[. . . ] The entire Send is disconnected from the Effects Processors even if only one plug is inserted into the Submix jack. The four Effect Sends allow you to get the most out of the two effect processors. For example, with Effect B set to an echo algorithm, you could route one MIDI channel to Send 3 and set the effect amount to 80%. Another MIDI channel could be routed to Send 4 with an effect amount of only 5%. This is almost like having two different effects!The Mix Output function is also useful when sequencing since it lets you route specific MIDI channels (and thus sequencer tracks) to specific Sub outputs (on the back panel) where there they can be processed with EQ or other outboard effects. 134 E-MU Systems Global Menu Defining Global Parameters OUTPUT SECTION & EFFECTS PROCESSORS MIDI Channel 1A MIDI Channel 2A MIDI Channel 3A Preset Preset S E N D FX Sends Send 1 15% Send 2 10% Send 3 0% Send 4 0% Hall 1 Effect A BA MIDI Channel 16A 1 FX Sends Send 1 0% Send 2 0% Chorus M A I N MIDI CHANNEL S E Send 3 20% Send 4 15% Effect B Jack Detect MIDI Channel 1B MIDI Channel 2B MIDI Channel 3B N D 2 S E N D Jack Detect S U B 1 3 S U B 2 MIDI Channel 16B S E N D MIDI CHANNEL 4 Sends 2 and 3 can be routed to the effects processors or to rear panel submix jacks. When a plug is inserted into a Submix jack, the dry portion of the Send is disconnected from the effects processor and is routed directly to the Submix output jacks. MP-7 Operation Manual 135 Global Menu Master Effects Master Effects The digital effect processors can be programmed as part of the preset (using the Preset Edit menu) so that effects will change along with the preset. However, there are only two effect processors, and so you cannot have a different effect on each preset when in Multi mode. The Master Effects settings assign the effect processors "globally" for all presets to provide a way to use the effects in Multi mode. Detailed information is presented in the Effects chapter (see Effects on page 255). Effects Mode The FX Mode page enables or bypasses the effects. When the FX Mode is set to "bypass, " the effects are turned off on a global scale. This includes Effects programmed in the preset. FX MODE enabled Effects Multi Mode Control The routing scheme for the two stereo effects processors provides a lot of versatility. When in multi mode, you can "use master settings" which applies the Master effects settings to all 32 MIDI channels. FX MULTIMODE CONTROL use master settings If you want more control, you can use the "channel" setting which applies the effects settings of the preset on a specified channel to all the other channels. Changing the preset on the specified channel changes the effect. FX MULTIMODE CONTROL preset on channel 1 If you are in Omni or Poly modes this parameter is disabled and the message in parentheses explains that MP-7 is currently in Omni mode.
