The effects send on the channel will control 
the amount of signal to the FX processor 
(in proportion with the Level control). 
The Playback Level will control the amount 
of effects signal gets added to the mix. 
A simple way to use effects processor plugins running on a computer audio application 
or DAW is to use the USB audio connection and select the Aux-FX as the output 
source. In the audio application route the FX signal (USB Right) to a track or bus con-
taining the effects plugin and route the track/bus output back to the ZED (USB audio 
device). In the ZED-10 you can return the effects to either the Playback input or the ST2 
input, here the Playback input is used.
