The FX processors
Pa1000 includes both insert and master effects ('effect' is often abbreviated
as FX).
▪
Insert effects (IFX) are assigned to a single Sound, and process the whole
signal passing through. The most common insert effects are amp simula-
tors, chorus or flanger, overdrive and distortion pedals, compressors, etc.
Insert effects are pre-fader, so the volume level of the mixer channel will not
change the level of the signal entering the effect.
▪
Master effects (MFX) are effects shared by several different Sounds, that
can be mixed in at different levels. The most common master effects are
delays and reverbs. Master effects are post-fader, so the volume level of the
mixer channel will change the level of the signal entering the effect.
Each group of Sounds/channels can go to a different group and number of
effects.
