Using the master effect
One master effect processor is built into the D4, and can be applied to the tracks during playback, during �Mastering� or during �Bounce� recording. Use the �Send� (send level) of each track to adjust the depth of the effect being applied to that track. This type of effect is used mainly for spatial-type effects (such as reverb) or stereo modulation to enhance the overall depth of the song and to improve the balance. 1 Select the master effect. Press the FX [MASTER] key; the key will light.
To turn it off, press and hold the key.
2 Select an effect program. Turn the [VALUE] dial to select an effect program. Listen to the playback to hear the result of the �nal effect.
2. Editing an effect
You can edit any of the effect program that you have selected, for each effect type.
If you move to another mode or turn off the power without saving the edited effect, your settings will be lost. If you will want to use the edited effect again, you must execute the �Save effect� operation.
Effect programs and chains
The combination of effect modules that can be used simultaneously and the order of their connection is referred to as a �chain.� The D4 provides eleven chains that are suitable for a variety of situations: [CHAIN A]�[CHAIN E] and [CHAIN 1]�[CHAIN 6]. The factory preset settings contain 100 effect programs, each consisting of one of these chains. To create a custom-edited effect program, you will start with one of these factory-preset effect programs.
2 Select an effect program. Turn the [VALUE] dial to select an effect program. 3 While you listen to the playback, adjust the effect return level and send levels. Press the [SEL] key, the �SEND� icon will appear in the display. Use the track 1�4 [PAN] knobs to adjust the send levels. Use the master [PAN] knob to adjust the return level.
Using the �nal effect
One stereo �nal effect processor is built into the D4. This effect is applied to the master L/R signal immediately before the master fader. For example you can use a dynamics-type effect program (such as a limiter) to make the overall level more consistent. 1 Select the �nal effect. Press the FX [FINAL] key; the key will light.
To turn it off, press and hold the key.
Selecting the effect type and chain
In order to edit an effect, you must �rst select an effect type and a chain. To select an effect type, press one of the four FX keys: [GUITAR/MIC], [INSERT/GTR+VO], [MASTER], or [FINAL]. This selection will determine the position in the signal chain where the effect is inserted, and the type of input/output. The effect type you select also determines the type of chains that are available.
