Reference [Effects]
This section explains the functions and operation of the effect section built into the HD8/HD16.
The HD8/HD16 has two types of effects, an “insert effect” and
a “send/return effect”. The two types can be used
simultaneously. The characteristics of these effects are
described below.
The insert effect is used by inserting it into a specific point in
the signal route. You can select one of the following locations
at which to apply the effect.
(1) Input of input mixer
(2) Any channel of the track mixer
(3) Immediately before the [MASTER] fader
For example, if you insert the effect into the input mixer, the
input signal is processed by the effect and the result is recorded
on a track of the recorder. Alternatively, if you insert the effect
into a channel of the track mixer, the effect processes the
playback signal from an audio track or the drum/bass track.
By selecting a position immediately before the [MASTER]
fader, you can use the effect to process the final mix before
recording on the master track.
The send/return effect is internally connected to the send/
return loop of the mixer section. The HD8/HD16 has two types
of send/return effects, chorus/delay (CHORUS/DELAY) and
reverb (REVERB), which can be used simultaneously.
The send levels of the input mixer or track mixer adjust the
effect depth of the send/return effect. Raising the send level
will send the corresponding signal to the input of the effect,
and the signal processed by the effect will be returned
immediately before the [MASTER] fader, and mixed with the
original signal of the track.
