 STEREO type effects
 MIX type effects
If a signal is assigned to only one input of a two-input effect, it will be processed as mono-in/
stereo-out regardless of whether a Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected. However,
please note that this will not apply to COMP276, COMP276S, COMP260, COMP260S,
EQUALIZER601, and OPENDECK.
Using an internal effect via send and return
This section explains how to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus and a ST IN channel as an
effect return channel, so that the effect can be used in a send and return configuration.
NOTE
• If you want to use a MIX bus as an effect send bus, select “VARI” as the bus type. This will allow
you to adjust the send level separately for each input channel.
• If you want to use the input to an effect in stereo, it can be convenient to assign the send-
destination MIX bus to stereo. (For details on bus assignments, refer to page 51.)
NOTE
• If you're using a stereo source, assign the L/R signals of the stereo MIX channels to the L/R inputs
of the rack.
• If you're using the output of the effect in stereo, assign the R input of the ST IN channel selected
in step 3 to the R output of the rack.
• You can select more than one output destination for the effect.
• For more information on setting the effect parameters, refer to “Editing the internal effect
parameters” (page 139).
 Adjusting the effect send level of a input channel
In the TO MIX/TO MATRIX field in the OVERVIEW screen, press and select the TO MIX SEND
LEVEL knob for the MIX bus set as the input source for the rack, and use the multifunction
knob to adjust the send level of the signal sent from each channel to that MIX bus.
NOTE
• If a MATRIX bus is shown in the TO MIX/TO MATRIX field, use the [MIX 1-16] key or the [MIX 17-
24/MATRIX] key in the SELECTED CHANNEL section to select the MIX bus at the input source
for the rack.
• When adjusting the effect send level, make sure that the send level from the ST IN channel you
selected as the output destination for the rack to the corresponding MIX bus is set to 0. If you
raise this send level, the output of the effect will be returned to the input of the same effect,
possibly causing oscillation.
• If you press the knob once again, the MIX SEND window (8ch) for the send-destination MIX bus
will appear. This window contains on/off switches for the signals sent from each channel to the
corresponding bus, and lets you select the send point (PRE or POST) (page 38 ).
STEP
1. Follow steps 1-3 described in “Virtual rack operations” (page 125), to mount an
effect in a rack.
2. Press the INPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select a MIX
channel as the input source for the rack (page 125).
3. Press the OUTPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select the L
input of a ST IN channel as the output destination for the rack (page 125).
4. Adjust the send level from each channel in the TO MIX/TO MATRIX field in the
OVERVIEW screen.
5. Adjust the master level of the effect send of the MIX channel you selected as the
input source for the rack.
6. Adjust the effect return level of the ST IN channel you selected as the output
destination for the rack.
