Effects Buses

Effects Buses
The four insert Effects buses (FXBuses) receive the signals from the Input Editor and process
them. Press the FXBUS soft button to go to one of the FXBUS pagesÑthe Þrst time you do this
after entering the Studio Editor, it will be the FXBus1 page.To go to the other FXBUS pages, use
the Chan/Bank Up and Down buttons. The number of the FXBus appears in the upper right
corner.
The Arrow Meter
There are arrow meters on the FXBUS pages as well, right next to the number of the FXBus.
These tell you when signal is coming into the bus, and also when signal is present inside the bus,
so if you have a long reverb or repeating delay, for example, the arrow will keep ßashing as long
as the processing is going on.
FX Preset
The Þrst parameter on an FXBUS page is the FXBusÕs FX preset. Set the cursor on it, and use the
Alpha wheel to scroll through the FX presets currently in memory. If an FX preset name comes
up in parentheses, for example, (Really Big Plate), it means there is not enough processing
power (PAUs) available at the moment to use this FX preset in this FXBus. WeÕll get to PAUs in a
moment. 199 No Effect is a ÒblankÓ FX preset, in which all signals pass straight through without
any processing. It can be used as a starting point for creating your own FX preset. If you want to
set up a ÒdummyÓ effects bus to pass signal directly to the Aux bus, use 0 None.
Bus Outputs
The parameters on the right side of this page determine how the effected signal gets to the
KDFX outputs. Each FXBus has four outputs, all of which are stereo:
¥ Its own dry (pre-effect) output
¥ Its own wet (post-effect) output
¥ The Mix bus
¥ The Aux bus
The output to the Mix effects bus has a level control with a range of -79.0 to +24.0 dB, and an Off
position. It also has a Balance control that works similarly to the Balance control on the inputs,
by setting the relative levels of the two output channels. The signal is mixed with similar signals
from the other FXBuses onto the Mix bus, which can be accessed on the OUTPUT page.
The output to the Aux bus has an identical pair of controls. Its signal goes to the global Aux
effects bus, where it is mixed with similar signals from the other FXBuses, and then put through
the Auxiliary Effects processor. From there it can be accessed on the OUTPUT page.
