When FX Mode is Program
The available values for FX Chan are Current, and 1Ð16. When FX Chan is Current, studio 
selection is determined by whatever program is assigned to the current K2600 channel (as 
shown in the top line of the display in Program mode or Effects mode). That programÕs FXMods 
are also enabled, and they respond to MIDI Controller messages received on the current 
channel.
When FX Chan is any value from 1 to 16, studio selection is determined as follows: in Program 
mode itÕs determined by the program assigned to that channel; in Setup mode, itÕs determined 
by the program in the zone assigned to that channel. FXMods respond to MIDI Controller 
messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program on the channel speciÞed by 
FX Chan respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the FXMods of the program in 
the zone using the channel speciÞed by FX Chan respond to messages on that channel.
The Studio parameter disappears, since studio selection is under program control.
When FX Mode is Setup
The only available value for FX Chan is None, since studio selection and FXMods are 
determined by the program in Zone 1 of the current setup. The FXMods of the program in the 
zone using the channel speciÞed by FX Chan respond to MIDI Controller messages on that 
channel. The Studio parameter disappears, since studio selection is under setup control.
When FX Mode is Auto
The available values for FX Chan are Current, and 1Ð16. When FX Chan is Current, studio 
selection and FXMods are determined as follows: in Program mode, itÕs determined by the 
program assigned to the current K2600 MIDI channel; in Setup mode, itÕs determined by the 
program in Zone 1 of the current setup; in Song mode (or during song playback regardless of 
mode), itÕs determined by the program on the channel designated as the songÕs effects channelÑ
as speciÞed by the EffectChan parameter on the COMMON page in the Song Editor. FXMods 
respond to MIDI Controller messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program 
on the K2600Õs current channel respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the 
FXMods of the program in Zone 1 of the current setup respond to messages on the channel used 
by Zone 1.
When FX Chan is any value from 1 to 16, studio selection is determined as follows: in Program 
mode itÕs determined by the program assigned to that channel; in Setup mode, itÕs determined 
by the program in Zone 1 of the setup (ignoring the FX CHan setting). FXMods respond to MIDI 
Controller messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program on the channel 
speciÞed by FX Chan respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the FXMods of the 
program in Zone 1 of the setup respond to messages on that channel (again, ignoring FX Chan).
Studio
When FX Mode is Master, the Studio parameter selects the studio for the entire K2600. When 
FX Mode is Program or Setup, this parameter is unavailable, since setup selection and FXMods 
are determined by program or setup selection. When FX Mode is Auto, setup selection and 
FXMods are under program or setup control, but the Studio parameter is still available; its value 
reßects the studio assignment for the program or setup that was current before you entered 
Effects mode. You can change the value of the Studio parameter while in Effects mode, so you 
can hear how different studios affect the current program or setup, without having to enter the 
Program or Setup Editor. Any changes you make here revert to their previous settings when you 
exit Effects mode.
