Yamaha FX770 - Manual (Page 24)

Section 4: The Edit Mode
4.8 EDITING THE EFFECTS PARAMETERS
This is where we get to the heart of the FX770, editing the nine Effects Blocks. In this section weTl learn how to:
• Access the Ejfects Blocks for Editing
• Change the Effect Types
• Navigate the Effect Parameter pages and Values
The editing instructions that follow apply to all nine Effect Blocks. For specific information about each Effect Block and
its individual parameters, please refer to Sections 7.1 through 7.1.9. An Effect Block may be accessed for Editing at any
time while the FX770 is in EDIT Mode. Only one Effect Block may be selected for editing at any given time, but you may
edit several Effect Blocks in the same session (just not simultaneously).
To Access An Effect Block for Editing
1. Press the [EDIT] key to enter the Edit Mode.
2. From any page in the Edit Mode (except Effect copy). Press the [EFFECT SELECT] button of the Eflfect Block
that you wish to edit.
3. You are now in the Effect Edit Mode and you may change the Effect Type or navigate the Effect Parameters.
To Change the Effect Type
1. Follow the instructions above to access the Effect Block that you wish to Edit.
2. From any page in the Effect Edit Mode, Press the [EFF TYP] function key until you reach the Effect Type of
your choice (the Effect Type name will appear in the upper left hand comer of the LCD display).
3. You may now edit the Effect Parameters of the selected Effect.
To Navigate the Effect Pages and Parameter Values
1. Press the [EDIT] key to enter the Edit Mode, or verify that your FX770 is already in this Mode.
2. From any page in the Edit Mode, Press the [EFFECT SELECT] button of the Effect Block that you wish to edit.
You are now in the Effect Edit Mode.
3. Repeated pressing of the same [EFFECT SELECT] button will cycle the Pages of the currently selected Effect
Block. You may also use the [◄] cursor and [►] cursor keys to navigate through the Parameters.
USING THE BYPASS KEY DURING EFFECT EDITING
Individual Effect Blocks may be independently bypassed during the Effect Edit process. This is especially helpful
for isolating the Effect Block that you are currently editing, so you can focus you attention to the job at hand.
Additionally, the Bypass Key may be used to Select an Effect Block that may not be active in the Preset that you are
editing, thus enabling the Effect and allowing access to editing.
To Bypass or Enable an Effect Block during Effect Editing
1. If the Effect is active in the Preset being edited, push the [BYPASS] key to turn this Effect OFF. The green LED
will now “Flash” (off period longer than on) indicating that this Effect is now Bypassed.
2. If the Effect is not active in the Preset being edited, push the [BYPASS] key to turn this Effect ON. The green
LED will now “Blink” (on period longer than off) indicating that this Effect is now Active.
