CONFIGURATIONS
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, move the cursor to the Function field in
the upper section of the display and turn the [VALUE] knob counterclockwise to
select the Configuration function. The display should look like this (from Mix Edit
Mode):
Send1:CONFIG πå
1 REVERB
Press the [CURSOR
] button to advance the cursor to the lower line of the
display, and turn the [VALUE] knob 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:
