Auxiliary Send Parameters
The Auxiliary Send parameters determine the level of the program signal sent to the
auxiliary effects chain.
Aux Send
The Aux 1 send works as a dry/wet mix, so that as you turn up the Aux 1 send,
the program’s unprocessed signal is turned down. With an Aux 1 send set to 50%
you hear an equal amount of processed and unprocessed signal (called wet and dry,
respectively.) With an Aux send set to 100% you hear only the processed (wet) signal
and none of the original unprocessed (dry) signal.
For most programs, the Aux 2 send works the same way as the Aux 1 send, and
send level is set in percent. For some programs (mostly piano programs), the Aux
2 send level is set in dB and works more like a traditional send on an audio mixing
board. The level of signal sent to the Chain is set in dB, the higher the value the
more processed signal you will hear. When the Aux 2 send level is set in dB, the
unprocessed signal does not get turned down as the Aux 2 send is turned up.
Pre/Post Ins
The Pre/Post Insert parameter determines the point at which the auxiliary effect is
applied to the signal.
When this parameter is set to Post, the Forte applies the auxiliary effect to the signal
post insert, i.e., after the insert effect has been applied.
When this parameter is set to Pre, the Forte applies the auxiliary effect to the signal
pre insert.
To hear a program put through two effects Chains in series (i.e., route the processed
Insert signal through the Aux 1 Chain), choose your desired effects Chains for the
Insert and Aux 1, set each bus Output to Main, and set the Aux 1 Send parameter to
100%. Then, set the Pre/Post Insert parameter to Post.
To hear a program put through two effects Chains in parallel (i.e., don’t route the
processed Insert signal through the Aux 1 Chain), choose your desired effects Chain
for the Insert and either Aux, set each bus Output to Main, and set the Aux Send
parameter to either 50% or 0 dB. Then, set the Pre/Post Insert parameter to Pre for
the desired aux.
With respect to each other, the Aux 1 and Aux 2 are always in parallel, that is, the
output of one Aux Chain can not be processed by the other Aux Chain.
