Basic Effects Mode
The CTRL Page
Effects Channel (FX Chan)
This parameter is closely linked to the FXCtrl parameter—the values available for FX Chan
depend on the setting for FXCtrl. FX Chan affects both studio selection and real-time control of
KDFX—again, depending on the value of FXCtrl.
When FXCtrl is Master
The effects channel is irrelevant when FXCtrl is Master. KDFX is under the control of the studio
you select with the Studio parameter. No FXMods apply.
When FXCtrl is Program
The available values for FX Chan are Current, and 116. When FX Chan is Current, studio
selection is determined by whatever program is assigned to the current K2661 channel (as
shown in the top line of the display in Program mode or Effects mode). That program’s FXMods
are also enabled, and they respond to MIDI Controller messages received on the current
channel.
When FX Chan is any value from 1 to 16, studio selection is determined as follows: in Program
mode it’s determined by the program assigned to that channel; in Setup mode, it’s determined
by the program in the zone assigned to that channel. FXMods respond to MIDI Controller
messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program on the channel specied by
FX Chan respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the FXMods of the program in
the zone using the channel specied by FX Chan respond to messages on that channel.
The Studio parameter disappears, since studio selection is under program control.
When FXCtrl is Setup
The only available value for FX Chan is None, since studio selection and FXMods are
determined by the program in Zone 1 of the current setup. The FXMods of the program in the
zone using the channel specied by FX Chan respond to MIDI Controller messages on that
channel. The Studio parameter disappears, since studio selection is under setup control.
When FXCtrl is Auto
The available values for FX Chan are Current, and 116. When FX Chan is Current, studio
selection and FXMods are determined as follows: in Program mode, it’s determined by the
program assigned to the current K2661 MIDI channel; in Setup mode, it’s determined by the
program in Zone 1 of the current setup; in Song mode (or during song playback regardless of
mode), it’s determined by the program on the channel designated as the song’s effects channel—
as specied by the EffectChan parameter on the COMMON page in the Song Editor. FXMods
respond to MIDI Controller messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program
on the K2661’s current channel respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the
FXMods of the program in Zone 1 of the current setup respond to messages on the channel used
by Zone 1.
When FX Chan is any value from 1 to 16, studio selection is determined as follows: in Program
mode it’s determined by the program assigned to that channel; in Setup mode, it’s determined
by the program in Zone 1 of the setup (ignoring the FX CHan setting). FXMods respond to MIDI
Controller messages as follows: in Program mode, the FXMods of the program on the channel
specied by FX Chan respond to messages on that channel; in Setup mode, the FXMods of the
program in Zone 1 of the setup respond to messages on that channel (again, ignoring FX Chan).
Studio
When FXCtrl is Master, the Studio parameter selects the studio for the entire K2661. When
FXCtrl is Program or Setup, this parameter is unavailable, since setup selection and FXMods are
determined by program or setup selection. When FXCtrl is Auto, setup selection and FXMods
