Hi!
I don't have idea where to find answer on my question in manual. I was looking for, but there are so many pages to find it. So, this is a problem. Sometimes, when I add a new zone, in setup mode, there is no effect from that program, and sometimes there is, i don't know how. Ok, I know how to add. Aux1, Aux2, and that's it. But sometimes, I have effect on all zones, and effect is from one zone. E.g. I don't want piano reverb on lead, and strings, but don't know how to turn it off. I am so confused with it.

Hi,

The unit has a limited number of FX = 16.

Each program can use from 0 to 16 units of FXs.

So, if you have 1 program per zone... well, you might run out of FXs at some point.

Regards,
Fran

Just to add to that. The Aux FX are global to the machine, and are controlled by a single MIDI channel. In program mode, the current program's Aux FX are loaded and used. In song mode and setup mode, however, this isn't the case. By whatever program is loaded into Channel 1, will control the Aux FX, but this can be changed.

The effect mode button can be used to override these manually.

Many programs (especially the factory defaults) have their effects loaded into the Aux Buss, rather than the insert busses, so when you start using them together, you may lose particular effects.

The FX DSP power limitations are controlled in the PC3 according to some simple rules. Unless FX are manually disabled, lower numbered channels have the priority for having FX loaded. If a channel needs more FX than is available, all the FX on that channel will be disabled. If the next higher numbered channel has a lower FX requirement, and is within the FX limitations, then they will load.

From a practical point of view, if you are a heavy user of FX, you can probably expect to have about 3-4 channels loaded. If you are a light user (delay - reverb), 7-8 channels is about what you can expect. If you are careful about harvesting the reverbs off to Aux Busses that are shared between channels then you may get more, but this will take planning about how the sounds are going to work together.
