The FX-8 will be my first FAS product (other than my expression pedal) so, I’m seeking clarity regarding the discussion about CPU usage.
I gather that the FX-8 calculates usage as you populate a preset with blocks and that some effects (e.g., reverb) require more CPU power than others (e.g., drives). Based on the conversation here, it seems that CPU usage only applies to the particular preset being used at the time. Thus, with each new preset, you begin building that “pedalboard” with 0% usage. Correct?
If so, what about when using scenes since each scene is a copy of the original preset duplicated x-number of times, varied only by what blocks are active or inactive? FAS describes a scene as a "preset within a preset." Does the CPU treat each scene as a separate preset usage-wise or does it calculate CPU usage based on the combined number of scenes associated with a preset?
Please keep in mind that my questions arrives from reading only the manual and these forums. I have no first-hand experience so I hope these questions make sense.
