Chapter 4 Using the Internal Effects

About Effect Levels

Many algorithms include parameters for effect level, which adjusts the output level of the effect sound, and direct level, which adjusts the output level of the direct sound. When these parameters are preceded by a minus sign, the phase is invert- ed.

The direct level of the Preset Patches, which were created with careful consideration given to the connection to the EFFECT bus, is set to “0.” When inserting an effect into a channel, raise the direct level. To determine the type for each Preset Patch, please refer to “Preset Patch List” (Appendices p. 19).

When Saving to User Patches
