Using Effects
Foreffectsprocessing,theOASYSprovides12insert
effects,twomastereffects,andtwototaleffects,
togetherwithamixersectionthatcontrolstherouting
oftheseeffects.Allofthesearestereoin/out.
Specificparametersoftheseeffectscanalsobe
controlledinrealtimefromtheOASYS’controllersor

Effect types
Youcanchoosefrom185differentfull‐digitaleffects.
Theeffectsarecategorizedasfollows.

Insert effects
InsertEffects(IFX1–12)arestereo‐in/stereo‐out.Ifyou
selectDry(unprocessed)fortheWet/Dryparameter,
thestereoinputsignalwillbeoutputinstereowithout
beingprocessedbytheeffect.IfyouselectWet(effect

thefollowingways:
Master Effects
TheI/OsofMasterEffectsMFX1andMFX2arestereo‐
in/stereo‐out.Send1andSend2determinethesend

MastereffectswillnotoutputtheDry(unprocessed)
signalspecifiedinWet/Dry.OnlytheWet(processed)

ways,accordingtothetypeofeffects001–185.
Total Effects
ThetotaleffectsTFX1andTFX2arestereo‐in/stereo‐
out.TheDry(unprocessed)sideoftheWet/Dry
parametersendsthestereoinputsounddirectlytothe
stereooutput.ThewayinwhichtheWet(processed)
sideisoutputdependsonthetypeofeffect,asfollows.
Note:TheParameterGuideincludes
blockdiagramsfor

mono effects to be applied to L and R
independently
