Send effects
This unit has 3 types of send effects.
Adjust the level of the signal sent to the effect from each
track by using their SEND EFF 1/EFF 2 knobs.

The return level from the send effect (
RETURN LEVEL
)
can be adjusted on the Send Effect screen.
1. Press the EFFECT button to open the Effect screen.
2. Set the send effect.
Press the EFFECT button to open the Effect screen
where the last operation was performed. Press the F3
(

,

). You cannot use
multiple types of effects simultaneously.
Align the cursor with the parameter that you want
to select, and then use the JOG/DATA dial to set the
parameter.
The return from the send effect is mixed with the
stereo signal.

HOME button to return to the Home screen.
4. Use the SEND EFF 1 knob to adjust the level of the
signal sent to the send effect of each track.
TIP
When using an external effect, connect the output of the
external effect (return) to INPUT A to H. By assigning the
connected input to the stereo bus, you can return the
effect sound to the stereo bus. (See "Assigning to a stereo
bus" on page 44.)
Creating a master file
When you are satisfied with your mix, this unit can record
the mixed down tracks and create a master file.
A master file recorded by this unit is saved as part of the
song.
This master file can be recorded by an external stereo
recorder, and can also be converted by the unit into a WAV
file and stored with the same name of a song in the song
folder of the SD card.
NOTE
Only one master file (song name ".wav") can be created
inside a song (when mastering, there is another file
besides the master file (song name ".wav"), but it is a file
for internal use).
Setting the start and end points
Before creating a master file, set the start and end points
of the mixed down master file. The range between the
song's IN point and OUT point will be recorded as the
master file.
Ordinarily, set the beginning of the song as the IN point
and the end of the song as OUT point.
Press and hold the MARK SET button and press the IN
button where you want to set the IN point (start point) of
the master file, and press and hold the MARK SET button
and press the OUT button where you want to set the OUT
point (end point).
For more information about how to correct the IN/OUT
points, see "Setting IN/OUT points" on page 56.
