Adjusting the delay/reverb time

You can adjust the reverb time or delay time us- ing the [REVERB/DELAY TIME] control, depend- ing on the selected effect type.

Adjusting the effect send levels

To apply the effect (reverb or delay) to tracks 1 through 4, adjust the [EFFECT SEND] control for each track to adjust the level of the track signal sent to the effector.

In the example as illustrated below, tracks 1 and 2 signals are sent to the effect.

	10		10	0	10		10	EFFECT
0		0				0		SEND

As shown in the signal flowchart below, a track (playback) signal after the track fader is fed to the [EFFECT SEND] control and adjusted, then fed to the effector input. The effector's stereo output signals (wet signals) and stereo (L/R) sig- nals (dry signals) are merged together and then output from the [STEREO OUT] jacks.

As you can see in the flowchart below, the signal sent to the effector is affected by the track fader (i.e. a track fader must be raised to send track signal to the effector). The signal which passes through a fader is generally called a "post fader signal".
