The insert section provides selection and control of the insert point (INSERT
ON/OFF) and the INSERT MIX function (ON/OFF), plus defining the dry/
wet mix ratio (INSERT MIX %).
is selected with the INSERT hardware key above the Vistonics section. 'On'
activates the insert return signal; 'off' selects the Input Signal (that corre-
sponds to the insert send signal).
On activates the insert mix function; Off selects only the insert return signal.
When the insert mix function is set to On, the ratio of the dry (send) to the
wet (return) signal depends on the selected mix ratio. In other words, mixing
between the insert send and the insert return signals is possible.
If the MIX function is On, this parameter allows mixing or blending of the
dry (send) and the wet (return) signals. 0% setting: dry signal only; 100%
setting: wet signal only.

note If the insert is routed to an external, non-digital device (such as an analog
compressor patched through D/A and A/D converters), the delay introduced
by the D/A-A/D conversion will result in a comb-filter effect if the insert return
and mix are active and the MIX % is set anywhere between DRY and WET.
When inserting external, analog devices, the MIX% should always be set to
WET (i.e., to 100%), unless this comb-filter effect is desired - or the delay is
compensated by adding delay on other signal paths. The latter is made very
easy by using a gang and adding delay to multiple console channels.
