Snd (Insert Send Level)

This adjusts the level of signal (-42 dB to +6 dB) sent to the effect. The default setting is 0 dB.

Rtn (Insert Return Level)

This adjusts the level of signal (-42 dB to +6 dB) returned from the effect. The default setting is 0 dB.

6.Press [PLAY(DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display. Use the above steps to insert FX2-FX 4.

*When Ins or InsS is selected, that effect cannot be used on any other channel. When InsL or InsR is selected, that effect can be inserted only on one other mixer channel. If the effect is already being used as an insert effect, the display shows you the channel on which the effect is inserted, as shown in the following illustration.

When FX1 is used in Track 6

The way you insert an effect can help you utilize the VS8F-2 effect processors to their fullest potential. For example, the InsL and InsR options allow you to insert separate compressors (using the Stereo Compressor patch) into two channels using only one effects processor. Using all four effects processors will allow you to insert eight separate compressors into eight individual channels at the same time. The InsS option will allow you to turn the stereo four-band parametric EQ patch into a mono eight-band parametric EQ by inserting a single channel into one side of the stereo EQ and then routing the signal through the other side of the stereo EQ patch.
