	TERIZE to highlight that effect: press MOSAIC to highlight that
	effect: and so on.
	If the selected effect matches the currently highlighted one on the
	Input Effects menu, pressing the EFFECTS button increments the
	effect’s parameter value by one.

SHIFT+0 (zero)	Resets all effects to 0 (off) for the selected channel.

KEY COMBINATION	RESULT

SHIFT+EFFECTS button	Increments the parameter value by one for the selected effect and
	applies it to the CURRENT source.

SHIFT+EFFECTS	Temporarily disables and re-enables Input Effects from being
	sent to Program out. Refer to the following paragraph.

When the Effects LED light is lit, Input Effects are enabled. The MX-4 DV applies the effects according to the parameter values for each effect.

When you use the SHIFT+EFFECTS key combination to disable Input Effects, the MX-4 DV turns off the LED light. It does not change any effects parameter values, but it does prevent the current Input Effects from being used. Press SHIFT+EFFECTS again to enable them.
