from the Setup section on the console.

Assign an Input Source to the Plug-in

•   Click the plug-in’s INPUT menu button to select an input

source. In the example below, we have chosen the 

Aux 5

Bus as the input to the plug-in installed in slot 5.

When a plug-in is fed from
an aux bus, its output
appears on the FX Return
channels (faders in the
EFFECTS bank). The return
channel is determined by
the slot number and
whether the effect output is
mono or stereo. For
example, a reverb with a
mono input and stereo
output that is installed in
Slot 5 has its outputs on FX
5 and FX 6. 

Note:

 The

default state for all FX
channels is MUTE. You
won’t hear the effect until
you unmute its FX return
channel(s).

A plug-in can also receive its input from a channel pre- or post-
DSP insert or the main stereo left and right bus. When a plug-in
is inserted “in line” in this manner, its output is routed directly
back into the channel. See FX Routing on page 17 for more
details.
