channel, and applied to the track playback.
1 Select the track(s) that you wish to playback.
Press the [TRACK STATUS] key of one or more
recorded tracks to set their status to PLAY (LED lit
green).
2 Access the [INSERT EFFECT] “InsAss” tab page.
3 Select the “Assign: ” button, and press the
[ENTER] key. In the dialog box that appears,
select “PlayTrack (Trk).”
4 Select the “SelectEffType: ” button, press the
[ENTER] key, and select the effect type. (p.44,
105)
5 Specify the channel into which the effect will be
inserted.
Select the “InsertTo: ” button, and press the
[ENTER] key to open the dialog box.
For each effect, rotate the [VALUE] dial to set
“SelectCh
” to the input (output) channel.
After making the settings, select the “OK” but-
ton and press the [ENTER] key.

2. Master effects
The D12 contains two master effects (MstEff1 and
MstEff2) which can be used simultaneously. You can
adjust the send amount from each channel to change
the depth of the effect.
How the master effects can be used
The master effects are used mainly for spatial process-
ing (reverb etc.) to create an overall sense of depth and
balance.
For example, you could use send 1 for ReverbHall and
send 2 for ReverbRoom, in order to use the effects to
simulate a complex spatial environment.
In this way, you can combine two different effects to
produce results that would not be possible when using
only a single effect.
Using the master effects
1 Access the [MASTER EFFECT/AUX] “MstEff1” or
“MstEff2” tab page.
2 Select an effect program.
Select “Ef
fectNumber,” and rotate the [VALUE]
dial to select the desired effect program.
3 Set the return level from the master effect to the
master LR, and set the return balance.
For this example, set “RetLev” (return level) to
100,” and set “RetBal” (return balance) to “CNT.”
4 Adjust the send levels.
Adjustments for Master Effect 1 are made in the
“EffSnd1” tab page, and for Master Effect 2 in
the “EffSnd2” tab page.
Select the appropriate “Send” icon knob, and
rotate the [VALUE] dial to adjust the send
amount.
Play back to hear the output from master LR,
and audition the resulting effect.
Adjust the return level and send level so that
CLP does not appear in the master effect level
meter.
