The boxes in a chain will change appearance when bypassed. To see what happens, go first to
the FXBUS page:
1. Press the FXBUS soft button from any Studio page.
2. Use one of the four cursor buttons to move the cursor on the FXBUS page to the Type parameter.
Set the Type parameter to “Chain” by turning the alpha wheel or pressing the + or – (increment\/
decrement) buttons.
3. Move the cursor to the object name field (to the right of the Type parameter field). Press 3, 7,
enter on the alphanumeric pad to select chain 37 “Flanging Verb”. The screen below shows that
nothing on this bus is being bypassed. Note the thick box around box 1 indicating that this box
is the currently selected box in the chain assigned to this bus.
4. Now double-click the bypass button to bypass this bus (i.e., this whole chain).
As you can see below, the chain name is still selected, but the appearance of the chain boxes
now shows that the current bus (i.e., the whole chain) is bypassed. The boxes around the
presets on the chain are no longer displayed, with the exception of a thin box around the phaser
effect, showing that this was the most recently selected box. Also, the bypass button on the
front panel of the KSP8 will blink as long as the bus is bypassed.
5. Double-click the bypass button again to re-enable the bus.
6. Press the up cursor button to move the cursor to the first box on the chain, as shown below. As
before, nothing is bypassed. The only difference is that the cursor is on box 1, not the chain
field, so the effect label is highlighted, making a filled-in box.
7. Double-click the bypass button to bypass this box. The selection box will remain on box 1, as
shown below, and the effect label will remain in reverse video, making a ring around the miss-ing
effect box. The display is telling you that the first box is bypassed, while the other boxes are
still active.
8. Press the down cursor button. The chain name is now selected, but box 1 is still bypassed, so its
selection box is still shown as a thin line:
9. At this point, you can double press the bypass button to return to business as usual. Or, just to
be sure you’re back where you started, press the bypass button once, then press the EnableAll
soft button.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[24498],"manufacturers":[33482],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n
