Rane MP26 Operator's Manual page 5

The order of processing in the MP26's FlexFx architecture is:
1 I ndependent FlexFx assign for PGM 1-4 and Mic 1-2, or as-
sign all sources simultaneously with the Main FlexFX button.
2 I nternal Digital Effects.
3 E xternal Analog Insert, with Send and Return Levels.
4 USB Insert.
5 F lexFX Loop return Cue and Meter.
6 F lexFx On (FlexFX Loop Bypass).
7 F lexFx Mix Level control.
1 The buttons in the PGM and MIC strips assign the
FlexFx
post-fader audio to the FlexFx Bus when on, and to the Main
Mix when off. This allows multiple inputs to the FlexFx Bus,
and allows drumming different signals into and out of an ap-
plied effect.
The FlexFX button in the Main Mix section assigns all PGM
and Mic channels to the FlexFX Loop, applying effects to the
entire mix.
2 The six effect buttons both turn on and sync an internal ef-
fect. By keeping this separate from the FlexFx On button, it
is possible to turn on, sync and cue effects, before you hear
them in the Main Mix. Only one internal effect is selected at
a time. With six independent buttons, it is possible to drum in
different effects all with independent beat multipliers, without
interruption.
3 The button engages or bypasses the analog effects in-

insert. The USB insert uses USB record-5 and playback-5 to
form an effects loop. Even when the USB insert is bypassed,
the audio from the external analog loop is sent to the USB
Send. Therefore, when the analog loop is bypassed, USB re-
cord-5 can serve as an audio output for recording the FlexFX
mix on your computer.
5 The FlexFX Cue
FlexFX Loop, after the analog and USB inserts and before the
FlexFx ON switch. This allows cuing the FlexFX mix and any
applied effects before they are heard in the Main Mix.

the FlexFX mix. When this switch is off, the FlexFX Loop is
bypassed and the dry FlexFX mix is routed to the Main Mix.
This allows applying and cueing any combination of effects
in the FlexFX Loop before hearing those effects in the Main
Mix. When you're ready to listen to the affected audio, engage
