COPYING EFFECTS
Sometimes, you may find an effects preset that is close to what you want but needs ‘tweaking’
You can, of course, edit the preset immediately but this may affect other sounds using this
preset. For example, you may have a clean chorus/delay effect with reverb whcih is being used
on a string pad sound but you want to use this same combination of effects on a guitar sound
but add distortion and EQ. Pressing F7 in any of the EFFECTS EDIT pages will show this
screen:
When you enter this screen, the currently selected effect will be shown in the field. You
can change this if you like but it is more than likely you will be copying the currently selected
effect to a new destination. To copy one effect to another, simply move the cursor to the
field and select the effect you want to copy to (the effect name will be shown as you change
the effect number). When you have selected an effect you are happy to overwrite, press F8 -
.
The effect selected in the field will be copied to the new destination, overwriting the
effect shown in the field. It will also carry with it the association between the effect and that
channel’s reverb preset. However, if you wish, you may select another reverb preset if you
wish.
Let’s see a practical example. You like effect preset 35, a crossover delay with a large hall
reverb, and you want to copy it to another destination so that you can add some chorus or
whatever. Move the cursor to the FX TO field and select an effect preset you are happy to
overwrite (for example, effect preset 10). Press - XOVER DELAY will be copied to 10
and effect 10 will have associated with it reverb preset 4, LARGE HALL. Now, when you select
effect preset 10 it will be XOVER DELAY with LARGE HALL. You may now add the chorus or
whatever it is you wish to change.
You may also copy a reverb on its own. For example, you may want to copy reverb preset 4
LARGE HALL to preset 7 to work on it there. Without changing anything in the FX FROM or TO
fields, simply move the cursor to the REVERB TO field, select preset 7 and press .
