Chapter10—Internal effects

❒Recalling an effect program from the library

The AW4416 provides 41 effect types such as Reverb Hall, Gate Reverb, and Ste- reo Delay. The effect type library contains factory-set effect programs that use these effect types. Here’s how to recall an effect program of the effect type you wish to use.

1.Press the [AUX 7] key → [F2] key.

The AUX7/EFF1 screen Library page will appear. A list of effect programs will be displayed.

Tip!

•In general, the effect library is common to both effects 1 and 2. However, effect program no. 19 “HQ-Pitch” can be used only by effect 2.

•Effect library 001–041 contain read-only effect programs using the corre- sponding effect type.

•It is not possible to change the effect type of the currently used effect program. For this reason, you must load a program that uses the desired effect type from the library even if you wish to create an effect program from scratch.

2.Move the cursor to the list, and rotate the [DATA/JOG] dial to select the program that you wish to recall.

When you select a program, the effect type used by that program will be dis- played at the right of the list. For this example, let’s select the room reverb pro- gram “Reverb Room.”
