Using the insert effect

This section explains how to select the position for the insert

effect, how to select a patch, and how to edit the patch.

About insert effect patches

The insert effect is a multi-effect unit that contains a number

of single effects such as compressor, distortion, and delay,

connected in series. Each of these separate effects is called

an “effect module”, and up to six effect modules can be used

simultaneously.

A combination of effect modules that can be used

simultaneously is called an “algorithm”. You can use one of

the following five algorithms.

DUAL
This algorithm has two entirely separate mono inputs and

mono outputs. The algorithm comprises three types: “Mic &

Mic” for two microphones, “G/B & Mic” for guitar/bass and

microphone, and “Gtr & Bass” for guitar and bass.

An algorithm suitable for simultaneous recording of vocals

and guitar, or for two guitars or bass guitars.

GUITAR/BASS
An algorithm suitable for recording guitar/bass.

MIC
An algorithm suitable for vocals or microphone recording.

LINE
An algorithm suitable mainly for recording line-level output

instruments such as synthesizer or electric piano.

MASTERING
An algorithm suitable for processing a stereo mix signal,

such as during mixdown.

The arrangement of the effect modules and the signal flow

for each algorithm is shown in the diagram below.

INT

There are three types of algorithms: mono input/stereo out-

put, stereo input/stereo output, and mono input x 2/mono

output x 2. This difference will affect the signal flow when the

insert effect is inserted. For details, refer to p.120.

Each effect module comprises various parameters that adjust

the effect type and the effect depth. Settings for the

parameters of each effect module and an overall volume

setting (patch level) are collectively referred to as a “patch”.

A newly created project contains 280 patches, and these

patches are organized according to the five algorithms. You

can instantly switch insert effect settings simply by selecting

the appropriate algorithm, and then selecting a patch.
