About the internal effects
The internal effects of the CL series console can be mounted in EFFECT racks 1–8, and patched to an
output channel’s output or input channel’s input, or inserted into a channel. For each effect mounted in
a rack, you can choose one of 54 types of effect.
With the default settings, the signals from MIX channels 17–24 are input to racks 1–8, and from the
racks are then output to ST IN 1–8 (L/R).
NOTE
Some effect types can be mounted only in racks 1, 3, 5 or 7.
To use an internal effect via send and return, assign the output of a MIX channel. to the input of the
effect, and assign the output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the corresponding output
channel is used as a master channel for the effect send, and the input channel is used as an effect return
channel.
Alternatively, you can assign the input and output of the internal effect to the insert-out/in of a desired
channel (except for a ST IN channel), so that the effect is inserted into that channel.
The internal effects are categorized into two groups: “STEREO type” (2-in/2-out) effects that process
the L/R channel input signals independently, and “MIX type” (1-in/2-out) effects that mix the two
channels before processing them.
If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an effect, the way in which the L/R channels are
processed will depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type is selected, as follows.
■ 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, see “Basic settings for MIX buses
and MATRIX buses” on page 202.)
1. Follow steps 1–3 described in “Virtual rack operations” on page 115, to mount an
effect in a rack.
The rack in which an effect is mounted will indicate the effect type used by that effect, the number
of inputs and outputs, and the levels before and following the effect.
