Figure 9-3 Effects Bus Editor display -- four chained effects

The Add and Remove buttons allow you to define your own chains of effects using up to four FX Presets. The Add button creates an effects block (shown as a box) to the right of the current cursor position in the effects chain. You can use a total of four effects in any studio, so if you create a four-block effects chain on a bus then you won’t be able to use any effects on the other buses in that studio. Your K2661 keeps track of effects usage for you, and won’t let you add an effects block to a bus if you’re already max’ed out.

The Remove button deletes the effects block that the FXBUS editor cursor is on. Adding and deleting effects blocks may cause audio glitches in any signal path and should not be done during critical listening.

Each FX Preset in an effect chain has two “override” parameters (BusMods) that are displayed when that FX block is selected. By selecting the name of an override parameter (e.g., Wet/Dry), you can scroll to choose from any other available parameter.

Each effect also has its full complement of real time modulators as defined and displayed in the Program and Setup editors.
