14.3 Creating a Send Effect
Sometimes  you  may  want  to  have  a  classic  send  effect,  for  example  a  reverb  which  can  be
shared by multiple sound sources. To make use of a send effect, you need to:
▪ Step 1: Set up a Sound or Group as send effect. This is done by loading an effect into its
first Plug-in slot: ↑14.3.1, Step 1: Set Up a Sound or Group as Send Effect.
▪ Step 2: Route a portion of the desired audio signals from their original Sounds and Groups
to that send effect. This is done via the Output properties of the corresponding Sounds and
Groups: ↑14.3.2, Step 2: Route Audio to the Send Effect.
