Using the master effect
One master effect processor is built into the D4, and can be
applied to the tracks during playback, during “Master-
ing” 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.
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 final effect
One stereo final 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 final effect.
Press the FX [FINAL] 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. Lis-
ten to the playback to hear the result of the final 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 simul-
taneously and the order of their connection is referred to
as a “chain.” The D4 provides eleven chains that are suit-
able 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.
Selecting the effect type and chain
In order to edit an effect, you must first select an effect
type and a chain.
To select an effect type, press one of the four FX keys: [GUI-
TAR/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.
