[. . . ] There are 2 types of effects adjustable by their mixer SEND LEVELS (signal volumes sent to the effect) and they can be used together. Arrangement Display Monaural Arrangement Monaural Display Arrangement Monaural ×2 Display Monaural ×2 Stereo Arrangement Display Stereo Arrangement Monaural ×8 Display Arrangement Monaural ×8 Stereo Display Stereo 46 Effect Input/output of the insert and send return effects There are 2 types of effects processors built in to the R16--insert effects and send return effects. Insert effect/send return effect INPUT 1-8 TRACK 1-16 INSERT EFFECT You can use insert effects on specific channels. SEND RETURN EFFECT The built-in effects in the send return effect of the mixer. Insert effect points CHORUS/DELAY Input You can select inputs to apply effects to signals before recording them to recorder tracks. The recorder (recording) REVERB Send level (Signal volume sent to the effect) The track mixer Track Apply processing to the playback sound of any audio tracks in the track mixer. Master Process the final stereo mix just before the [MASTER] fader (signals recorded to the master track). Mix (return) with the original sounds of the sent track. Mix down The master track (recording) Insert effect signal flow Put the insert effect on a monaural input and output in monaural. Send return effect signal flow Ref. : Insert effect position P. 52 47 Insert effect/send return effect Uses of effects and patches Insert effects and send return effects are selected and adjusted the same way. You can select the most appropriate modules from the algorithms, edit types and parameters and use saved patches. There are a few major differences between the two types of effects when making settings. For a SEND RETURN EFFECT, you adjust the send level of the signals using the mixer. Other functions are "IMPORT" to get patches from another project and "REC SIGNAL" to apply the effect only to monitoring. The use procedures of effects are the same when using the R16 as an audio interface and control surface, but the patches are initialized when the unit is not used as a recorder.

With 8 x Comp EQ setting case Track1-8 Track9-16 · You can select a single INPUT (1~8) only when you have chosen the CLEAN, DISTORTION, ACO/BASS SIM, BASS or MIC algorithm. · You can select Track 1-8 or Track 9-16 only when the 8 x COMP EQ is chosen as the algorithm. · INPUT 1-8 can be selected only when the 8 x COMP EQ algorithm has been chosen. · After you select an insertion place, if you change the algorithm to 8 x COMP EQ, the insertion place will be changed to Input 1-8, Track 1-8 or Track 9-16 (depending on the previous setting). · To insert into a single monaural track output, you must select TRACK 1 ~ TRACK 8. To insert into a two monaural tracks or a stereo track, you must select TRACK 1/2 ~ TRACK 15/16. If you want to insert before the MASTER FADER, you must select MASTER. 6 HINT Press[ ].

Your selection is the left channel when the first row displays "L" and the right channel when the first row displays "R. " · In the 8 x COMP EQ ALGORITHM, each channel has its own HPF, COMPRESSOR and EQ modules and you can turn each effect module on/ off on each channel independently. [. . . ] · If the EQ gain of the track mixer is set extremely high, the sound may be audibly distorted even if the fader is lowered. · When an insert effect is applied to an input, check whether the effect output level (patch level) setting is appropriate.
