Effects
This chapter explains the functionality and operation of the PM5D’s internal effects.
About the internal effects
The PM5D contains eight internal effect modules. For each module, you can choose one of 55 effect types for the module to
use.
Note
The eight effects can also be used as GEQ modules
(

p.119).
To use an internal effect via send/return, assign the output
of a MIX channel to the input of the effect, and assign the
output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the
corresponding MIX bus is used as an effect send AUX bus,
and the input channel is used as an effect return channel.
By default, the L/R outputs of effects 1–4 are assigned to L/
R of FX RTN channels 1–4.
Alternatively, you can insert an internal effect into a chan-
nel by assigning the input/output of the internal effect to
the insert-out/insert-in of the desired channel.
The PM5D’s effect types fall into two categories; “stereo
effect types” which process the L/R channel input signals
independently, and “mix effect types” which mix the two
channels before processing the signal.
If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an
effect, the way in which the L/R channels are processed will
depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type
is selected, as follows.
If a signal is assigned to only one input of an effect, it will
be processed as mono-in/stereo-out regardless of whether a
Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected.
