TheCHANFXpageinEffectsmode—ortheFXpageineitherSetuporSongmode—provides

InEffectsmode,Setupmode,andSongmode,theAUXFX1andAUXFX2pagesprovide

Chainsarespecifiedbytheprogramonthecurrentchannel—or,inSetupmodeandSongmode,
bytheprogramonthespecifiedAux

individualprogramscanbesettofixedvaluesontheAuxOverride

ThisisparticularlyusefulinSetupmodeandSongmode,whicharemultitimbralmodes.Ifyou
wantedtoapplyaneffecttoallzonesortracksinthecurrentsetuporsong,changingeach

units.Bysettingthe
AuxoverrideEffecttoyourdesiredChain,youcanapplythesameeffecttoupto16zonesor
trackswithouthavingtouseupanymoreDSPunits.
NoticethatinProgrammode,ifanAuxeffectisoverrideninEffectmode,thetoplineof
the

SincetheChainisnotapplied,thePC3Kdoesnotallocateresourcesforit.
