Adding a Prog to a Combi and keeping FX

Post by keeverw »

Is there any quick and easy way to create a Combi from a Program, keeping all the FX in the program in tact?

It's very easy creating a combi from a program. Go to an initialized combi and select the Copy from Program menu command. Select all of the check boxes for the FX and click OK.

The easy part ends after the first program has been added. Adding additional programs requires more work. For the second program you would still use the Copy from Program command but do not select any FX check boxes or you will overwrite the ones from the first program.

To get the FX from the second program you could go to the IFX Setup page in the combi and then use the Copy Insert Effect menu command to copy each IFX.

And you will quickly run out of IFX slots so you will have to be creative and start re-routing and substituting with FX in the available slots.

Thanks for the reply.

That is actually really helpful for me!

In a lot of instances, it would be nice to have even a single program in combi form, just so all my sounds are in the same preset group.

A setlist like the Kronos has would be so nice, where you could have programs and combis in the same setlist. oh well.
