The default setting for new songs. Good to use for fixed panning sources like rhythm guitar - selecting this configuration lets you
select from four mono Insert effects to be used in the song.

The largest configuration of multiple effect choices - use this one when you need up to eight mono effects in a song. Ideal for fixed
pan sources that need effect isolation, like drums.
