The Main Channel Bus
The Main Channel Bus strip contains the following controls:
1. Drive: Controls the saturation amount applied to the main signal, making the signal slightly
distorted.
2. Width: Controls the stereo width of the Main Bus. In the middle position, the stereo width is as
originally recorded. Turn the Width control right to increase the width of the instrument in the
stereo eld. When the control is turned all the way to the left, the signal becomes mono.
3. Limiter: The Limiter ensures the output signal coming through the Main Bus level stays below
0 dB, thus preventing digital clipping.
4. Level Fader: Controls the output level of the instrument.
5. Main: Displays the Main Bus effects. For more information see, Main Bus Effects
