SIXTY-ONE
FlexFx
The FlexFx Bus in the Sixty-One works differently than a typical effects insert loop. This architecture is
very flexible and opens up many new possibilities not possible with simple effect insert designs found on
other mixers.
The FlexFx Bus is more like an auxiliary bus that can have multiple signals assigned to it. Signals
assigned to the bus may then have external analog effects and external USB effects applied in any
combination. The order of processing in the FlexFx Bus is shown in the graphic below.

FLEXFX
buttons for
DECK 1
,
DECK 2
,
MIC
and
AUX
assign signals to the FlexFx Bus (
BRIGHT BLUE
) or
the Main Mix (
dim blue
). This allows assigning multiple inputs to the FlexFx Bus and/or changing the
assignment without interrupting audio.
2
.
ANALOG INSERT
is turned on/off with a separate button. The external analog insert can be used with the
INSERT
or independently.
NOTE: If no external connection is made to the
FLEXFX LOOP RETURN
jack,
the signal will be interrupted when the
ANALOG INSERT
button is turned on
.
3
. The
INSERT
is turned on/off with a separate button, used with the
ANALOG INSERT
or independently.
The
INSERT
uses USB record pair 9-10 for the Send, and USB playback pair 7-8 for the Return.
Using the
INSERT
generally requires a low latency setting. Adjust latency in the "Rane Drivers" on
page 17.
NOTE: Assign a Deck channel or signal to
FLEXFX
before engaging the
INSERT
button to
avoid audible artifacts
.
4
. The FlexFX
CUE
is after the analog external insert, USB insert and before the
WET / DRY
control. This
allows cueing a Wet signal while listening to the Dry signal before fading up to Wet.
