3. If you want to apply the effect to a Group (to process the audio of the whole Group), press
Button 2 to select the GROUP tab and press the Group button A–H corresponding to the
desired Group. If the desired Group is in another bank, before you select the Group you
first need to press SHIFT + the corresponding Group button A–H to select the Group
bank.
4. If you want to apply the effect to a Sound, press Button 3 to select the SOUND tab, select
the Group containing that Sound (see previous step), and press SELECT + the pad of that
Sound (or simply hit its pad if pads are in Group mode).
5. Press Button 5/6 to navigate to the Plug-in slot where you want to load the effect (the
name of the Plug-in currently loaded in the selected slot appears between the left and
right arrows under Button 5 and 6 as well as on the left display). If you want to add the
effect in addition to the existing Plug-ins, press Button 6 repeatedly to select EMPTY.
6. Press SHIFT + BROWSE to open the Plug-in Browser and browse the available Effect
Plug-ins.
7. On the left display, turn Knob 1 to select the TYPE from Internal, NI or External.
The right display shows the list of available Internal, Native Instruments or External Plug-
ins, respectively.
8. If you have selected the first Plug-in slot of a Sound, turn Knob 2 to set the SUBTYPE to
Effect.
If you have selected any other Plug-in slot the SUBTYPE field is not available — only Effect
Plug-ins will be listed in the right display.
9. Turn the jog wheel or Knob 5 to browse the available Effect Plug-ins.
10. When you have found the effect you want to use, press the jog wheel or Button 8 (LOAD) to
load it. You can also use Buttons 5 and 6 to step through the list and load each effect
directly.
