SEND AND MASTER MODES
These eects processors can be selected to operate in Send Mode (each sample can
have a unique amount of each eect), or Master Mode (the entire mix of all samples is
subject to the eect). Only one mode (send or master) can be used at a time.
To select between Send and Master eects modes, simply use the buttons in Master Panel
labeled “Send” and “Master.” As you can see in the illustration, the engaged mode is
highlighted in blue, and the Master Eects appear white while the label and controls of the
unselected mode (Send Eects) all appear greyed out.
In either mode, the Eects returns come Post-Filter.
Send Mode
In Send mode, each eect is configured as a separate eect sent parallel to your audio
output. Distortion, Chorus, Delay, and Reverb each exist in parallel to each other, and the
Send Eects knobs control how much of each sample’s output is sent to that eect. This
allows for each sample to have a unique amount of each eect’s processing.
The Send Eects knobs are configured to work as “post fader” auxiliary sends, meaning
that they are dependent upon the level of each Sample Gain Knob. This allows for gain
modulation eects (like amplitude envelopes) to be reflected in the eects processing
as well. However, if Send Eects are engaged but an amplitude envelope has only been
attached to the Master Gain (for the entire mix of samples) this will not be represented in
the send eects.
In Send mode there is still only one of each eect module and the settings for that eect
module will apply to all sample audio that is sent to it.
Master Mode
In Master mode, the eects process the complete mix of all the samples together post-
filter. The Master Eects knobs serve as a dry/wet balance control for each eect.
Distortion, Chorus, Delay, and Reverb are processed one after the other in series from left
to right in the order they are displayed in the interface.
