key to access
Short FX Return Parameters
The iLive ‘RackExtra’ DSP mix engine provides a virtual rack to load
up to 8 effects devices such as reverbs, delays and modulators. An
FX ‘short return’ is a stereo input channel that returns the output of
the device to the mix. In addition to the parameters available within
the FX screen, a 4-band PEQ is provided on each. These returns add
to the channel count. You get 64 full channels plus 8 short stereo
returns, the equivalent of using an 80 channel analogue console.

return or full channel. The screen also displays the send/return levels,
mutes and PAFL, and provides access to a library to recall factory
presets or store your own settings.
