Part V– Effects

Chapter 14 – Working with Effects

The Philosophy – how it works

The SX-1 has four slots in which to load effects,
named quadrants. Each quadrant is capable of load-
ing any of the effects that come with the SX-1. The
list of included effects includes delays, choruses,
compressors, distortion, microphone and speaker
simulation and reverb. In most cases the SX-1 has the
ability to run four discreet versions of any of these
plugins, reverb being the most obvious exception
(you can run two TC Reverbs at once, along with two
other plugins of your choice).

Each effect comes with presets that allow you to use
them more easily, and these presets can be recalled at
any time. Double-clicking on a preset in the list will
load that effect’s parent into the current quadrant,
which means that double-clicking on the

Metallic Tone

preset will automatically load the Flanger plugin.
All of the parameters for the effects are available for
automation, both in real time as well as being drawn
onscreen.

VGA Effects Screens

From the

MAIN DISPLAY MODES

section, press

EFFECTS

. This takes you to the main VGA effects

control screen. From here you can assign effects to
one of the four effect busses, save and recall effects

to the effects library feature, and change individual
effect parameters (individual effect algorithms are
covered in the next chapter).
