Each Program has its own Effects Patch that is recalled when you select a Program in
Program Mode. However, since a Mix can have up to 16 Programs (one on each
Channel), you need to select which Channel’s Program you wish to use the Effects
Patch from. To select an Effects Patch, you must be in Mix Edit Mode, by pressing the
[EDIT] button once so that the display directly below the Mix Number reads either:
“MIX EDIT” or “MIX EDITED”.
➀
With the cursor in the upper display, use the [VALUE] knob to select the Effect
function, then press [CURSOR
▲
] to advance the cursor and turn the [VALUE]
knob to select page 2.
The display should look like this:
EFFECT πß

IDI Chan: 01
➁
Press [CURSOR
▲
] to advance the cursor; now you can select the Effect
Channel by turning the [VALUE] knob.
This parameter lets you select which Channel (1–16) of the Mix whose Effects Patch
you wish to use. If you set the Effect Channel to 1, the Mix will use the Effects Patch
used by the Program on Channel 1. The Effect Channel is also used to determine
what MIDI channel the Effects Patch will be set to for receiving MIDI controller
information for the Modulators (see the Mod section later in this chapter for more on
real-time MIDI control of effect parameters).

Press [

The display will look like this:

Press [CURSOR

Change function on and off by turning the [VALUE] knob.
The Effect Program Change parameter determines whether or not a MIDI Program
Change message received on the Effects Channel should only recall a new Program
(“Off”) or if the Effects of the newly selected Program should be recalled as well
(“On”). Usually you would want this off, so that the Effects in a Mix do not change
even though you may select different Programs for the Effects Channel.

The effect send levels and effect bus assignments are saved as part of a Program
(from Program Edit Mode), or as part of each Channel in a Mix (from Mix Edit
Mode). Keep in mind that these are separate from any changes that will be made to
the Effects Patch itself. If you are in Mix Mode and change the settings in both Mix
Edit and Effects Edit modes, you will have to STORE not only the Program that is on
the Effect Channel (thus storing its Effects Patch) but the selected Mix as well, in
order to have your changes remembered and heard the same way in the future. The
actual arrangement of depth of reverb, delay time, etc., is saved as part of the Effects
Patch when a Program is stored. It is possible for different Mixes to share the same
