Ui12 has four Aux busses available, and Ui16 has six.
8L 8L 8VHU 0DQXDO 4.4: FX SENDS CHANNELS > FX SENDS FX SENDS faders effectively determine the amount of effect (delay, reverb, chorus) on each input channel. They work much like aux sends in that a mix of input channel contributions is created on the FX SENDS page - one for each FX processor. After processing, that mix is returned via its own FX Return channel, which works just like an input channel - adjusting the overall level of that processor’s mix in the master stereo mix.
