Connecting Loop Effects

The following section explains in detail the steps to connect loop effects, and provides examples for each method.

1.Select the channel to which the effect is to be added. Press the SELECT button for either an input channel or a track channel. The button indicator lights, and the Mixer Screen appears in the display.

2.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “FX1,” or press [F1 (FX1)]. If “FX1” does not

appear above [F1], press [PAGE] a few times until you see “FX1”, and then press [F1 (FX1)].

Sw (Effect Send Switch)

This selects how the signal is sent to the EFFECT bus.

Off:

Signal is not sent to the EFFECT bus.

Pre:

(Pre-fader). The signal is sent based on its level before the mixer fader.

Pst:

(Post-fader). The signal is sent based on its level after the mixer fader.

Send Level

This adjusts the volume level of the signal (0-127) sent to the EFFECT bus. The default setting is 100.

Send Pan

This adjusts the stereo placement of the signal (L63-R63) sent to the EFFECT bus. “L63” is hard left and R63 is hard right. The default value is “0” (center). This is useful for isolating channels to the left or right side of a stereo effect so they can be processed independently.

4.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display.

5.Connect FX2-FX4 using the same method.

Effects Return Section

2.Press [F3 (FX1)], or use [ ], [ ], [ ], and

[ ] to move the cursor to “FX1Rtn.”
