FX slots

FX selector

Each synth channel features 3 insert FX slots.
4 FuseMod slots are available for each FX slot, allowing any FuseMod sources to modulate FX parameters.
Hovering the mouse over any unused slot displays the FX selector – click on the desired FX device to load it into the slot.
You can also use each slot’s device picker.
Once loaded, the FX slot’s preset picker becomes available.
See section 8:7 for an overview of the available FX devices.

8:6 Aux FX and Master FX pages

The aux FX and master FX pages are identical in appearance to the synth channel FX pages (see above).

Aux FX page

Fusor features 3 aux FX slots, to which audio can be sent from any of the 3 synth channels.
Sends to the aux FX are configured either from the Global page or in the Status display area, while their return levels are
controlled on the Global page.

Master FX page

Fusor’s master output features 3 insert FX slots. These operate on the Main output busonly, which comprises audio sent
to the Main destination from synth channels (make sure their Main output routing is not set to ‘OFF’) and from the aux
returns.
The master insert FX do not affect the synth channels’ individual Direct outputs.
