To directly insert an effect into a channel strip:
1 As the Inst 2 track is already selected, simply click the top Insert slot (the slot just below
Inserts) on the left channel strip.
A menu of all available effect plug-ins is shown.
2 Hover the mouse pointer over the Distortion menu item, and click on Bitcrusher in the
sub-menu.
The Bitcrusher is loaded into the top Insert slot of this instrument channel. Its plug-in
window automatically opens. The Library tab to the right of the Arrange window also
updates, showing a list of Bitcrusher settings.
3 Choose any of the Bitcrusher settings. Try this with a few settings, playing your
keyboard after you’ve loaded each.
4 Repeat these steps to insert further effects into Insert slot 2, slot 3, and so on.

Tip: An alternative way to load settings is found in the plug-in window header. This is
discussed in “
Editing Instruments and Effects ” on page 58.
