An FX Unit Patch consists of the complete customized parameter settings of a specific FX Unit, which allows for “total recall” of that one effect. It’s useful to build a library of FX Unit Patches that you like, allowing you to use Patches that were created for one purpose in a different context.

FX Unit Patches are organized so that you’ll only see the Patches that pertain to the FX Unit you’re working with.

In the picture below, the EZ Verb displays its own Patch list.

Patches are saved in the SAGE/Stylus RMX/Patches/Effects directory.

You can create as many sub-directories for Patches as you like, as long as the folders are nested in the directory for that unit on your drive. FX Patches have the extension .fxp_rmx

SAVING FX UNIT PATCHES

Saving an FX Patch lets you give a Patch a custom name and recall it later. It’s a convenient way to build a custom FX library.

To Save a Patch:

• Control / Right-click anywhere on an FX Unit’s interface and a drop-down menu will appear.

• Select SAVE EFFECT PATCH.

• A Save dialog box will appear allowing you to name the FX Patch. The Save dialog box defaults to the directory for that particular FX Unit.

NOTE: There is no Delete Patch command. To remove a Patch from a Patch list, you must navigate to the Patch via your computer’s directory structure and remove the Patch file manually.

LOADING FX UNIT PATCHES

Loading FX Patches from a Patch List is an easy way to use your favorite settings over and over again. Also, it allows you to experiment with different settings and to check out the Factory Library.

To Load an FX Patch:

• Open an FX Unit in a slot.

• Control / Right-click anywhere on an FX Unit’s interface and a drop-down menu will appear.

• Select a Patch name to load the Patch.

COPYING AND PASTING FX UNIT PATCHES

Copying an FX Unit, along with its current settings and Pasting it into another slot is a quick and useful way of reorganizing the order and placement of FX Units. It’s not required to Save a Patch in order to use it in some other FX Slot. You can simply Copy the FX Unit with its current settings and Paste it into any other FX Slot to change the order of effects. You can also Paste over an existing FX Unit.

To Copy and Paste an Effect Patch:

• Control / Right-click anywhere on an FX Unit’s interface and a drop-down menu will appear.

• Select COPY EFFECT PATCH.

• Choose any other FX Slot.

• Control / Right-click again and select PASTE EFFECT PATCH.

This FX Slot now has the same FX Unit and settings as the one that was copied.
