EFFECTS

Furthermore, a single program will ‘remember’ the four effects selected on the other channels.
You can use this to offer some alternative effects for a single sound. For example, you may
have a guitar sound to which you wish to add effects. For effects channel 1, you could select a
filthy, heavy metal distortion sound with copius amounts of chorus, delay and a large hall
reverb. For effects channel 2, you could select a mild overdrive effect with a large room and for
RV3 and RV4, you could select two different reverb types. When you subsequently come to
use this guitar sound again, you may switch between these different effects simply by
selecting FX1, FX2, RV3 or RV4 in the MIX page, comparing and contrasting the different
effects as you like.
This is also used when assigning different keygroups to different effects channels in a single
program (for example, assigning different drum sounds to different effects).
NOTE: Please note that it is the program NUMBER that ‘remembers’ the effect selection, not
the program name. If you assign a certain set of effects to a program and that program is
renumbered, the effects association will be lost. For example, using the above example, if the
guitar sound using the heavy metal hero effect is program 5 but you renumber this to program
7 and a strings program to program 5, the guitar sound will use the effects selection for program
7 whilst your string section will turn into the violinists from hell!!
