There are the Dual Insertion Effects available
on the Common level. INS1 has 25 effect
algorithms and the INS2 has 104.

Also
available
are

that can be selected:
•
Top row: knobs for Pan, Reverb, Chorus,
Tempo (when appropriate)
•
Second row: Cutoff, Resonance, Attack and

Now let's experiment a bit with the model
