We firstly highlight the difference between Master and Insert effects.
1. the Insert effect breaks the signal between the input and the output of the track, meaning that the sound is fully processed. Popular insert effects include compressor, limiter, distortion, equalizer (EQ), chorus, flanger and rotary speaker simulators, although almost any effect is a candidate. Usually insert effects are used for individual tracks treatement.
2. the Master effect mixes the full dry signal with a variable amount of wet signal and is mostly used to process multiple tracks togheter. The most commonly used master effects are ambience algorithms like reverb and delay.
The FX architecture of the Pa-Series is GM compliant and conceived so that you have up to four Master effects, but you can use FX 2 (Sound mode) or FX B and D (Style Play, Song Play and Sequencer modes) as Insert effects. Here is how to program them.
1. Press the MENU button, and select the Effects section.
2. Assign the Insert effect to the FX 2 (Sound mode) or FX B or D (all other modes) processor. Assign its input a "Send" value of 127. Set the "Wet/Dry" parameter to Wet. Uncheck the "Send to Master" option (Sound mode) or set the "Pan" to Off (Pa1X - Pa80) or uncheck the "Dry" parameter in the "Volume/Pan" tab (all other models).
3. Set a value different than 0 for the "2 to 1", "B to A" or "D to C" parameter.
4. Set the "Send" value for FX 1, A or C a value of 0, to avoid the dry signal enters the FX processor twice.
5. Write the Sound, STS or Performance to memory.
