Recording a loop effect	Finally, Assign both Input 1 and Effects Return
	2 to Stereo Track 9/10

This example explains how to use an effect loop while recording so the effect is recorded as a permanent part of the track.

General Strategy: Connect an effect loop in the Input Mixer, assign the input to a stereo track and assign the effect return to the same stereo track.

Details for this Example: Select Patch P024 “Long Delay” as Effect 2, record Input 1 and Effect Return 2 onto stereo Track 9/10.

Begin by Selecting the Effect:

1.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)].

2.Hold [SHIFT] and press [F3 (EFFECT A)].

3.Press [F4 (FX2)]. The Effect 2 screen appears in the display. If “FX2” does not appear above [F4], press [F6 (EXIT)] until it does. Then, press [F4 (FX2)].

4.Press [F2 (Sel)]. The effects list appears in the display.

5.Use the TIME/VALUE dial or [ ], [ ], [ ],

1.Press [FADER/MUTE] so “TR” is lit.

2.Press and hold STATUS for Track 9 or Track10.

3.Press Input 1 SELECT so it is blinking.

4.Press Input 2 SELECT so it does not blink.

5.Press Effect 2 SELECT once. Both Input 1 and Effect Return 2 are now routed to stereo Track 9/10.

Begin recording on Track 9/10 as usual. As soon as you are done recording, re-route the effect return off the track. If an effect return is assigned to a track, you won’t hear the output of the effect (unless the track happens to be in Source or Record status). To re-route the effect return back to the main stereo mix—the MIX bus—hold the STATUS button for Track 9 (or Track10) and the SELECT button for each effect assigned to the track.

and [ ] to move the cursor to Effect Preset Patch P024 “Long Delay.”

6.Press [F4 (Exec)] or press [ENTER/YES] to select the effect. The EFFECT 2 screen appears in the display.

Next, Set up the Mixer

1.Press the SELECT button for Input 1. The button indicator lights, and the Input Mixer Screen appears in the display.

2.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to “FX1.” Or, press [F2 (FX2)]. If “FX2” does not

appear above [F2], press [PAGE] a few times until you see “FX2,” and then press [F2 (FX2)].

3.Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change FX Switch to “Pst.”

4.Press [ ] and [ ] to move the cursor to the Effect Send Level, and use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the

level to “75.”

Then Pan the Input to Center

Since Input 1 is a mono source and is being recording to a stereo track, set the panning for Input 1 to “Center.”

1.Use [ ], [ ], [ ], and [ ] to move the cursor to the “Pan” section.

2.Use the TIME/VALUE dial to change the panning to “0” (center).

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