Use post fade Aux 5 & 6 as the sends from ZED so when you move the channel
fader the effects level stays in proportion.

Select Aux 5-6 on the USB output selector switches.

USB lead carries the digital signals to & from the computer.

Select USB Device Left for Aux 3 or Right for Aux 4 as the input for the track in
the software package.

You can use a send bus in software as you would a hardware mixer.

Assign an effect from your software plug-in list.

If using reverb, it’s a good idea to have 100% wet mix level and reduce the pre-
delay in order to compensate for any latency in USB.

Send the output of the software group or bus to USB Device. In this case, and
probably with most reverbs, it will be stereo so it will go to left & right.

Set the USB return to be sent to ST3. It can then be sent directly to LR or to the
stereo channel by pressing in the under-panel switch below the ST3 Level control.
