NOTE
• If you’re using a stereo source, assign the L/R signals of the stereo MIX channels to the L/R inputs
of the rack.
• If you’re using the output of the effect in stereo, assign the R input of the ST IN channel selected
in step 3 to the R output of the rack.
• You can select more than one output destination for the effect.
• For more information on setting the effect parameters, refer to “Editing the internal effect
parameters” on page 114.
 Adjusting the effect send level of a input channel
In the SEND field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, press and select the TO MIX
SEND LEVEL knob for the MIX bus set as the input source for the rack, and use the [TOUCH
AND TURN] knob to adjust the send level of the signal sent from each channel to that MIX
bus.
NOTE
• When adjusting the effect send level, make sure that the send level from the ST IN channel you
selected as the output destination for the rack to the corresponding MIX bus is set to –∞ dB. If
you raise this send level, the output of the effect will be returned to the input of the same effect,
possibly causing oscillation.
• If you press the knob once again, the MIX SEND window (8ch) for the send-destination MIX bus
will appear. This window contains on/off switches for the signals sent from each channel to the
corresponding bus, and lets you select the send point (PRE or POST) (page 35).
 Adjusting the master level of the effect send
Operate the fader for the MIX channel you specified as the input source for the rack.
Set the level as high as possible without allowing the post-effect signal to reach the overload
point.
NOTE
The input and output levels of the effect are shown by the input/output meters in the upper right
of the EFFECT EDIT window.
 Adjusting the effect return level
To adjust the effect return level, operate the fader for the ST IN channel you specified as the
output destination for the rack.
Inserting an internal effect into a channel
This section explains how to insert an effect into a channel by assigning the input/output of
the internal effect to the input/output of the desired channel (except for a ST IN channel). For
details on editing the effect parameters, refer to “Editing the internal effect parameters” on
page 114.
NOTE
• If you are inserting an effect into a channel that handles a stereo source, assign the R channel
insert-out/insert-in to the R input and output of the effect in the same way as step 3.
• For more information about how to operate the INSERT/DIRECT OUT window, refer to “Inserting
an external device into a channel” on page 18.
• The levels before and after the effect are shown by the input and output meters in the upper right
of the EFFECT EDIT window.
• Adjust the effect send master level and the effect parameters so that the signal does not reach
the overload point at the input or output stage of the effect.
STEP
1. Follow steps 1–3 described in “Virtual rack operations” on page 103, to mount an
effect in a rack.
2. Press the INPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select the insert-
out for one of the channels as the input source for the rack (page 103).
3. Press the OUTPUT PATCH L button in the VIRTUAL RACK window, and select the
insert-1in or insert-2in of the same channel as the output destination for the rack
(page 103).
4. Use the Bank Select keys and the [SEL] key to select the channel into which you
inserted the effect.
5. Press the popup button in the INSERT field in the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen.
6. In the INSERT/DIRECT OUT popup window, turn on the INSERT ON/OFF button for
the channel into which you inserted the effect.
7. Display the EFFECT EDIT window again, and select the effect type and edit the effect
parameters.
8. Using the fader of the channel you selected as the rack’s output destination in step
3, adjust the level as appropriate.
