send master level.

Selecting pre/post of Effect sends

You can select whether the pre-fader or post-fader sig-
nal is sent from each channel (1 to 16) to the effect
processor.
If you select "Post", the signal adjusted by the channel
fader is sent to the effect processor is also lowered.
If you select "Pre", the signal that is not affected by the
channel fader is sent to the effect processor, so even
if you lower the channel fader to minimum, the sig-
nal can be sent to the effect processor.
