Graphic EQ and effects
Here we will explain how to use a MIX bus as an effect
send bus and a ST IN channel as an effect return channel,
so that the effect can be used in a send/return configura-
tion.
1As described in “Mounting a GEQ or effect
in the virtual rack” (→ p. 158) steps 1–3,
mount an effect in a rack.
A rack in which an effect is mounted will indicate the
effect type used by that effect, and the bypass on/off
status.

2Use the INPUT L button to open the OUT-
PUT CH SELECT popup window, and select
a MIX channel as the input source for the
rack.
The output of the MIX channel you’re using as the
effect send will be assigned to the L input of the effect.
For details on the OUTPUT CH SELECT popup win-
dow, refer to step 4 of “Mounting a GEQ or effect in
the virtual rack” (→ p. 158).
If you’re using a stereo source, assign the L/R signals
of the stereo MIX channels to the L/R inputs of the
rack.
3Use the OUTPUT L button to open the
INPUT CH SELECT popup window, and
select the L input of the desired ST IN chan-
nel as the output-destination for the rack.
The L input of the ST IN channel used as the effect
return channel will be assigned to the L output of the
effect. For details on the INPUT CH SELECT popup
window, refer to step 6 of “Mounting a GEQ or effect
in the virtual rack” (→ p. 158).
If you’re using the output of the effect in stereo, assign
the R input of the same ST IN channel to the R output
of the rack in the same way.
4Move the cursor to a rack in which an effect
is mounted in the GEQ/EFFECT field, and
press the [ENTER] key.
The RACK screen will appear, allowing you to edit the
parameters of the effect.
You can also access the RACK 5–8 screens by repeat-
edly pressing the [RACK 5-8] key.
1MIX BAL. knob

sound and effect sound included in the output signal
from the effect.

the effect.
CINPUT L/R buttons
These buttons display the OUTPUT CH SELECT
popup window. The operating procedure is the same as
for the INPUT button in the GEQ/EFFECT field.
DOUTPUT L/R buttons
These buttons display the INPUT CH SELECT popup
window. The operating procedure is the same as for
the OUTPUT button in the GEQ/EFFECT field.
Using an internal effect via send/
return
• If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select “VARI”
as the bus type (
→
p. 213). This will allow you to adjust the send
level separately for each input channel.
•If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it is convenient to
assign the send-source MIX bus to stereo (
→
p. 213).
