About the internal effects Using an internal effect via send/ return Here we will explain how to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus and a ST IN channel as an effect return channel, so that the effect can be used in a send/return configuration. HINT • If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select "VARI" as the bus type (→ p. 213). This will allow you to adjust the send level separately for each input channel. • If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it is convenient to assign the send-source MIX bus to stereo (→ p. 213). 1 As described in "Mounting a GEQ or effect in the virtual rack" (→ p. 158) steps 1-3, mount an effect in a rack. A rack in which an effect is mounted will indicate the effect type used by that effect, and the bypass on/off status. 3 Use the OUTPUT L button to open the INPUT CH SELECT popup window, and select the L input of the desired ST IN channel as the output-destination for the rack. The L input of the ST IN channel used as the effect return channel will be assigned to the L output of the effect. For details on the INPUT CH SELECT popup window, refer to step 6 of "Mounting a GEQ or effect in the virtual rack" (→ p. 158). If you're using the output of the effect in stereo, assign the R input of the same ST IN channel to the R output of the rack in the same way. HINT • You can select more than one output destination for the effect. 4 Move the cursor to a rack in which an effect is mounted in the GEQ/EFFECT field, and press the [ENTER] key. The RACK screen will appear, allowing you to edit the parameters of the effect. You can also access the RACK 5-8 screens by repeatedly pressing the [RACK 5-8] key. HINT • The EXTERNAL HA screen that appears when you operate the [RACK 5-8] key is used when you're using an external head amp (→ p. 175). 1 3 24 2 1 3 1 Racks B INPUT buttons C OUTPUT buttons 2 Use the INPUT L button to open the OUTPUT CH SELECT popup window, and select a MIX channel as the input source for the rack. The output of the MIX channel you're using as the effect send will be assigned to the L input of the effect. For details on the OUTPUT CH SELECT popup window, refer to step 4 of "Mounting a GEQ or effect in the virtual rack" (→ p. 158). If you're using a stereo source, assign the L/R signals of the stereo MIX channels to the L/R inputs of the rack. 17 1 MIX BAL. knob This knob adjusts the balance between the original sound and effect sound included in the output signal from the effect.
