FX Sends
Matrix has four mono FX sends. Only two FX busses can be fed at any one time by a
particular channel, using the two gain pots (which have Total Recall LEDs). By default,
the sends to FX busses 1 and 2 are active. Pressing the
FX3 button in the Master
Channel switches the
FX1/3 signal feed from the FX1 bus to the FX3 bus, and this
routing is indicated by the
FX3 LED to the right of the gain pot being lit. Similarly,
pressing the
FX4 button in the Master Channel switches the FX2/4 signal feed from the
FX2 bus to the FX4 bus, and this routing is indicated by the
FX4 LED to the right of the
gain pot being lit.
Pressing the gain pot switches the send on and off. The
ON LED below the pot will light to indicate that it is on.
The FX sends are fed post-fader by default, but have two alternative sources: the pre-fader (post-insert) signal and the
CUE bus.

The source is selected using the
SRC button in the FX1/3 and FX2/4 sections of the Master Channel, and is indicated by the
LEDs above and to the right of the send gain pot, as well as by the colour of the
SRC button:

When an
FX3 or FX4 bus is pressed, the source selection and gain for that signal feed remain unchanged.
