Automatic True Bypass - Fractal Audio FX8 Owner's Manual

AUTOMATIC TRUE BYPASS

Automatic True Bypass provides the option to engage True Bypass automatically when all effects in the PRE
or POST chain have been bypassed or removed*. It works individually on each chain, so an Automatic True
Bypass of the PRE chain does not also affect the POST chain (and vice versa).
This feature is either ON or OFF; you can't enable it for PRE and have it disabled on POST (and vice versa).
Automatic True Bypass defeats ALL DSP effects. Effect tails STOP. Pad, Headroom, and Level settings are
bypassed. The buffered signal is routed directly from the INs to the OUTs.
*All effects are also considered "removed" if the PRE/POST configuration shows a "0".
WHEN AUTOMATIC TRUE BYPASS IS ON:
1. When all PRE effects are removed or bypassed—either manually, or by a SCENE—
AUTO TRUE BYPASS will engage for the PRE chain.
2. When all POST effects are removed or bypassed—either manually, or by a SCENE—
AUTO TRUE BYPASS will engage for the POST chain.
TO ENABLE/DISABLE AUTO TRUE BYPASS:
1. Press the SETUP button.
2. Press #3 to enter the GLOBAL menu.
3. Use the NAV and VALUE knobs to change AUTO TRUE BYPASS to "ON" or "OFF".
