ANALOG SWITCH ARRAY
MIXER 1
MIXER 2
The ES-8 uses an “analog switch array” that lets you freely change the connection order of your effect units.
It also contains two internal mixers, and lets you create a wide range of sounds by connecting effect units in parallel or using the “Carry Over”
function.
Carry Over
This function cuts only the input while leaving the output connected when you change patches. For example, you can use this to allow just the
delay sound to remain when switching patches.
Tips for Creating Patches (Sounds)
The ES-8 has two internal mixers.
Using these internal mixers is important in order to take advantage of the ES-8’s unique features, such as the ability to connect loops in parallel and
use the Carry Over function. Understanding how to use the mixers will make it even more enjoyable to create patches (sounds).
NOTE
The same mixers are used for parallel connections and for Carry Over.
This means that depending on the settings, you might not be able to use a parallel connection, or that Carry Over might not work.

If the effect units are mono, you can make parallel connections in
two places simultaneously.

If the effect units are stereo, one parallel connection uses both of
the two mixers.
Using the Carry Over function
This lets you preserve the sound (e.g., delay sound) when you switch
patches.

The send to the delay loop is cut, and only the return is mixed
with the direct sound.

* To use the Carry Over function, enable Carry Over for the patch
that follows the patch change.
* Carry Over might not work if the Loop Structure (p. 9) settings
differ before and after the patch change.
