8L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 5.5: AUX/FX SENDS CHANNEL EDIT > AUX/FX SENDS (4 on Ui12, 6 on Ui16) The AUX and FX SENDS tabs in the EDIT screen are a convenient way to access all output contributions for a single channel - as opposed to the ‘mix view’ approach of the dedicated AUX SEND and FX SEND pages. The AUX SENDS view/tab for both phone and tablet software versions includes PRE/POST and MUTE buttons for each send.
8L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 6.1: VIEW & MUTE GROUPS MIX FEATURES > VIEW & MUTE GROUPS In Ui software you can mute channels individually, or in Mute Groups.

8L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 6.2: MOREME MIX FEATURES > MOREME MOREME allows users to assign their own channels (which may include a vocal mic and an instrument channel for example) and mix the balance of those channels with a single large fader. This is a simple way to mix your own sound against other band members. To view MOREME in the phone software, open the NAV menu and press MOREME, or it can be accessed from the AUX SENDS screen with a double press on the green AUX MASTER fader.
8L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 7.0: FX EDIT FX EDIT Digital FX are used in all types of audio to help create depth and colour to a mix. The Ui12 has three internal Lexicon FX processors: Reverb, Delay, and Chorus. The Ui16 has an additional processor that can either be an additional reverb or delay. There are dedicated FX Sends and Returns for the internal FX - simply adjust the corresponding FX Send level and bring up the level of the FX Return channel to incorporate FX into your mix. See section 4.
8L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 7.1: REVERB FX EDIT > REVERB Reverberation (or “reverb” for short) is the complex effect created by the way we perceive sound in an enclosed space. Reverb is dependent on many features of that space, including the size, shape and the type of materials that line the walls. Reverb is a natural component of the acoustic experience, and most people feel that something is missing without it.

Press the DIV display to access a drop down box with the available musical note values. Press the TAP TEMPO button repeatedly to tap in the desired delay time.
L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 7.3: CHORUS FX EDIT > CHORUS Chorus creates a lush, full sound by combining two or more signals together where one is unaffected and the other signals vary in pitch very slightly over time. Chorus is commonly used to fatten up tracks and to add body to guitars without colouring the original tone. Chorus can also be used with discretion to thicken a vocal track.
8L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 8.0: SHOWS & SNAPSHOTS SHOWS & SNAPSHOTS A SHOW is a collection of SNAPSHOTS. A SNAPSHOT is a record of every setting on the console. You can save and recall snapshots and shows via the Ui control software - Phone or Tablet. A snapshot remembers every setting of your mixer at one time. A common usage for snapshots is to have one snapshot per song. So your snapshot list could look exactly like your song list.
