The Effects Chain Editor
The MOD Pages
8-2
Like all other representations of signal paths in the Forte SE display, the program signal
moves from left to right through the Chain. Use the cursor buttons to select an eect-box
or empty spot in the Chain. e eect loaded into the selected eect-box can be changed
by numeric entry, with the Alpha Wheel, or with the +/– buttons; and can be changed with
either the eect-box or the Eect eld at the bottom of the page highlighted. e +/- double
button press will jump to the next eect “category.”
Pressing the Insert soft button adds a new eect-box to the Chain in the currently selected
block-slot, and pushes the currently selected eect-box down the Chain to the right. (If you
have run out of DSP units, you will not be able to create additional eects boxes.) Pressing
the Remove soft button takes the currently selected eect out of the Chain.
Editing Effect-boxes
To edit the parameters of an eect, select its eect-box on the MAIN page and press the Edit
button. For each eect, there are one or more pages of parameters that are specic to that
eect. See Effects Parameters on page 8-5 for details on parameters for each type of eect.
Any parameter controlled by an eect Mod will display a value of FxMod and cannot be
edited. To return to the MAIN page of the chain editor, press the Exit button.
The MOD Pages
ere are six pages for conguring eects mods: MOD1 - MOD6. All pages are essentially
identical in appearance and function. See below for an example MOD page:
Box
e Box parameter species which eect-box in the Chain to which the Mod will be applied.
Param
e Param parameter selects which parameter of the specied box’s eect will be modulated.
Adjust
e Adjust parameter sets a xed value for the specied parameter (Param) that is applied
before any modulation.
