FX1/FX2
FX1/FX2
The PowerMate offers two independently controllable, identically confi gured 24-
bit stereo effect units – FX1 and FX2. Each unit provides 99 program presets,
which are selected by the use of the UP/DOWN buttons. The 99 presets are
divided into groups according to their different effect structure, as shown on a
printed listing. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending
order, where higher numbers provide the same FX type with increased intensity.
Presets 1 - 20 offer high quality reverberation effect programs that are equally
suitable for live performance, recording studio or home recording applications.
Program numbers 21 - 40 provide mixed effect types of echo/reverb and chorus/
reverb while the numbers 41 - 60 offer different delay effects. The last group
from 61 - 99 provides different fl anger, chorus, and doubling effects presets as
well as special delay and reverb programs. During the initialization of the FX
units (when switching on the power of the PowerMate), preset 05 (Large Hall
3 Bright) is selected for the FX1 while the FX2 unit is set to preset 55 (Delay
Mono 250ms). These two effects are similarly suitable for live performances
and recording applications. This is the factory-preset confi guration that can
be changed any time. For further information, please refer to the paragraph
Changing FX Start Programs.
The two effect programs are equally suitable for live performance or recording
applications and can be used separately or together. For testing, evaluating and
selecting effect programs, please also refer to the supplementary information
form EFFECT PRESETS, which provides detailed description of all effect
presets. This listing contains all preset names together with the corresponding
effect structure, fi eld of application, and frequency characteristics. Take your
time to test all presets and select the ones that are best suited for your specifi c
application. Program number “0” selects a Slap Back Echo, which is mainly for
servicing and testing only, and therefore is not included in the effects listing on
the front panel. Also provided is a FOOTSWITCH connector, which allows the
connection of a footswitch pedal to remotely control the FX units’ EFFECT ON/
OFF function. If your footswitch features a LED – like the optionally available
DYNACORD FS 11 does – this indicator will light when the effect is activated
(EFFECT ON).
Changing FX Start Programs
In the factory shipping state, the FX units start with the programs 05/55. If you
prefer different programs, you can change and store the new settings in the
programming mode. To assign new start programs, please proceed as follows:
1. Hold down the two DOWN buttons of FX1 and FX2 simultaneously while
switching on the PowerMate.
2. “Prog” appears briefl y on the display. Programming mode is now active.
A software-related side effect is that all buttons behave a bit slower than
usual.
3. Release the two DOWN buttons and select the desired start programs.
4. Press the two UP buttons to store the displayed effect numbers as your
new start programs. The FX unit acknowledges the save procedure by
briefl y indicating “Prog” on the display.
