Many of the Factory Programs do not use more than 2 or 3 IFX. So you
can get at least 2 or 3 programs into the Sequencer sounding nearly
identical, but it takes some additional work. Copying in the first one is
relatively easy, as explained elsewhere in this FAQ. However, when you
want to start adding others (and copying their FX settings), it becomes
more complicated.
For example, let’s say you copied Prog A002: Chipper Dayglow into the
Seq according to the instructions in this FAQ; now you want to add
another Program with effects to it. By going to Seq (7.2-1) [Menu]-[IFX]-
[Setup], we can see that this Program is already using 3 IFX; you have
only 2 left to assign to other timbres. So to “copy” another Program into
timbre 2 (for example), you need to manually copy the IFX from that
Program one by one, inserting them into the IFX slots that are not used.
This is done using the IFX Utilities to copy from one IFX and assign to
another.
Note that you can also run more than 1 timbre through the same set of
IFX; you could sequence a completely different thing on another track,
and then assign it to the same IFX as Chipper Dayglow if desired, by
setting the Bus Select the same way on (7.1-1/2) [Menu]-[BUS]-
[BUS..8/16]-> Bus Select. You may find that some of the other things
you want to add sound good (but different) through the FX that are
already assigned.
Note that in the case of the MFX, you can either use these on all timbres,
or have a timbre bypass them, but it is not possible to have different
MFX on different timbres. So in this case, if the MFX are a substantial
part of the sound for Chipper Dayglow, you may have to compromise how
certain other tracks sound. Or figure out how to duplicate the MFX
settings by adding 2 more IFX to Chipper Dayglow, and then you will
have the MFX completely open to add to the rest of the Mix.
Note that is how it is in nearly all music workstations, and actually, the
Triton and Karma Effects architecture is one of the more flexible,
powerful designs around.
