This section explains how to use effects in 4-

About effect input/output

In 4-track mode, effects are used with mono
input/stereo output. The signal flow differs,
depending on whether one or two input sources
are connected and on whether one or two tracks
are used as recording targets.

Selecting a patch

In 4-track mode, effect types and effect
parameters are adjusted for each module and the
result can be stored as a patch. The H4 has a total
capacity for 60 patches, and 50 of these are
already preprogrammed at the factory. This
section describes how to select a stored patch.
