Function
The input signal is split into three separate channels:
Channel 1 is the unprocessed sound. Channel 2 has the Insert 1 inserted. Channel 3 is only
active in Mode 5, and otherwise muted. Insert 2 moves around in the signal path depending
on the mode setting. It’s also possible to swap the position of the two inserts by pressing the
swap button.
The three channels are followed by a mix point with a blend control between channel 1 and 2.
When Mode 5 is enabled Channel 3 can be mixed into the signal with a separate volume
control. The channel mute buttons cuts the signal without affecting the other channels making it
possible to preview channels without altering any level controls.
Insert 1 is always inserted into channel 2 for parallel processing. Insert 2 can be placed at
four different points in the signal-path.
Modes
Mode 1 - Insert 1 active on channel 2 for parallel processing.
Mode 2 - Insert 2 is placed before the split point.
Mode 3 - Insert 2 is placed in series with insert 1.
Mode 4 - Insert 2 is placed after the mix point.
Mode 5 - Insert 2 is sent to channel 3 for parallel processing.
A green LED shows the position of Insert 1 and a red LED shows position of Insert 2.
Swap
The swap switch change places of the two inserts.
Left picture shows insert 1 inserted into Ch2 and insert 2 inserted after the mix point as a
main output insert. Right picture shows the position of the two inserts after pushing the swap
switch. A separate page shows all 10 different modes.
