Effects Overview
Send 2 and Send 3 are also used to route sounds to the Sub 1 and 2 outputs
on the back panel. When a plug is inserted into the associated Submix jack
on the back panel, the Dry portion of the Send is disconnected from the
effects processor and the Dry signal is routed directly to the output jack.
The Arrow (->) in the display points to the actual output routing . The
Dry Send is disconnected from the Effects Processors even if only one plug is
inserted into a Submix pair.
The Effects Send is programmed for each layer in the Preset Edit menu.
These routings can be overruled in the Global menu
Mix Output screen by
changing the submix setting from “preset”, which uses the preset routing,
to Send1-Send4. In the diagram below, MIDI channel 1A is programmed to
obey the preset routing which in this case is Send 1.
Individual layers or entire MIDI channels can be routed to any of the four busses.
The four Effect Sends allow you to get the most out of the two effect
processors. For example, with Effect B set to an echo algorithm, you could
route one MIDI channel to Send 3 and set the effect amount to 80%.
Another MIDI channel could be routed to Send 4 with an effect amount of
only 5%. This is almost like having two different effects!
The Mix Output function is also useful when sequencing since it lets you
route specific MIDI channels (and thus sequencer tracks) to specific Sub
outputs (on the back panel) where there they can be processed with EQ or
other outboard effects.
