Effects
The room and the motion
How a program's effects are built: the insert chain and the aux sends, a layer's own effects, reverbs, delays, chorus, flanger and phaser, tremolo and auto-pan, EQ, enhancer and compressor, the factory's chains, and editing a chain.
A program's sound goes through its insert chain, a row of effects, and two sends feed the aux chains, most often a reverb. Each effect has a shape you can see: a reverb's decay, a delay's echoes, a chorus's motion, a compressor's curve.
Nine lessons: insert and aux, a layer's own effects, reverbs, delays, chorus, flanger and phaser, tremolo and auto-pan, EQ, enhancer and compressor, the factory's chains, and editing a chain in the Chain Editor. Each plays a factory program's own effects on a phrase you choose.
From the routing to the Chain Editor.
Each lesson plays effects from the factory programs, with the values their own controllers give them: see the effect, move its values, and hear it.
A program's sound goes through its insert chain, effects in series that each mix their own wet and dry, and on to the output.
