The Effects Chain Editor
Pressing the Edit button while a Chain (other than 0 None) is highlighted—on any of the
various eects pages—will call up the Chain editor. From the Program editor, the program’s
Insert and Aux Chains can be edited from the PROGFX and LYRFX pages. In Multi Edit
Mode, Chains selected for Aux overrides can be edited from the AUX1 and AUX2 pages.
A Chain is made up of one or more eect-boxes, with each box containing a single eect.
You can have up to 16 eect-boxes in a Chain. e settings for all of the parameters of
each eect-box are also stored within the Chain. ere are 30 Mod Controls that allow for
real-time control over any parameter from any eect-box in the Chain. Per Chain Control
sources are also provided to be used as inputs to the eect Mods (two FXLFOs, two FXASRs,
and four FXFUNs.) ese work similarly to the LFOs, ASRs and FUNs in Program mode,
but are only available for use with the eect Mods.
The MAIN Page
In the Chain Editor, pressing the MAIN soft button calls up the MAIN page. e MAIN
page is where you congure the length of a Chain and select the individual eects that make
up the Chain. The Chain editor MAIN page of the Chain 269 PnoEnhancRvb3 appears as
shown below:
At the top right of the display is the number of DSP units used by the currently selected
eect- box, and by the Chain as a whole. 2/5 Units indicates that the current eect-box is
using two DSP units and the Chain is using a total of ve DSP units for all of its eects
boxes. ere are a total of 32 units available for all of the Chains that are currently loaded by
programs and any active Aux overrides from Multi Mode.
NOTE: In some congurations, not all 32 units are available for use with multi-unit
eects because of the way the DSP is allocated internally.
