Adding Insert effects
To add an effect device as an insert effect, proceed as follows:
1. Select a channel strip in the Main Mixer, a Mix Channel or Audio Track device in the rack, or an audio track or
Mix Channel track in the sequencer.
2. Select the desired effect device from the Create menu or from the context menu.
The effect device is created and automatically routed in the Insert FX container in the channel's rack device.
A Scream 4 device created as Insert FX in an Audio Track device.
3. If you need to re-route any connections, press [Tab] to flip the rack around.
The “To Device” and “From Device” connections in the Insert FX slot in the Audio Track device.
! Note that the Mix Channel/Audio Track device must be unfolded to show the connections.
D If desired, re-route the connections according to the standard routing procedures (see “Manual routing”).
The signals always travel from the “To Devices” outputs, via the desired effect devices, to the “From Devices” in-
puts on the Mix Channel/Audio Track device.
• When the Show Insert FX button is on, you can add devices directly in the insert FX container area, drag de-
vices in or out, etc. - just like with a Combinator (see “The Combinator”).
! Note that if you add, load or route insert effects in stereo, and the Mix Channel/Audio Track device (and chan-
nel strip) is in mono, the channel will automatically switch to stereo.
Loading Effect Combi patches
It’s possible to load Effect Combi patches directly into the Insert FX container of the channel. An Effect Combi patch
loaded in the Insert FX container has the same functionality as a regular Combinator patch, with the following excep-
tions:
• Insert FX do not receive note and performance controller data (Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel etc.).
• If you load a Combinator patch which has a backdrop image, it is not shown in the Insert FX section in the rack.
