Creating an Effect Send/Return
An effect send/return lets you send signals from multiple Input
Channels (using Aux sends) to effects plug-ins such as reverbs
and delays. In this configuration, the effects plug-ins are shared,
letting you conserve DSP resources. The following procedure
describes using a mono input/stereo output format plug-in.
To create an effect send:
1 Go to the Plug-Ins page and put your system into Config mode.
2 Click the Plug-In selector on an empty rack slot. (You can also
use an already assigned rack slot to change a plug-in assign-
ment.).
3 Choose Other, then select a plug-in showing a 1 in, 2 out for-
mat
.
4 Click the Plug-In Input selector at the top of the corresponding
rack slot to choose the Aux or Variable Group you want to use
as the effect send.
5 From the list, choose Bus Outs > Aux (or Group for a Variable
Group bus), then choose the desired mono Aux or Variable
Group.
6 Click the Plug-In Output selector to choose the channel(s) to
return the effect to a channel.
7 From the list, choose Channel (Input Channel) or FX Return
from the list. Plug-ins indicated as stereo (
2 out) must be re-
turned to a stereo channel.
When a bus-fed plug-in has both its input source and output as-
signed, it appears similar to the following in the rack:
