The Nano Cortex is barely out, and I think the way to edit fx settings on the unit is really dumb and cumbersome.

I propose a much simpler way:

**Fx button toggles between “Amp layer” and “Fx layer”.**

In fx layer, the knobs on the unit change to represent the single parameter for each effect, and its current amount.

It could be:

1. Gain: Noise gate threshold
2. Bass: Transpose semitones
3. Mid: Modulation depth
4. Treble: Delay mix
5. Amount: Reverb mix
6. Level: remains the same.

It could show the previous (from last Fx button press) or saved preset value as a single LED lit on the knob so you can get back to the previous setting easily.

Toggling fx on/off could be done by turning knobs to zero or pressing the buttons while in fx layer:

- Exit: Transpose on/off
- Capture: Modulation on/off
- Save: Delay on/off

Reverb and gate have to be toggled turning the knob down since there’s not enough buttons.

Benefits:

- Overview of all fx amounts with one glance.
- Editing all fx amounts at once.
- Saves you tons of clicks to cycle effects.
- Easy to toggle any effect: turn its knob to zero (or the button approach).
