Onboard your MultiMix 8 USB™ is a powerful effects unit that has 100 preset programs. We offer a few tips on where to use these, but don’t limit yourself to our suggestions. We recommend that you experiment with these effects to get a good feel for how they can improve your mixes.

Effects Section Components

Program Selection Knob

You can use this knob to assign one of 100 effect programs to your mix. Turning the knob to the right increments the

program number, and turning it to the left decrements the program number. You can control the level of the effect for each channel via the channel’s AUX B knob. You must PRESS the effect knob to activate the selected effect.

LED Display

This display shows you the number of the current program.

CLIP Indicator

When lit, this LED tells you that there is a signal clip at the internal effects input. This means that you should reduce the signal via the EFFECTS / AUX RET B LEVEL control.

SIG Indicator

When lit, this LED indicates that the effects processor is receiving a signal.
