3-2 Setting the insert effect

The MRS-1266 contains two types of effects: an "insert effect" that can be inserted into a specific signal route, and a "send/return effect" that can be applied to the entire song by using the send/return of the mixer.

In this example, we will apply the insert effect to the instrument connected to the INPUT jack.

1. Press the [INPUT SOURCE] key in the effectsection.

The indication "IN SRC IN" appears on the display. This screen serves for selecting the insert position of the effect. If something else is shown, turn the dial to bring up the indication "IN SRC IN".

2. Press the [EFFECT] key in the display section.

The key lights up, and you can select a patch for the internal effect. A "patch" is a set of previously saved settings for an internal effect. A newly created project contains 190 patches for the insert effect, and you can instantly change effect settings simply by selecting one of these patches.

3. Use the [ALGORITHM] keys in the effect section toselect an algorithm for the insert effect.

An "algorithm" is a combination of effect modules (individual effects) that the insert effect lets you use simultaneously. Insert effect patches are organized according to their algorithm. First select an algorithm, and then select an effect.

There are five algorithms, as follows.

DUAL

An algorithm suitable for simultaneous recording of vocals and guitar, or for two guitars or bass guitars.

GUITAR/BASS

An algorithm suitable for recording guitar or bass.

MIC

An algorithm suitable for vocals or mic recording.

LINE

An algorithm suitable mainly for recording stereo-output instruments such as synthesizer or electric piano.

MASTERING

An algorithm suitable for processing a stereo mix signal, such as during mixdown.

For this example, press the [GUITAR/BASS] key to select the GUITAR/BASS algorithm. The [GUITAR/BASS] key will light, and you can now select patches that use the GUITAR/BASS algorithm.
