Getting Started Understanding Effect Algorithms and Program Structures Effect algorithms Program structures This unit contains three types of effect algorithms: 4ch, 2ch, Each program can contain up two effects (FxA and FxB) and Mono-Pair. depending on the type of effect selected. If a 2ch or Mono-Pair effects are selected, the program 4ch contains two effects (one, or both can be turned off if necessary). When a program contains two effects, the way n n the unit routes the signals through the e

Using the TAP function This function lets you change the value of certain time related parameters or trigger an effect by tapping on the ENTER (TAP) button. The parameter which responds to the TAP function is different for each effect, and not all effect have compatible parameters. However, many time related parameters (such as Delay Time) or parameters activated by a trigger (such as Key Trigger) are designed to work with the TAP function.
