The Effects Editor
The Effects Editor has two functions: changing the effects associated with the current program
or setup (or the entire PC2), and modifying the nature of the effects that are currently in use.
Effects Change Mode
The effects change mode determines whether the PC2 automatically selects effects when you
select a program or setup. The effects change mode is controlled by the FX Chg Mode parameter,
which you can select by pressing the FX Mode button in the Effects region of the front panel. By
default, this parameterÕs value is Auto, which means that regardless of your performance mode,
the PC2 automatically selects the effects associated with whatever object you selectÑa program
or a setup. FX Chg Mode is closely tied to the FX Channel parameter, which determines whether
a program change on a particular channel can also change the current effect.
If you change the value of FX Chg Mode to Panel, the PC2 doesnÕt automatically select effects
when you select a program or setup, and the only way to change the effects is to select them
manually using the Select buttons for FX-A and FX-B. When you set FX Chg Mode to Panel, the
FX Mode buttonÕs LED lights up to indicate that effect selection is Òlocked,Ó and the effects you
select manually apply to whatever program or setup you select, regardless of your performance
mode.
Setting the Effects Change Mode
In virtually all cases, you can leave both FX Chg Mode and FX Channel at their default settings
(Auto and Current). ThereÕs one case, however, in which you might want to change them.
Applying Effects Globally
Suppose youÕre in the studio, and you want to use the same reverb settings regardless of the
programs or setups you play. In this case, set FX Chg Mode to Panel, which prevents program
changes (either from the PC2 or via an external MIDI source) from changing any effects settings.
The only way to change the current effect is by using the Select buttons for FX-A and FX-B, and
changing the effect assignment manually.
ThereÕs another important point to remember about using Panel as the value for FX Chg Mode:
you can still edit the current set of effects, but you canÕt save them to the current program or
setup. Our explanation of the Effects Editor assumes that you have FX Chg Mode set to the
default setting of Auto.
See Effects Change Mode (FX Chg Mode) on page 5-25 for a more detailed description of
FX Chg Mode.
