Effects; Overview - Akai FORCE User Manual

Effects

You can apply various effects to the pads, keygroups, tracks and master outputs, using insert and send/return effects.
This chapter can help you get a good overall understanding of how the effects work.
See Appendix > Effects & Parameters
editable parameters.

Overview

In a track, each pad or keygroup can have up to four insert effects applied to it. See
Keygroups to learn more about this.
An entire track can also have up to four insert effects applied to it, as well. See
about this.
Additionally, each pad, keygroup, and track can each be sent to (up to) four return channels, each of which can have
up to four insert effects of their own. Their audio will be routed through the insert effects on those returns, and the
processed audio will be sent to a master output. See
Finally, you can apply up to four insert effects to each master output (a stereo pair of channels: Outputs 1/2 or
Outputs 3/4). See Insert Effects > Masters
There are three other modes that handle effects differently:
•
The Sampler can use up to four insert effects, which are applied to the audio as you record it. This means that
the effects cannot be "removed" from the sound later. Learn more about the Sampler in the
chapter.
•
Similarly, the Looper can use up to four insert effects, which are applied to the audio as you record it. This
means that the effects cannot be "removed" from the sound later. Learn more about the Looper in the
Looper chapter.
•
In XYFX Mode, the effects act like a single insert effect on that track. In fact, XYFX is the name of the insert
effect you have to load to the track before you can use this mode. Learn more about XYFX Mode in the
> XYFX Mode chapter.
