2.5.2 Selecting an Output Configuration
Opus can be loaded with several output configurations: Mono, Stereo, 5.1, Multi-Output
(16xMono), Multi-Output (8xStereo, 8xMono), and Multi-Output (16xStereo).
In the Stereo output configu-
ration, all instruments are
output as a stereo pair on channels 1/2.
In the Multi-Ouput (16xStereo) output configuration, there
are up to 16 stereo output pairs available to assign (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, etc).

2.5.3 Loading With Effects Off
If you need to save CPU resources, or want to hold the reverb and cover it with plugins
in your DAW, this option is for you.
To find this option, click on the Settings Menu, then
click Preferences. Select the Other tab in the Prefer-
ences window, and in the ‘Load Options’ area, turn
the ‘Load with Effects off’ switch on.
Using this option eliminates the need to disable the
on board Opus convolution reverb that loads up with
each instrument by default.
Used in combination with multi-outputs, flexibly route microphones to separate channels
in your DAW, and send varying amounts of signal to the reverb setup on an FX Bus as
described further below.
