Insert
Input channel insert section provides a send and return out of the signal path,
primarily so that an effects device can be added to the signal’s processing. The send
destination and return source may only be set from the GUI screen, but the INS switch
can be found on the GUI and also in each input fast strip. This section is optional and
assigned on a channel-by-channel basis.
