Effects Channel (FX Chan)

This parameter is closely linked to the FXCtrl parameter—the values available for FX Chan depend on the setting for FXCtrl. FX Chan affects both studio selection and real-time control of KDFX—again, depending on the value of FXCtrl.

When FXCtrl is Master

The effects channel is irrelevant when FXCtrl is Master. KDFX is under the control of the studio you select with the Studio parameter. No FXMods apply.

When FXCtrl is Program

The available values for FX Chan are Current, and 1–16. When FX Chan is Current, studio selection is determined by whatever program is assigned to the current K2661 channel (as shown in the top line of the display in Program mode or Effects mode). That program’s FXMods are also enabled, and they respond to MIDI Controller messages received on the current channel.

When FX Chan is any value from 1 to 16, studio selection is determined as follows: in Program mode it’s determined by the program assigned to that channel; in Setup mode, it’s determined by the program in the zone assigned to that channel. FXMods respond to MIDI Controller messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program on the channel specified by FX Chan respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the FXMods of the program in the zone using the channel specified by FX Chan respond to messages on that channel.

The Studio parameter disappears, since studio selection is under program control.

When FXCtrl is Setup

The only available value for FX Chan is None, since studio selection and FXMods are determined by the program in Zone 1 of the current setup. The FXMods of the program in the zone using the channel specified by FX Chan respond to MIDI Controller messages on that channel. The Studio parameter disappears, since studio selection is under setup control.

When FXCtrl is Auto

The available values for FX Chan are Current, and 1–16. When FX Chan is Current, studio selection and FXMods are determined as follows: in Program mode, it’s determined by the program assigned to the current K2661 MIDI channel; in Setup mode, it’s determined by the program in Zone 1 of the current setup; in Song mode (or during song playback regardless of mode), it’s determined by the program on the channel designated as the song’s effects channel— as specified by the EffectChan parameter on the COMMON page in the Song Editor. FXMods respond to MIDI Controller messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program on the K2661’s current channel respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the FXMods of the program in Zone 1 of the current setup respond to messages on the channel used by Zone 1.

When FX Chan is any value from 1 to 16, studio selection is determined as follows: in Program mode it’s determined by the program assigned to that channel; in Setup mode, it’s determined by the program in Zone 1 of the setup (ignoring the FX CHan setting). FXMods respond to MIDI Controller messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program on the channel specified by FX Chan respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the FXMods of the program in Zone 1 of the setup respond to messages on that channel (again, ignoring FX Chan).

Studio

When FXCtrl is Master, the Studio parameter selects the studio for the entire K2661. When FXCtrl is Program or Setup, this parameter is unavailable, since setup selection and FXMods are determined by program or setup selection. When FXCtrl is Auto, setup selection and FXMods
