THE MAIN MIXER
432
Send FX
Send effects are routed in parallel with the signal chain, and the effect balance can be adjusted - as opposed to In-
sert effects, which are inserted in the signal chain and process the whole channel signal (see “Insert FX”). Typical
Send effects include reverbs and delays.
The Main Mixer can hold up to eight separate Send effects per Song. These eight Send effects can be used simulta-
neously by any or all mixer channels in the Song, at individually adjustable levels per mixer channel. The main Send
FX controls, which include the FX Send and FX Return sub-sections, are located in the Master Section strip in the
mixer. In these sections, you can control the FX Send and FX Return levels to and from all mixer channels, as well as
panning for each of the Send effects.
In addition to the “global” Send FX controls in the Master Section, each mixer channel features a Send FX section,
where you can control the levels to each of the Send effects for the specific mixer channel.
Creating Send effects
Send effects can be added as follows:
1. In the Main Mixer, select a channel strip or the Master Section strip.
2. Select “Create Send FX...” from the context menu.
The Browser appears (if it was hidden) and the Send FX section gets browse focus. Now, you can now browse for
and load effect devices. You can also browse for Effects patches and load these into their corresponding devices,
e.g. Effect Combinators.
! If all eight Send effect busses are already in use, the “Create Send FX...” item on the context menu is grayed
out.
