Here we will explain how to use a MIX bus as an effect
send bus and a ST IN channel as an effect return channel,
so that the effect can be used in a send/return configura-
tion.
1
As described in “Mounting a GEQ or effect
in the virtual rack” (
→
p. 158) steps 1–3,
mount an effect in a rack.
A rack in which an effect is mounted will indicate the
effect type used by that effect, and the bypass on/off
status.

C OUTPUT buttons

Use the INPUT L button to open the OUT-
PUT CH SELECT popup window, and select
a MIX channel as the input source for the
rack.
The output of the MIX channel you’re using as the
effect send will be assigned to the L input of the effect.
For details on the OUTPUT CH SELECT popup win-
dow, refer to step 4 of “Mounting a GEQ or effect in
the virtual rack” (
→
p. 158).
If you’re using a stereo source, assign the L/R signals
of the stereo MIX channels to the L/R inputs of the
rack.

Use the OUTPUT L button to open the
INPUT CH SELECT popup window, and
select the L input of the desired ST IN chan-
nel as the output-destination for the rack.
The L input of the ST IN channel used as the effect
return channel will be assigned to the L output of the
effect. For details on the INPUT CH SELECT popup
window, refer to step 6 of “Mounting a GEQ or effect
in the virtual rack” (
→
p. 158).
If you’re using the output of the effect in stereo, assign
the R input of the same ST IN channel to the R output
of the rack in the same way.
4
Move the cursor to a rack in which an effect
is mounted in the GEQ/EFFECT field, and
press the [ENTER] key.
The RACK screen will appear, allowing you to edit the
parameters of the effect.
You can also access the RACK 5–8 screens by repeat-
edly pressing the [RACK 5-8] key.
1 MIX BAL. knob
This knob adjusts the balance between the original
sound and effect sound included in the output signal
from the effect.
B Input/output meters
These indicate the level of the signals before and after
the effect.
C INPUT L/R buttons
These buttons display the OUTPUT CH SELECT
popup window. The operating procedure is the same as
for the INPUT button in the GEQ/EFFECT field.
D OUTPUT L/R buttons
These buttons display the INPUT CH SELECT popup
window. The operating procedure is the same as for
the OUTPUT button in the GEQ/EFFECT field.
Using an internal effect via send/
return
• If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select “VARI”
as the bus type (
→
p. 213). This will allow you to adjust the send
level separately for each input channel.
• If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it is convenient to
assign the send-source MIX bus to stereo (
→
p. 213).
