Using the loop effects
What is a loop effect?
The method of sending a signal from a mixer to an effect (the “send”), and then
returning the output of the effect back to the mixer (the “return”) is called “loop
effect.” When a loop effect is used, its output is generally mixed with the original
sound.
The mixer section of the CDX-1 provides chorus/delay/doubling and reverb as loop
effects. By using these you can add spaciousness to the sound.
Since the send level is independent for each audio track, you can vary the effect
depth for each track. For example, you might apply deep reverb to the vocal and
light reverb to the drums.
