Single effect
The single effect provides you with a quality effect in
the internal effect loop. This is most useful in the
mixdown and mastering stages, but it can be used at
any time.
The send level to this effect is controlled by the chan-
nels’
LOOP
levels (“Effect send” on page 23) and the
master
LOOP
level.
The return from this effect is sent to the stereo master
bus, or to the bounce sub mix (“Making a bounce
mix” on page 49).
Press the
SINGLE
EFFECT
key. It lights, and the
screen changes to the
SINGLE EFFECT
screen:
Press the
ENTER
key to enter the library screen to
recall a preset effect or a user effect or to save the
current parameters.
Use the “left” and “right” cursor keys to select the
PRESET
choices, the
USER
settings, or to
SAVE
the cur-
rent parameters.
Scroll up and down through the list that appears, and
press
ENTER
to confirm your choice.

Saving your own settings
Like the mic and multi-effects, it is possible to save
and name your own single effect settings, either over-
writing an existing setting or adding a new setting.
In the library, no matter what name you give to an
effect (for example
HEAVY BASS
), the three-letter
abbreviation of the original preset that was edited to
create the user setting is always shown (for example
PHA
).
