The MAIN Page
In the Chain Editor, pressing the MAIN soft button calls up the MAIN page. This is where
you configure the length of a Chain and select the individual effects that make up the Chain.
At the top right of the display is the number of DSP units used by the currently selected
effect- box, and by the Chain as a whole. There are a total of 32 units available for all of
the Chains that are currently loaded by programs and any active Aux overrides from Multi
Mode.
NOTE: In some configurations, not all 32 units are available for use with multi-unit
effects because of the way the DSP is allocated internally.
Like all other representations of signal paths in the Forte display, the program signal moves
from left to right through the Chain. Use the cursor buttons to select an effect-box or empty
spot in the Chain. The effect loaded into the selected effect-box can be changed by numeric
entry, with the Alpha Wheel, or with the +/– buttons; and can be changed with either the
effect-box or the Effect field at the bottom of the page highlighted. The +/- double button
press will jump to the next effect “category.”
Pressing the INSPRE soft button adds a new effect-box to the Chain in the currently selected
block-slot, and pushes the currently selected effect-box down the Chain to the right. (If you
have run out of DSP units, you will not be able to create additional effects boxes.) Pressing
the REMOVE soft button takes the currently selected effect out of the Chain.
