Editing

To bypass an effect press the
EFF BYP
button. Press it again to activate the effect. Effects can also
be bypassed remotely using external controllers (i.e. MIDI continuous controllers). If an effect
doesn't seem to be doing anything make sure it hasn't been bypassed accidentally. A bypassed effect
will have a dotted outline in the layout
EDIT
page and in the effect page the effect name will
alternate with the word “BYPASSED”
NOTE
: Many effects allow you to bypass an effect via a modifier (see Modifiers section). This allows you
to bypass an effect using any controller, not just a MIDI CC (continuos controller). For example, you
can use an LFO to toggle the bypass state on and off at a desired rate. Or you could use the envelope
follower to toggle the bypass state depending upon the level of the input signal.
To use this feature select the
BYP MODE
parameter and press
ENTER
. This will allow you to attach a
modifier to the bypass state. When the modifier value is greater than 50% the effect will be engaged,
when less than 50% the effect will be bypassed.
The rightmost switch on the
MIX
page is labeled GLBL MIX. This is the global mix control enable
for the block. When on, the mix for this block will be altered by the Global Mix control. This is used
to allow overall mixing of effects to compensate for venue differences. For example, you've
tweaked your patch "MY MONSTER SOUND" in your rehearsal studio and everyone thinks it
sounds great. You then get out to the gig and the effects are too prominent because the room has
hard floors and tin ceilings. What do you do? One solution is to frantically edit the patch going
through each block and adjusting the mixes. OR… since you previously turned on
GLBL MIX on
the desired effects blocks you have a "master" effects control at your disposal. We'll talk more about
the Global Parameters later.
Output Mixer
The main output has a four channel mixer for fine-tuning a preset’s mix. It is accessed from the
LAYOUT
menu on the
MIX
page. Each row in the layout has its own individual level and balance
control. The overall level of the preset can be controlled using the
MAIN slider.
Attaching Controllers
To attach a controller select the knob that you would like to control and press
ENTER
. If that
parameter is capable of being controlled (indicated by the
-[ ]-
icon below the knob) you will be
taken to the
MODIFIER
menu to select the control parameters. See the Controllers and Modifiers
chapter for more details.
Saving Presets
All editing in the Axe-Fx modifies data in what’s known as the “edit buffer”. Upon saving, the
contents of the edit buffer are written to a memory location. If a new preset is recalled prior to saving
all the edits are lost. Recalling a preset loads the data from that preset into the edit buffer.
