Lighted effect buttons indicate which effect blocks are active and turned on in the currently loaded program. (Effects can be active, i.e. available for use in a program, but bypassed and, therefore, "off".) To identify the particular effect which is running, press and hold any of the effect buttons. A message informs you if the effect block is active, or not. The name of the particular effect in use in an active block is identified by name.

To access the edit parameters of any active effect, press Edit, then select the effect by pressing the appropriate button. Use the knob and the < and > buttons to select and modify the effect parameters. Press Edit again to return to the Edit menu. See Chapter 3: Editing for more information.
