Main Section

TV Screen & Selectors

The “TV screen” at the top of the main section is a multi-function display and control center for the input and output routings and effect controls. The three buttons at the top of the display select the current function of the display—Effect, Inputs or Outputs.

Effect

Select the Effect display view in the main section, then click on an Effect Insert to display the effect parameters. If an insert effect is not selected, the display will read “No Insert”.

Most effects have a wet/dry mix parameter to control the ratio of effect to plain signal. The wet/dry setting is stored with the effect preset. The parameter set varies with the type of effect. See “List of Core Effects” for detailed information about the individual effects.
