Creating New Effects Sounds
When creating a new effect, first select the existing patch whose sound is closest to the “image” of the patch you wish to create, and then alter that patch set- tings.
Since changes to effects settings are temporary, they are lost once you select another patch or recall a differ- ent Scene. When saving changed effects settings, either save them to the User Patches or store the mixer set- tings as a Scene.
About Algorithms
An algorithm determines the composition or structure of an effect. The
1.Using the procedure described in “Selecting Effects (Patch)” (p. 70), call up the patch contain- ing the effect on which you will base your new effect.
2.Press PARAMETER [ 
].
When you select a patch with an algorithm in which the effect can be turned on and off, the following screen is displayed.
Block Block Block
(Off) (On) (On)
An effect block which is currently ON is displayed as “■” and an effect block which is currently OFF is dis- played as “ 
”
3.Use CURSOR [ 
] [ 
] to move the cursor to the effect block that you wish to turn on/off.
4.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. If an effect block is turned off, parameters related to that effect cannot be set.
5.Use PARAMETER [ 
] [ 
] to access the parameter that you wish to adjust.
6.Rotate the TIME/VALUE dial. Check the effect.
7.Repeat the Steps
8.Press PARAMETER [ 
] several times until “FX1 Nam=” appears in the display.
9.Assign a patch name. Use CURSOR [ 
] [ 
] so that the character you wish to change is blink- ing. Use the TIME/VALUE dial to select the desired character. A name of up to 12 characters can be assigned.
10.Save the effect. If you wish to keep the effect set- tings that you have modified, you must save the settings either as a User Patch or as mixer settings in a Scene. If you wish to use the effect settings in another song, save them as a User Patch. If you wish to use the effect settings in the currently selected song, save them as a Scene.
