FX Operation
Pressing any of the five effects buttons [1] will select that effect. Each time an effect button is
pressed it will illuminate orange to show it is in “focus”. Selecting a different effect button will
override the previous selection. Only one effect per channel can be selected.
Pressing an effect button on a different channel will move the focus to that channel and cause the
previous channels effect button to turn green; green shows the effect is selected, but that it is
not in focus.
When an effect is in focus further parameters can be adjusted using the global control encoders
next to the display screen; see Page 20 for details. Focus moves every time a CH FX ON [5],
CUE or SELECT [2] button is pressed . The display screen will also highlight which channel
effect is in focus.
Each basic effect type, DLY, VRB, RES, MOD, and DMG has a library of alternative effects within
the same category. These are accessed using the SELECT button [2]. Press the SELECT button
once to move the focus to that channel. When the channel is in focus, press the SELECT button
to open up the effect library list on the display screen. See page 19 for details.
To turn ON the selected effect, press the relevant CH FX ON switch [5]. This switch has two
modes of operation, latching and momentary. To latch the switch ON, tap once. To briefly
switch ON an effect, press and hold the button; the effect will turn off on release. This function
also works the other way, so if an effect is ON, pressing and holding the button will turn the
effect off until the button is released.

The intuitive layout of the XONE:DB4 FX section enables
easy selection of any one of the five different effect types:
(DLY) DELAY
(VRB) REVERB
(RES) RESONATOR
(MOD) MODULATOR
(DMG) DAMAGE
The WET/DRY control [4] sets the level from no effect
(DRY) when fully anticlockwise to maximum effect (WET)
when fully clockwise. The EXPRESSION [3] controls a
further parameter; for instance, regeneration when DE-
LAY is selected.
All time related effects are automatically synchronised to
the music by the BPM detection system which operates
independently for each music channel.
