Auditioning Effects
Each Program and Mix uses one of the 256 Effects Patches to enhance the sound. You
select which Effect you wish to use from Program Edit or Mix Edit mode. While the
Program remembers which Effect Patch to use, and how much sound to send to it
(and to which of the four effects buses), all Effects Patch editing is done outside of the
Program in Effects Edit Mode (see Chapter 6).
In a Mix, you can combine several Programs, and use one of the Effects Patches. All
the Programs can use this one Effects Patch (or bypass it). Also, each Program in the
Mix can either retain its own effects settings (send level and bus), or you can override
and reroute them with the Mix Mode effects settings. In this section, we will audition
the various preset Effects patches from PROGRAM mode.
