Add and use FX
There are two ways to use each FX Unit, Shared or Inserted .
When in Shared Mode, the FX Unit processes signal from multiple channels at the
same time. The ‘ wet ’ processed signal can then be sent, at different levels, to
outputs and be heard alongside the ‘ dry ’ signals coming directly from the channels.
When Inserted , the FX Unit is used on a single input or output channel. Getting its
signal from after the gate of an input channel or right at the beginning of an output
channel. The FX Unit output is then fed back into the channel at the same point so
all other processing (e.g. PEQ) will affect it.
Using an FX Unit in Shared Mode
1. Go to the FX screen and select one of the FX
Units on the left-hand side.
2. To choose a different FX type, use the Library
button at the right top corner of the screen, select
an FX type or stored preset then recall it.
3. At the top of the screen, ensure the CONTROL tab
is selected and the FX Unit controls are shown.
4. Toward the bottom left, set FX Unit Mode to
Shared (if not already set).
5. Set the FX Send Level to 0dB as a starting point.
This can be adjusted at any time to control the
overall signal level being fed into the FX Unit.
6. Set the FX Level to LR to 0dB as a starting point.
This controls the amount of ‘ wet ’ FX signal being
heard in the Main LR.
