Echo/delay on Dim LE patches - how to turn off?

This has me beat..just about all of the 'lead', 'pad' and 'Dimensions' patches within Dimension LE have a digital echo/delay effect on them, and I cannot see how to turn off/adjust that effect. If I click on 'fx' within the GUI it gives me 'chorus', 'symphonic' and 'phaser', but no 'delay'

I've searched the help files for Dim LE, but just can't seem to track down that one item.

With the echo effect on, these patches are pretty much unusable, any help would be appreciated.

    You can't turn off the effects using Dimension LE alone.  The presets were programmed using the full version of Dimension Pro, and that version has an Insert FX slot available to each Element.  So, when the presets are 'ported' over to Dimension LE, the effects are reproduced as written into the .prog file, but there's no method to adjust them on Dimension LE's interface.
     
    If you know someone with Sonar8 or Dimension Pro, he or she can turn off the effects for those particular presets, then save them as .prog files.  The modified presets will play back just fine in Dimension LE, but without the undesired effects added.

    Ah, OK thanks.

    Seems a strange thing to do (adding the delay to the patches)..unless the delay time happens to coincide with the BPM to the track (unlikely), it pretty much renders the patch unusable.

    For me, the inclusion of Dim Pro alone made the Sonar 8 update worthwhile. I agree that many of the patches require tweaking in order to properly sit in the mix, and you need pro for that.
