Editing Effects: Chapter 7

ONFIGURATIONS
A Configuration is essentially the starting point of any Effects Patch. You must select
the Configuration you are going to use before making any other edits, since all
routings and parameters change to their default settings each time you change the
configuration. Each Configuration is a unique arrangement of multiple effect blocks,
distributed across the four effect sends. Some effect sends may have three different
effects (pitch, delay and reverb) on them. Configurations also determine where the
signal to a block comes from, and where the output of each block goes to -- the main
outputs, the next effect in line, or even to an effect block belonging to another effect
send. The Configuration diagrams on the next six pages provide a crucial “road map”
you’ll need to guide you through the many paths that are possible in each
configuration. Refer to them as you program the effect.
The five Effect Configurations are:
• Configuration #1: 1 Reverb
• Configuration #2: 2 Reverbs
• Configuration #3: Lezlie and Reverb
• Configuration #4: Reverb and EQ
• Configuration #5: Overdrive and Lezlie
The Configuration function is used to select the Configuration for the Effects Patch
you are editing. While in Effects Edit Mode, press the [40] button to select the
Configuration function. The display should look like this (from Mix Edit Mode):

Use the [s VALUE] and [VALUE t] buttons or the [EDIT VALUE] slider to select the
Configuration. As you scroll through the various Configurations, each one’s name will
appear in the lower right section of the display.
The following is a run-down of the various Configurations:
