Just glanced at the manual but couldn't find this: Does anyone know if the Nautilus makes you do the ritual of "Copy Effects from Program" each time you build a layer/split or combi?

this is one of those arcane steps that we just shouldn't have to do in 2021!

thanks in advance....

If effects were automatically copied from each Program in a Combi, the Nautilus would soon run out of the processing capacity required to provide all of the combined effects. The Nautilus is limited to providing 12 insert effects, two master effects, and two total effects. Therefore the need to "Copy Effects From Program" is still there, and the user/programmer needs to consider the effects that need to be used to get the best sound, given the above "Effects budget". The only way round this, and still be able to have each Program in a Combi use its original effects, would be to have a bank of Nautili, triggered by MIDI from a master keyboard, which could be one of those Nautili, with each instrument running in Program mode, individually set to the desired Program, or possibly using a range of Combis having two or three Programs, where each Combi is designed not to exceed the Effects budget for the individual Nautilus.

that's very helpful.
I get the why of it but sure wish it was easier....otherwise the Nautilus looks great.
thank you.....

I found that w/ Krome too.

but often I would forget about the need for that step and only discover my error after building a few tracks (!). I use the Program mode to survey sounds and really like being able to know what the sound w/ factory effect is all about.

say whatever about Yamaha but that's a nice thing on Montage/MODX

I find the FX structure of the Montage/MODX to be frustrating. You are allowed a max of two insert FXs per part. If you're dealing with a more complex instrument that spans multiple parts but you want them to share common insert FXs, you must recreate those FXs for each part which is a complete waste and can also be challenging to properly sync. At the common level, you are allowed two send/receive FXs and a single insert (with limited options). Send/receive isn't suitable for some FXs. The ability of the Korg to string up to 12 insert FXs per program is a god-send to sound design.

I do appreciate the elimination of distinct programs/performances in the new Yamahas. This is something Kurzweil has done since the beginning.

something I hadn't considered -- the voices that use multiple slots in MODX would need to have the insert effects lined up somehow.

and agreed, the Korg method is much better for creating and developing a new sound.

thanks Burningbusch....
