Signal Flow
When using effects, it is important to understand how your signal is being processed. For each
zone (or track in Song Mode) your signal can be sent to the Aux effects before or after being
processed by the Program’s Insert effects.
The diagram below shows the possible routes that the signal of a program can “flow” through to
reach the different types of effects. Follow the appropriate route to help visualize the stages in
which the signal is being processed. The first two zones (or tracks in Song Mode) are diagramed
as an example (represented by dark lines.) The 14 additional available zones (or tracks in Song
mode) are represented by gray lines (labeled as Etc.) The dotted lines represent your options for
choosing either a pre- or post-insert Aux send for each zone/track. A circle with an arrow
through it shows a point where the signal level can be adjusted. A circled E shows where signals
are mixed together.
When using effects, the first decision to make is whether you want to use an Insert or Aux effect
(see the Insert Effects and Aux Effects sections above.) If you are using both types of effects for a
zone (or track in Song Mode,) you can choose to have your signal sent to the Aux effects before
or after being processed by the Insert effects. When your signal is sent to the Aux Effects after
being processed by the Program’s Insert Effects, this is called applying the Aux Effect post-
Insert. When your signal is sent to the Aux Effects before being processed by the Program’s Insert
Effects, this is called applying the Aux Effect pre-Insert.
When an Aux Effect is applied post-Insert, the wet (processed) Aux signal has a series of effects
applied to it—i.e., cascaded effects. This means that the signal that is blended back in from the
result of the Aux Effect will also contain the result of the Insert Effect.
When an Aux Effect is applied pre-Insert, the wet Aux signal has no Insert effect applied to it,
and the final output has parallel effects—i.e., distinct effects. This means that the signal that is
blended back in from the result of the Aux Effect will not contain the result of the Insert Effect.
