Send Effects

You can send pads and Programs through up to four send effects. You must load the send effects in
Track Mixer Mode first. After that, do either or both of the following:
•
set the pad's send level in
•
set the Program's send level in
Sequence Mode.
The instructions for doing this depend on which mode you are in.
You can set the effect's return level in Track Mixer Mode.

1. In the software, click the Track Mixer tab in the Mode Tab Section.

downward arrow icon (on the left edge of the window) to show it.
3. In one of the four Return slots of the Send Effects column, click the downward
arrow ().
