Insert FX section
The channel strip Insert FX section allows you to load an Effect Combi patch, which can in turn contain any number
of effects and other devices. Insert effect devices that belong to the patch are added to the Audio Track or Mix Chan-
nel device in the rack.
The main parts of this section are the assignable Rotary knobs and buttons. Combinator Effect patches in the Factory
Sound Bank will have various parameters and switches assigned to these controls, and the labels will have names
describing the parameter/function.
Insert effects process the whole channel signal, as opposed to Send effects where the effect balance is adjustable.
Typical examples of when to use insert effects include compression, distortion and modulation effects such as cho-
rus.
The Insert effects can be placed ahead of the Dynamics and EQ sections in the signal path - see “Signal Path sec-
tion”.
