3.3.11.2 Insert Parameters
The Insert section provides selection and control of the insert point (INS
ON/OFF) and the MIX function (ON/OFF), plus defining the Mix Ratio
(MIX%).
INSERT: ON activates the Insert Return signal; OFF selects the Input Signal (which
corresponds to the Insert Send signal).
MIX: ON activates the Insert MIX function; OFF selects only the Insert Return
signal.
When the MIX function is set to ON, the ratio of the dry (send) to the wet
(return) signal depends on the selected Mix Ratio. In other words, mixing
between the Insert Send and the Insert Return signals is possible.
MIX %: If the MIX function is ON, this parameter allows mixing or blending of the
dry (send) signal with the wet (return) in 1% increments. Dry signal only:
0% setting; wet signal only: 100% setting.
Note: If the Insert is routed to a non-digital external device (such as an analog
compressor patched through D/A and A/D converters), a comb-filter effect
will result if the Insert Return and Mix are activated and the MIX % is set
anywhere between DRY and WET. When inserting external analog devices,
the MIX% should always be set to WET (unless this comb-filter effect is
desired).
