If an insert effect is not selected, the FX display will read "No Insert". Most effects have a wet/dry mix parameter to control the ratio of effect-to-plain signal. Generally if an effect is placed in an Aux Send, the wet/dry mix in the effect should be set to 100% wet since the Aux Return amount controls how much effect is applied. The User Preset section is located at the bottom of the FX Edit screen. User presets are variations of the main effect and can be edited, deleted, renamed or overwritten as you wish.

S/PDIF carries an embedded word clock which can be used to synchronize the digital equipment. You must enable "External Clock" on the slave device to have clock sync! [. . . ]
