Tip:
• You can patch a signal to multiple effect inputs.
• Move the cursor to an IN parameter box and press the [ENTER] button. The Patch Select
window appears. This window enables you to select the input source quickly.
4 To patch a signal output from the effects processor, move the cursor to the
desired OUT parameter box, select the signal destination from the following
options, then press [ENTER].
• – .....................................No assignment
• CH1–32 .........................Input Channels 1–32
• ST IN 1L–ST IN 4R ......ST IN Channels 1L–4R
• INS CH1–32..................Input Channel Insert In
• INS BUS1–8 ..................Bus 1–8 Insert In
• INS AUX1–8..................Aux 1–8 Insert In
• INS ST-L & INS ST-R...Stereo Bus Insert In
To use the internal effects processors via Aux Sends, select CH 1–32 or ST IN 1–4 (in most
cases). The channels you assign here will become the effects return channels.
You can patch a different channel to the other output of a 1-in/2-out or 2-in/2-out effect
program to create stereo effects.
Tip:
• If you select an ST IN Channel as the destination, you can patch the L and R channel signals
separately.
• You can also use the Patch Select window to set the OUT parameter boxes, as explained in
Step 3.
• The number of inputs available for each effect varies depending on the type of effect programs
initially recalled.
Note: You cannot select a channel as the destination of multiple effect signals. If you select a
channel that is already selected in another OUT parameter box, that OUT parameter box
switches its indicator to "–" (not assigned).
5 Adjust the level of Aux Sends patched to the effects processor.
Refer to "9 Aux Outs" on page 109 for information on setting the Aux Sends.
Note: Do not raise the level of the Aux Sends (patched to the effects processor's input) on the
effects return channels. Otherwise, the signal will return to the same channel, creating a signal
loop and possibly damaging your speakers.
Tip: Use the Master layer fader to adjust the final Aux Send output level. At this time, you
can view the level on the Meter | Master page (see page 34).
6 Adjust the level, pan, and EQ of the Input Channels patched to the effect
outputs.
Tip: To mix the effects sound returned via the Aux sends with the original dry sound, set the
effect's MIX BALANCE parameter to 100% (only the effects sound will be output).
