Programs
You can load up to four insert effects to each program. You can do this in Main Mode, XYFX Mode, and the Channel
Mixer.
Note: In XYFX Mode, the effects act like a single insert effect on that program. In fact, XYFX is the name of the insert
effect that is loaded when use this mode.
To load a program insert effect in Main Mode:
1. When the MIDI tab is selected (in the lower-left corner),
use the Track field to select the track that uses the
program with the desired pad—the program it uses will
be selected automatically.
2. If the channel strip is not already shown, tap the small
eye icon below the Project field to show it.
3. Tap the four-pads icon at the top of the channel strip.
The channel strip will now show settings for the current
program.
4. Tap the area under Inserts, and then use the screen that
appears to load or edit effects.
To load XYFX for a program in XYFX Mode:
1. Select the desired program in another mode, and then
enter XYFX Mode.
2. If you have not yet used XYFX Mode for this program,
tap Insert XYFX on the touchscreen to load it and show
the XY pad.
Note: If you already have four insert effects loaded, you
will need to clear one of the insert effect slots before
doing this.
If you have already used XYFX Mode for this program,
the XY pad will appear.
3. If the Setup panel is not shown, tap Setup in the lower-
right corner to show it.
4. Use the Preset field to load an effect. Use the controls
below the Preset field to edit the effect.
To load a program insert effect in the Channel Mixer:
1. Set the Mixer field in the upper-left corner to Programs.
2. In the touchscreen, tap the pad that corresponds to the
desired program. Alternatively, double-tap the Program
field below the Mixer field and tap the desired program.
3. Tap the area under Inserts, and then use the screen that
appears to load or edit effects. Alternatively, tap the
Insert tab at the bottom of the touchscreen (tap it
multiple times to select a different insert slot), and then
double-tap the desired pad in the touchscreen. You
could also use the data dial or –/+ buttons to select an
effect immediately.
