Applying ambience to the multi-effect’s sound

Multi-effect and ambience routing
The sound of a pad’s instrument A is sent to ambience (AMBIENCE SEND–PAD) before it enters the multi-effect
(MFX1–3). This allows you to adjust the amount of ambience independently for each pad of each instrument.
Applying a multi-effect can modify the sound dramatically, but the sound sent to ambience will not be modified by the
multi-effect.
You can use “AMBIENCE SEND–MFX” if you want the sound that’s been processed by the multi-effect to be sent to
ambience. However, since the multi-effect is also receiving sound from other pads, it won’t be possible to adjust the
ambience send individually for each pad.
