Insert Effects

Pads

You can load up to four insert effects to each pad. You can do this in Main Mode, the Pad Mixer, or Program Edit Mode.
Tip: When using pad insert effects, they will be applied to the selected pad only. This means that you could apply
unique combinations of effects to each pad within a program. If you want to apply the same effect to all pads, do this
with a program insert effect (see Insert Effects > Programs).
To load a pad 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 single-pad icon at the top of the channel strip. The channel strip will now show settings for the current pad.
4. Press the desired pad to select it. Alternatively, use the Pad field at the top of the channel strip.
5. Tap the area under Inserts, and then use the screen that appears to load or edit effects.
