FX Sends

Essentials

FX Sends add effects to tracks using built-in reverb and delay, plus custom effects connected to the Stagebox. Use sends to apply the same effect to multiple tracks (like a shared reverb) or create parallel processing chains. Each channel can send to multiple effects simultaneously.

• Built-in reverb and delay sends (always available)

• Custom effects via Stagebox for advanced routing

• Per-channel send levels for individual control

• Send vs insert: sends create parallel processing, inserts process the entire signal

Reverb (Built-in)

Each mixer channel has access to a built-in reverb effect that is always available and does not require patching. It adds spaciousness and depth to your sound.

Send & Filter	Send and filter module for level and frequency control (see Gain & Filter).
Room Size	Controls the size of the reverb space (0-100%).
Pre Delay	Sets the delay before the reverb starts (8-500ms).
Damp	Controls the damping/high-frequency rolloff of the reverb (0-100%).
Volume & Pan	Controls the output level and stereo positioning of the reverb effect (see Volume & Pan).

Delay (Built-in)

Each mixer channel has access to a built-in delay effect that is always available and does not require patching. It creates echo and rhythmic effects.

Send & Filter	Send and filter module for level and frequency control (see Gain & Filter).
Feedback	Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back (0-100%).
Steps	Sets the number of delay steps (1-7).
Length	Sets the delay timing: 1/16, 1/8T (triplet), or 1/8.
Volume & Pan	Controls the output level and stereo positioning of the reverb effect (see Volume & Pan).

Custom FX

In addition to built-in effects, you can add external effects:

Send & Filter	Send and filter module for level and frequency control (see Gain & Filter).
FX Chain	Preview of the effect chain as configured in the Stagebox.
Volume & Pan	Controls the output level and stereo positioning of the reverb effect (see Volume & Pan).

Examples

Creating Space

Reverb	Add room reverb to vocals for presence. Use hall reverb on drums for size. Apply plate reverb to guitars for smoothness.
Delay	Sync delay to tempo for rhythmic effects. Use ping-pong delay for stereo width. Apply filtered delay for creative textures.

Dynamic Effects

Compression	Use custom compressors for character. Apply parallel compression for punch. Add multiband compression for control.
EQ	Use custom EQ for specific character. Apply surgical EQ for problem solving. Add harmonic EQ for warmth.

Creative Processing

Modulation	Add chorus for width and movement. Use flanger for sweeping effects. Apply phaser for psychedelic sounds.
Distortion	Add subtle saturation for warmth. Use overdrive for character. Apply distortion for aggressive sounds.

Practical Tips

Practical Tips

• Use the Filter module to apply Low Cut to prevent low-end buildup.

• Use reverb sparingly - too much can muddy your mix.

• Sync delay times to your project tempo for musical effects.

• Apply effects to groups for consistent processing.

• Use the Stagebox for creative effect chains.

• Balance wet and dry signals for optimal effect blending.

• Consider using effects on sends rather than inserts for ambience.
