Saving multi-effect settings

You can save an edited setting as a user setting in the library.

1When the MULTI EFFECT screen is visible, press the YES/ENTER key to open the MULTI EFFECT

LIBRARY screen.

2Use the Ó/Á cursor keys to select SAVE.

3Use the JOG/DATA dial (or the §/cursor keys) to select a setting slot to store the new setting.

4Rename the setting if you want (see “Titling” on page 15).

NOTE

The right column of the list shows the basic effect types (DIST-FLG, etc.) used in each setting so they will always be clear regardless of the setting names.

5Press the YES/ENTER key to save the setting and return to the MULTI EFFECT screen.

NOTE

This overwrites any existing setting in that slot.

Press the NO/EXIT key to return to the MULTI EFFECT screen without saving.

Single effect

The single effect provides you with a quality effect in the internal effect loop. This is most useful in the mixdown and mastering stages, but it can be used at any time.

Input channel and track channel signals can be sent to the single effect. Channel signal send levels and pre/post selection are set on the EFFECT SEND screen (see “Effect send” on page 32).

The return from this effect is sent to the stereo bus, or to the bounce sub mix (“Making a bounce mix” on page 58).

Press the SINGLE EFFECT key. It lights, and the screen changes to the SINGLE EFFECT screen:

Press the YES/ENTER key to enter the library screen to recall a preset effect or a user effect or to save the current parameters.

Use the Ó/Á cursor keys to select the PRESET choices, the USER settings, or to SAVE the current parameters.

Scroll up and down through the list that appears, and press YES/ENTER to confirm your choice.
