8.2 FX
The FX button gives you access to a set of screens that let you assign and configure
the built-in Send FX and Insert FX processors in your StudioLive. When you first press
FX, the FX Rack screen appears on the touchscreen.
This screen displays the current effect processor inserted on each of the four internal
effect buses. From here, you can mute each effect. Touching an effect’s name will
open the effects editor for that effects slot.
Each of the four effects processors is also equipped with a physical mute button in
the Effects Master section on your StudioLive mixer.
A Tap-Tempo button is also provided to control the tempo for any of the delay effects.
If you have just one send FX slot occupied by a delay effect, this button will set its
tempo. If you have more than one delay effect assigned, you can choose which of
the multiple delays are governed by this button in your FX settings. To synchronize a
delay effect to music as you hear it, tap this button in rhythm with the music (in 1/4-
note, or one-beat intervals), until the delay effect is synced to your liking.
Power User Tip: The Tap button also act as a “null” button for parameters in the Fat
Channel, Graphic EQ, and FX processors. Press and hold Tap and adjust the control of
your choice to return that control to its default setting.
At the top of each effect, you will find the effects type drop down menu. Tap to
change the effects type.
You will also find the presets button. Tap to open the presets screen.
8.2.1 Digital XL Reverb
This convolution-style reverb emulates an acoustic space to add life and vibrancy and
provides the following controls:
• Predelay. Sets the length of short delay before the onset of reverberation, lending
a sense of space to the reflections.
• Reflection. This control allows you to set the level (in decibels) of the early
reflections. The louder the early reflections, the smaller the room will seem.
• Size. Sets the width of the stereo image.
• LPF Frequency. Use this control to attenuate low frequencies that can muddy
a reverb.
