Using the insert effect

This section explains how to select the insert point for the
insert effect, how to select a patch, and how to edit the patch.

About insert effect patches

The insert effect is a multi-effect unit that contains a number
of single effects such as compressor, distortion, and delay,
connected in series. Each of these separate effects is called
an "effect module".
For the insert effect, you can use up to six effect modules
simultaneously. A combination of such effect modules is
called an "algorithm".
The MRS-802 incorporates the following algorithms.
• CLEAN
• DIST
• ACO/BASS SIM
• BASS
These algorithms are for recording guitar/bass.
• MIC
An algorithm for vocals or microphone recording.
• Dual MIC
An algorithm for two entirely separate mono input and
mono output channels.
• LINE
An algorithm mainly for recording line-level output
instruments such as synthesizer or electric piano.

• MASTERING
An algorithm for processing a stereo mix signal, such as
during mixdown.
The arrangement of the effect modules and the signal flow
for each algorithm is shown in the diagram below.

There are three types of algorithms: mono input/stereo
output, stereo input/stereo output, and mono input x 2/mono
output x 2. This difference will affect the signal flow when the
insert effect is inserted. For details, refer to p. 102.
Each effect module comprises various parameters that
adjust the effect type and the effect depth. Settings for the
parameters of each effect module and an overall volume
setting (patch level) are collectively referred to as a "patch".

A newly created project contains 190 patches, and these
patches are organized according to the eight algorithms. You
can instantly switch insert effect settings simply by selecting
the appropriate algorithm, and then selecting a patch.

numbers for each type.
