Adding width to the sound (Loop Effect)

The BR-864 features chorus, delay, and doubling (any one of these three can be selected at any one time) as loop effects, and includes reverb as well. Effective use of these allows you to add greater breadth to the sound.

What is a loop effect?

Effects connected to the send and return of mixer effects are called “loop effects.” You can adjust the depth of the effect by changing the send level of each mixer channel (equivalent to the tracks of the BR-864).

Since the send levels for each track are separate, you can change the depth individually. This allows you to, for example, have a deep reverb on the vocals and slight reverb on the drums, or any such combination.

Opposed to insert effects (p. 33), which are applied to specific sounds, loop effects are applied to the complete track.

*You cannot use chorus, delay, and doubling simultaneously. Any one may be selected while loop effects are in use.
