[. . . ] Each 32-bit effect has various parameters for editing, as well as factory presets. You can also create and save as many of your own effect presets as you wish. Since the effects are implemented in hardware, they don't place any load on your host computer. This allows your valuable CPU cycles to be used for other applications or software plug-ins. There is a finite limit to how many effects you can use at the same time. As you use up the PatchMix DSP resources, certain effects will appear "grayed out" and cannot be added to the mixer. Complex effects such as reverb use more DSP resources than say a 1-Band EQ. If you continue to add effects, all of the DSP resources will eventually be used up. For more detailed information, see "DSP Resource Usage" on page 62. Saving a session "defragments" the effect/ DSP resources. If you have used all your effects and need another, try saving the session. The Effects Palette Click the FX button on the toolbar to bring up the Effects Palette. The "Core Effects" folder contains the effect algorithms themselves. The other folders contain "Effects Chains", consisting of two or more effects grouped together. You can also add, delete, or modify Effects Chains and the folders that contain them. For more information on Effects Chains, see "FX Insert Chains" on page 56.
