About Auxiliary Effects
Programs and Setups both have an auxiliary effect. An auxiliary effect is an effect that is not
in the direct path of the sound, but rather, it “receives” the sound, and then outputs effect-
altered sound, which is mixed back with the original sound. The following diagram illustrates
the signal path of a sound through the auxiliary effect:
Common Parameters
In addition to the Zone-specic parameters described above, a Setup has three parameters
common to all of its Zones. These parameters determine the auxiliary effect of the Setup.
Aux Effect Override
The Aux Effect Override parameter determines whether or not the auxiliary effect of the
Setup is overridden with another effect. You can set this parameter to either Prog or to any
Chain Effect number between 0 and 1087.
Setting this parameter to Prog results in the auxiliary effect of one of the Programs of the
Setup being used—you specify which Program with the other common parameter Aux
Effect Channel, which is described below. Setting Aux Effect Override to any of the Effect
Chains allows you to select an auxiliary effect not present in any of the Programs being used
in the Setup. Either way, the same auxiliary effect is used for all of the Zones of the Setup.
Aux Effect Channel
With Prog selected for the Aux Effect Override parameter, the Aux Effect Channel
parameter allows you to choose which Zone’s auxiliary effect is used for the entire Setup.
You can set this parameter to any of the MIDI channels of the Zones currently in use
within the Setup.
Selecting the channel of one of the active Zones within the Setup will load the auxiliary
effect of that Zone’s Program as the auxiliary effect of the Setup. Note that changing this
parameter only results in a change in sound if Prog is selected for Aux Effect Override. If
an Effect Chain is specied for Aux Effect Override, then that effect—not the effect on the
channel specied for Aux Effect Channel—will be in use.
