Step 8. Using effects
On the D12, you can use up to eight insert effects that
can be inserted into an analog input or mixer channel,
two master effects that can be applied to the send from
each channel, and a final effect that can be applied to
master LR as the last stage. Each of these effects are
independent, meaning that you can use a maximum of
eleven effect programs simultaneously.
• Effect algorithms: total of 98
• Effect programs:
Preset effects contain effect programs created by profes-
sional musicians and studio engineers.
User effects can store your own effect programs that
you created by editing a preset effect.
It is not possible to rewrite a preset effect program.
1. Insert effects
The insert effects can be inserted into an analog input
or mixer channel, to apply an effect to the analog input
signal or playback track. Effects can also be applied to a
built-in rhythm sound that is input to a mixer channel.
There are four types of insert effects, as described
below. The available effect programs will depend on
the effect type you select. (→p.105, 113)
• 1 in 2 out x 2, 1 in 1 out x 2 (input only)
These are mono-in/stereo-out or mono-out effect
chains consisting of three to five effects. Two of these
chains can be used. These are ideal for adding spa-
ciousness to a lead guitar or vocal.
• 2 in 2out x 2
These are stereo-in stereo-out effects such as reverb,
chorus, and delay. Two such effects can be used
simultaneously. These are ideal for stereo-input
sources such as keyboard.
• 1 in 1 out x 4
These are mono-in mono-out effect chains consist-
ing of two effects. Four such effects can be used
simultaneously. These are ideal for sources whose
stereo location is fixed, such as rhythm guitar.
• 1 in 1 out x 8 (for track playback only)
These are mono-in/mono-out effects can be used
only during track playback. Eight of these effects can
be used.
The effect type selection is made in [INSERT
EFFECT] “InsAss” tab page “SelectEffType.”
In the case of a 24 bit song, only six effects will be
available.
Examples of using the insert effects
Various ways in which insert effects can be used for
recording or track playback are described below for
each effect type.
