The FX Page
Use the FX page to apply audio eects to a Program. You can select an Insert eects Chain
and 2 Aux eects Chains, all of which apply to all layers in the Program (unless Layer FX are
used, see below for details). In Program Mode, Programs on all MIDI channels share the Aux
chains of the Program on the currently selected MIDI channel.
e PC4’s Chains contain a variety of eects. Each Chain displays icons representing the
type of eects contained in the Chain, as well as the order of eects in the Chain (signal
ows from left to right). e PC4’s Chains include dierent types of reverb, chorus, delay,
anger, phaser, tremolo, panner, rotary, distortion, EQ, compression, lter, envelope
following lter, frequency stimulator, ring modulator, frequency oset, pitch LFO, and
stereoizer.
e selected Chain can be edited by pressing the EDIT button. See Ch. 4 The Effects
Chain Editor for details.
DSP Resources and DSP Units
A Program can have up to 8 Insert Chains (any combination of common and layer specic
inserts) and 2 Aux Chains.
e PC4 has 32 “units” of eects resources that can be used to load eects chains. Each FX
chain requires a certain number of FX units in order to load, depending on its complexity.
e top line of the display shows a fraction with the number of units used by the selected
channel, over the total number of units used. When attempting to use more than 32 units of
FX resources at once, some FX Chains will not be loaded.
