Insert effects and send return effects are selected and
adjusted the same way.
You can select the most appropriate modules from the
algorithms, edit types and parameters and use saved
patches.
There are a few major differences between the two
types of effects when making settings. For an INSERT
EFFECT, you select a patch and set the insertion
point. For a SEND RETURN EFFECT, you adjust the
send level of the signals using the mixer.
Other functions are “IMPORT” to get patches from
another project and “REC SIGNAL” to apply the effect
only to monitoring.
The use procedures of effects are the same when
using the R16 as an audio interface and control
surface, but the patches are initialized when the unit is
not used as a recorder.
Input/output of the insert and send return effects
There are 2 types of effects processors built in to the R16—insert effects and send return effects. You
can use them at the same time.

You can select inputs to apply effects to

tracks.
Apply processing to the playback sound of
any audio tracks in the track mixer.
