Configuring Split Block Options
It is possible to customize the options for a Split block to determine how your signal
is fed into Paths A and B.
TIP: Remember that both Paths A and B are stereo signal paths, therefore, the
same routing and block principles still apply to each Path - see "Block Order
and Stereo Imaging" on page 32.
1. In the Signal Flow view, turn the Big Knob to select the Split
block, at the point where the two paths split.
The Split block appears only when selected.
By default, the Split Y type block is selected, as displayed on FS3. Adjust the
amount of signal fed to each path using the BalnceA and BalnceB parameters.
Optionally, you can choose a dierent Split block type with dierent routing op-
tions.
2. Touch Footswitch 2 and press the Big Knob.
The FS3 scribble strip now shows the menu where you can choose between Split
Y, Split A/B or Split Crossover types. Parameters for each of these Split block
types are described in the following tables.
Split > Y Settings
By default, a Split > Y appears any time parallel Path B is created.
Knob Parameter Description
1 BalnceA
Adjusts the left/right stereo balance of Path A.
2 BalnceB
Adjusts the left/right stereo balance of Path B.
Split > A/B Settings
The signal can be sent in dierent amounts to Paths A (upper) and B (lower).
Knob Parameter Description
1 RoutTo
Determines the amount of the signal sent to Path A vs. Path B.
Press the knob to set to Even Split.
Split > Crossover Settings
Treble frequencies are sent to Path A and bass frequencies are sent to Path B.
Knob Parameter Description
1 Freq
Any signal above this frequency is sent to Path A (upper path);
any signal below this frequency is sent to Path B (lower path).
2 Reverse
When on, reverses the path assignments (any signal above
the crossover frequency is sent to Path B, any signal below
the crossover frequency is sent to Path A).
Mixer Settings
Page Knob Parameter Description
1
1 A Level
Adjusts the output level of Path A (upper path).
2 A Pan
Adjusts the left/right stereo balance of Path A.
3 B Level
Adjusts the output level of Path B (lower path).
2
4 B Pan
Adjusts the left/right stereo balance of Path B.
5 B Polar
Inverts the polarity of Path B. Typically, this should be
set to "Normal."
6 Level
Adjusts the overall output level of the Mixer block.
Dynamic DSP
Like nearly all modern audio processors, the HX Eects engine is based on DSP (Digi-
tal Signal Processing). Some models require more DSP horsepower than others, so it
makes logical sense that fewer of those models could exist within a preset. To work
around this, some processors restrict you to one reverb, one delay, one pitch shifter,
etc. With HX Eects hardware, we feel it's important to let you keep adding whatever
you want to your Signal Flow, even if you may eventually run out of DSP.
As you approach the max. DSP limit for the current preset, the HX Eects hardware's
"Dynamic DSP" functionality automatically hides eects models from the menus that
would result in exceeding the DSP limit. To follow are some tips to get the most out
of your device.
Tips to Optimize DSP
• Some block types use much more DSP than others, such as Reverbs, IRs,
and Pitch Shifters. EQ, Dynamics, Volume/Pan, and Send/Return blocks use
relatively little.
• Some models may use more DSP than others in the same category, there-
fore, you may nd that choosing a similar type of eect within a category can
reduce the DSP load, thus allowing you to utilize more blocks.
