Moving Effects
To move effects from one slot to another slot on the same bus, or from one bus to
another, proceed as follows:
1. Drag the effect by its label (FX1, FX2, FX3, FX4) and move it to a slot.
An orange rectangle indicates where the effect will be inserted.
2. Drop the effect to the slot.
The currently loaded effect is replaced.
To change the order of effects, proceed as follows:
1. Drag the effect whose position you want to change by its label (FX1, FX2, FX3,
FX4) and move it close to the border of the two effect slots where you want to
insert it.
A colored line indicates where the effect will be inserted.
2. Drop it to place the effect in between the two adjacent effect slots.
Copying Effects From One Slot to Another
To copy an effect from one slot to another, proceed as follows:
1. [Alt]/[Option]-drag the effect by its label (FX1, FX2, FX3, FX4) over the insert slot
you want to copy it to.
An orange rectangle indicates the slot where the effect will be inserted.
2. Drop it to replace the current effect with a copy of the new effect.
To copy an effect and insert it between two effect slots, proceed as follows:
1. [Alt]/[Option]-drag the effect by its label (FX1, FX2, FX3, FX4) close to the border
of the two effect slots.
An orange line indicates where the effect will be inserted.
2. Drop it to place a copy of the effect in between the two adjacent effect slots.
Changing the Output Assignments
Above the insert slots, you find menus for assigning the outputs of the AUX busses.
To change the output assignment, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Output menu of the AUX bus.
2. Select the output from the menu.
Adjusting the Levels
To adjust the output level, use the fader below the level meter:
• Move the fader of the AUX bus.
• Alternatively, enter a value in the text field below the fader.
The Master Effect Bus
The main bus works similar to the AUX busses. The only difference you will find is that
the main bus has no bus output selector since it is “hard-wired” to the main plug-in
output (1/2).
Ö
The Mix parameter of an effect inserted into the main bus is set to 50 % by default.
