Effects/Plug-ins

MFX/UFX

Before we look at more setup examples, lets cover some quick tips on efficient use of the Digital 8•Bus plug- ins. Follow these easy steps to use the Digital 8•Bus internal plug-ins.

Note: These steps assume that the default input and output selections are made for the plug-ins (Input = corresponding Aux Send; Output = corresponding FX Return). Alterate Input sources and Destinations can be selected if desired.

1.Open the Plugin Configuration window (click Plugins in the upper menu bar and select Plugins, or Crtl+P) and select the Input Source, Mode (Stereo/ Mono), Plugin, and Destination that suits your needs for each available slot.

2.Click the red 1/4" connector on the lower menu bar to reveal the plug-in selector buttons.

3.Select the plug-in you want to adjust by clicking on its button.

4.Plug-ins are organized in the order of the aux buses they correspond to.

Note: In the plug-in windows, clicking directly on the Effects patch name displays a large pop-up menu of Factory or User patch names, which points to available patches in your working directory’s Presets folder. Always save your custom presets to the User Presets folder. Presets saved to the Factory Presets folder could be written over by future plug-in updates. It is still possible to use the up/down arrows to scroll through the patch names.

5.Click on the AUX button in the V-Pot Select Section that corresponds to the plug-in you want to use.

6.Use the channel V-Pots to set individual channel send to the selected aux bus.
