MENU - ROUTING

The following manual section covers the parameters accessed via the MENU key.

Routings

Basics

Semi Parallel

The Semi Parallel routing connects most effect blocks serially, but the reverb and delay blocks are now connected in parallel. Consequently, the delay and reverb effects do not affect each other. This means that no reverb is added to the delay repeats.

G-Natural has three ways of routing the chain of effects: Serial, Semi parallel and Parallel. Looking at the illustrations below you should notice the separate compression and EQ lines for the instrument and mic-pre input sections.

Serial

The Serial routing connects all effect blocks “in a straight line”. This means that each effect block affects the following effect(s).

If a delay with a long delay time is used in combination with a reverb, you may find the added reverb on the delay repeats disturbing.

In that case, use either the Semi Parallel or Parallel routing.

Parallel

In the Parallel routing, the same signal is fed to the input of the modulation, delay and reverb sections, and therefore these effects will not affect each other.

MOD

If the Mic-Pre parameter in the Levels menu is set to “Vocal” and Semi Parallel or Parallel routing

mode is used, then neither Boost, Mod, Reverb or Delay effects are available on the Mic or Line inputs.

With the Mic-Pre parameter set to “Vocal” and Serial mode is used, Reverb can be applied on both the Instrument and the Mic-Pre/Line inputs.
