Bus Effects
Each Program on the Fusion has two effects sends. This menu lets you
assign the type of effect as well as send and return levels. Take a look at
the Output Block Diagram on page 262 to see how the Bus Sends are
routed.
[Note: The image above is taken from Mix mode whereas most other
images in this chapter have been taken from the Program mode. This is
because Mix and Song modes have a few additional parameters that are
not included in Program mode.]
