) allow four controllable parameters, while other effects
(such as Early Reflections) have only one controllable parameter. If an effect uses less
than four parameters, the idle cords are listed as (unused). See below.
The Preset Cord value ADDS to the setting made in the Preset FX screen. For example, if
the Wet/Dry Mix were set to 0% and you patched a MIDI Controller to Wet/Dry Mix
with an amount of +100, the MIDI Controller would have a full range of control over
Wet/Dry Mix. To invert the control, simply set the initial Wet/Dry Mix to 100% and set
the Cord amount to -100.
How to Connect MIDI Controllers to FX Parameters
1. Select the preset you want in the tree by clicking on
the keyboard icon.
The Preset Global page appears.
2. Assign FXA or FXB in the Preset FX screen.
3. Select the Destination field from the Preset Cords
section. A list of all possible Preset Cord destinations
appears.
4. The effect modulation parameters are at the bottom of
the list. Select the parameter you wish to control.
5. Select the Modulation Source you wish to use.
6. Set the Cord Amount.
7. In the screen above MIDI Controller K is controlling
the Reverb Decay Time.
