As a Motif ES user I'm used to sequencing with the first 8 channels allowing for the sounds assigned to use their insert effects. If I understand the Kronos layout correctly there are 12 insert FX that are shared among all the sounds being used in a multi (for sequencing purposes).
For example, if I assign the first 3 channels with sounds copying their insert fx also, and between the 3 sounds all of the 12 insert fx slots are taken up, then any sound after that would have to use the fx that are now there since I've maxed out the insert slots (or just use the L/R master fx).
Am I understanding this correctly and have I explained it clearly? Thanks.
Thanks also for everyone who help me sort out my software upgrade problem.
Sequencing with FX

If I have properly understood you can reuse all the IFX with all the tracks you want.
For example, if you have a piano on track 1 that uses a chorus, than if you want you can route all the tracks you want on the IFX chorus that you use for the piano, you don't need to create several IFX all with the same effects.
In other words, you have 12 IFX to share with your track but each IFX can be re-used.

You're both correct.
When you're making a combi it's not usually much of an issue but when you're sequencing many tracks you really have to consider how to use your fx. You don't always need all the fx from the program. There's often an EQ on there that can be compensated for with the track EQ (of which you get 32 in sequence mode!). Or there may be a chorus that you could put on an MFX slot instead so it's more easily shared amongst timbres.
If you find you're running out of slots you should also really consider the chain, because you can route any timbre to any part of any chain. For instance, if you chain an overdrive and a chorus together and you put the overdrive first, you can route other timbres that just need a bit of chorus to the chorus, skipping the overdrive slot. There are of course limits to this approach too but a little clever routing will get you much more fx power than you had on the Yamaha.
Copy from program is useful for when you need a specific program to sound exactly as it does in program mode and you have the slots to spare. It's not really all that handy setting up 16 (or 32) tracks. Remember, you can still copy individual fx settings from any program or combi to your sequence from the ifx window.
