Whole Description of Fx effects:

At the moment, if no effect is active, Filter Knob will act as Filter, independently for each Deck. If at least one effect is active, Filter Knob will act as global (for all 3) effect Knob (Super Knob). In Mode FxDeck, Filter Fx N will only toggle the Fx effect on the relative deck. Even if there are Fx Effects active, Filter Knobs of other decks will only act as Filters.
