SIXTY-TWO
FlexFX Loop
The FlexFX Bus in the Sixty-Two works differently than a typical effects insert loop. This architecture
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 internal effects, 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

MIC
and

assign signals to the FlexFX Bus (

) or
the Main Mix (
dim blue
). This allows assigning multiple inputs to the FlexFX Bus and/or changing the
assignment without interrupting audio.
2
. The six effect buttons both turn on and sync an internal effect. By keeping this separate from the
effects
ON
button, it is possible to turn on, sync and cue effects before you hear the wet signal in the
Main Mix. Only one internal effect is selected at a time. Having six independent buttons, it is possible to
drum in different effects without interruption.
3
.
EXT. INSERT
is turned on/off with a separate button. The external analog insert can be used with internal
effects and the
INSERT
or independently.
NOTE: If no external connection is made to the
FLEXFX
LOOP RETURN
jack, the signal will be interrupted when the
EXT. INSERT
button is turned on
.
4
. The
INSERT
is turned on/off with a separate button, and can be used with internal effects, the
EXT.
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 driver control panel setting.
NOTE: Assign a Deck channel or signal to
FLEXFX
before engaging the
INSERT
button to avoid
audible artifacts
.
5
. The FlexFX
CUE
is after the internal effects insert, analog external insert, USB insert and before the
effects
ON
function. This allows cueing a Wet signal while listening to the Dry signal before turning the
effect
ON
.
6
. When effect
ON
is not engaged, internal effects insert, analog external insert and USB insert points are
bypassed, and any signal assigned to the FlexFX Loop is simply summed into the Main Mix. This allows
you to
CUE
the wet signal before the wet signal is heard in the Main Mix.
