2.Pressing the number two button will access the Output parameter. You can then turn the Data Wheel to set your RP21D’s output to either a Stereo or Mono signal.

Cabinet Emulation

The Cabinet Emulator in the RP21D offers you two different choices: Local and Global. The Global setting will engage the Cabinet Emulator on all Programs. Each Program can have a different Cabinet Emulator which is assigned on page two of the Master Mix parameters. The Local setting will engage the cabinet emulator on individual Programs. The thing to consider when selecting between global or local mode is whether or not you want all of your sounds affected by this change. A good time to use Global mode is when you’re frequently playing in different venus (because each room always sounds different).

The procedure for selecting either the Local or Global Cabinet emulation is as follows:

1. Press the Utility button and then press either Next or Previous Page button until you reach page 2 of the Utilities. The display reads:

Cabinet Emulator: Local
