Rearranging the order of the effect slots
The Function menu items “Move up” and “Move down” allow you to rear-
range the order of the effect slots. The effect order in a chain determines
to a certain degree how the effects will affect each other. If you have se-
lected to use compression and reverb for example, the order decides
whether compression affects the clip signal only (compressor used as Ef-
fect 1), or both the clip signal and the reverb signal (compressor used as
Effect 2). The rule is that any effect that follows a previous effect slot will
process the previous effect(s) (or a mix of input/effect in case Split mode
is used). Proceed as follows:
1. Open the effect dialog for the first effect in a chain consisting of at least
two active effect slots.
2. Select the Function menu item “Move down”.
The effect dialog remains open and unchanged except that the previous Effect 1 slot now
becomes Effect slot 2 and vice versa.
3. Now selecting “Move up” would return both effect slots to their original
positions.
Repeating step two again would swap Effect slot 2 with slot 3 (if available), etc. Only rele-
vant menu items are selectable, you can’t select “Move down” for the last effect slot or
“Move up” for the first effect slot.
• You can also reorder effect slots in the Plug-ins view.
See “Managing effects in the Plug-ins view” on page 483.
Using effect envelopes (clip effects only)
It is possible to automate the effect send level for split mode clip effects
by using effect envelope curves. Proceed as follows:
1. Open the clip speed menu for a clip that has a split mode effect active.
2. Select “Show envelope” from the clip speed menu.
The clip’s split mode effects are now selectable from the “Show envelope” submenu.
3. Select the effect to which you want to add an effect envelope.
The effect envelope appears in the clip.
4. Editing the effect envelope is done using the same methods as for volume
envelopes.
