9 - Using Built-In Effects

This chapter explains the dynamic effects, guitar effects,
and send effects that can be applied to individual mic and
guitar inputs.
You can select one of the four types of dynamic effects
(COMPRESSOR, NOISE SUPPRESSOR, DE-ESSER, EXCITER)
to apply to all inputs (INPUT A to H).
For details about the editing parameters for each type of
effect, see "18 - Appendix" (page 102).
The library data can also be used for other songs.
Even when the parameters are not stored in the library
data, the effect assignments and parameters are always
stored as part of a song.

and apply it to all inputs (INPUT A to H) (though the
simultaneous application has some limitations).
You cannot use multiple types of effects simultaneously.
CAUTION

CAUTION
Guitar effects can be also inserted into stereo tracks. When
inserting into a stereo track, though the stereo effect can
be achieved depending on the effect used, since the input
is monaural and the output is monaural/stereo, observe
the following precautions.
Since the effect input is monaural, when it is inserted
•
into a stereo track, the odd numbered track input
becomes active. Therefore, if you want to achieve the
stereo effect when recording a stereo track inserted
with an effect, set the input assignment to monaural.
