At this point, the function buttons work as shown
below.
fig.05-02(effectsel.eps)
[F1 (Preset)]: Displays the Preset patch list.
[F2 (User)]: Displays the User patch list.
[F4 (Exec)]: Exits the screen after selecting the
effect.
[F6 (EXIT)]: Exits the screen without selecting the
effect.
6. After selecting the effect, press [F4 (Exec)].
The EFX1 settings screen reappears in the display.
7. Check the effect to make sure that the sound is
actually being played. Repeat Step 4 for any other
patches whose effects you want to confirm.
8. After you have checked the patches, press [PLAY
(DISPLAY)].
Return to Play condition.
* Patches using the following algorithms can not be selected
for EFX2 and EFX4. A horizontal line is drawn through
the effect name in such cases. Please select patches using
these algorithms for use with EFX1 or EFX3.
• Reverb
• Gated Reverb
• Vocorder 2
• Voice Transformer

Creating New Effects Sounds
When creating a new effect, first select the existing
patch whose sound is closest to the “image” of the patch
you wish to create, and then alter that patch settings.
Since changes to effects settings are temporary, they
are lost once you select another patch or recall a differ-
ent Scene. When saving changed effects settings, either
save them to the User Patches or store the mixer set-
tings as a Scene.
1. Using the procedure described in “Selecting
Effects (Patch)” (p. 108), call up the patch contain-
ing the effect on which you will base your new
effect.
The following screen is displayed.

2. Press [ ] and [ ] to move the cursor on the
screen. When you select a patch with an algorithm
in which the effect can be turned on and off, you
can use the TIME/VALUE dial to switch the
On/Off value for each of the effect blocks. The
display of effect blocks that are currently on is
highlighted. Move the cursor to the effect block
whose settings you wish to change.
3. Press [F3 (EDIT)].
A list of settings included in the effect block is displayed.
4. Press [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the
cursor on the screen. Move the cursor to the set-
ting you want to change, and rotate the
TIME/VALUE dial. For more detailed informa-
tion about the kinds of setting included in each
effect block, please refer to the “Algorithm List”
(Appendices p. 81).

About Algorithms
An algorithm determines the composition or struc-
ture of an effect. The VS-1680 features 34 different
algorithms. The settings for the effects in each
patch use at least one of these algorithms. Check
the algorithms used in each patch in “Preset Patch
List” (Appendices p. 74). For details on each algo-
rithm, refer to “Algorithm List” (Appendices p. 81).
