7.2 Step FX Reference
The effects are contained into a library of 37 FX types which can be
selected into the step. The details for each effect varies depending on its
function. Also the interaction with other steps or the note or instrument may
be relevant for some effects. The descriptions are built into the FX menu,
but these are limited in the descriptions. A deeper understanding of the FX
is benecial and brings more clarity to what at rst glance can be confusing.
One effect can be loaded into a step FX slot. Each step has 2 FX slots so a
total of two FX are possible. While this may seem limiting it is worth
remembering that some traditional effects also exist in the audio signal chain.
For example delay. The FX should be considered more like mini applications
that not only affect the audio but also affect the behaviour of the step and
sometimes the pattern itself.
This section and following parts will hopefully demystify their use, especially
within pragmatic use case examples.
