Programming Your PC2R
Effects Edit Mode
4-29
In addition to the usual four parameters, these effects have three additional parameters
parameters at the end of the FXB Select menu.
Also, there’s a special editing case. If the KB3 effect you’re editing is assigned to a KB3 program
and the FX Chg Mode parameter is set to Auto (which is the default), you’ll notice that when
you enter the FXA Select menu, the first three parameters don’t have values; instead of values
you see (Program). That’s because in this special case, the values of these three parameters are
determined by the program settings, as described below:
Vibr/Chor Vibrato/Chorus (which is what the VC stands for in the names of some of these
effects). In KB3 mode, change this value with Red Knob D.
Low Rate The vibrato rate in KB3 mode when the Solo button is off. Change this value
using the Rotor Effects Low Rate parameter in the LFO menu in the KB3 Editor.
High Rate The vibrato rate in KB3 mode when the Solo button is on. Change this value
using the Rotor Effects High Rate parameter in the LFO menu in the KB3 Editor.
If the KB3 effect you’re editing is assigned to a setup or an Internal-Voices program—or when
it’s assigned to a KB3 program but FX Chg Mode is set to Panel—you can change the values of
these three parameters within Effects edit mode.
Saving Effects
If you’ve made changes while in Effects edit mode, you must store the changes if you want to
preserve them when you leave Effects edit mode. The basic procedure is as follows, although
you have different options depending on whether you’re working with programs or setups, and
whether you’re in the Internal bank or the User bank. We’ll get to that in a minute. For now we’ll
assume that you’ve edited the effects for a program in the Internal bank.
1. Change the effects as desired (either assign a new effect to one or both effect blocks, or edit
the parameters associated with one or both of the current effects).
2. Press Store. The Save dialog appears, looking something like this:
Replace|Effects|30?
Digital E Piano
The top line shows the ID of the program whose effects you’ve changed, and the bottom
line shows the program’s name.
3. Press Yes, and the display tells you that the effects are saved to the current program.
You’ve modified the factory settings of the current effect, but only with respect to Program 030. The
effect retains its factory settings in other programs or setups that use that effect. So you’ve really
modified only the current program, overwriting its factory settings (don’t worry; you can get
them back, as described in Restoring Factory Effects on page 4-4).
