This section explains how to select the position for the insert
effect, how to select a patch, and how to edit the patch.
The insert effect is a multi-effect unit that contains a number of
single effects such as compressor, distortion, and delay,
connected in series. Each of these separate effects is called an
“effect module”.
A combination of effect modules that can be used
simultaneously is called an “algorithm”.
The HD8/HD16 offers the following algorithms.

●CLEAN

●DISTORTION

●ACO/BASS SIM

●BASS

An algorithm suitable for recording guitar/bass.

●MIC

An algorithm suitable for microphone recording of vocals
etc.

●DUAL MIC

An algorithm with two entirely separate channels for mono
input x 2 and mono output x 2.

●LINE

An algorithm suitable for recording line-level output
instruments such as synthesizer or electric piano.

●<< only>> 8x COMP EQ

This is an algorithm with eight separate inputs/output
channels, available only in the HD16. Separate high-pass
filter (HPF), compressor, and EQ settings are possible for
each channel.

●MASTERING

An algorithm suitable for processing the final stereo mix
signal.
The arrangement of effect modules and the signal flow for each
algorithm is shown in the diagram below.
HINT
• Depending on the selected algorithm, the input/output
configuration of the effect will differ. For some insert position
settings, two input signals or the stereo output of an effect may
be mixed to mono (→ p. 130).
•<< only>> With the 8x COMP EQ algorithm, the VOLUME
PEDAL module is shared by all eight channels.
Each effect module comprises two aspects, namely the effect
type and the effect parameters. Effect type and parameter
settings for an effect module are collectively referred to as a
“patch”.
A project contains 310 << 330>> patches, which are
organized according to 8 << 9>> algorithms. You can
