Chapter 11—Common Channel Functions
INSERT IN: This selects the source for the Insert In, which can be an AD Input, Slot Input,
2TR Digital or Analog Input, or the output of an internal effects processor. See page 241 for
a list of Input Channel Insert In sources; page 245 for a list of Output Channel Insert In
sources. The Port ID of the currently selected source is displayed below the currently
selected channel's Long name in the upper-right corner of the page. The source port can
also be selected by using the Patch Select window (see page 71), which is accessed by press-
ing [ENTER] while this parameter is selected. Insert Ins can also be patched on the Input
Channel Insert In Patch pages. See "Patching Input Channel Insert Ins" on page 67 for more
information.
COMP ON/OFF: This turns the currently selected channel's Compressor on and off. It
works in unison with the SELECTED CHANNEL DYNAMICS [COMP ON] button, and
the ON/OFF button on the Comp Edit page. See "Compressing Channels" on page 116 for
more information.
COMP ORDER: If the Insert and Compressor are set to the same position in the channel
(i.e., INSERT POSITION and COMP POSITION are the same), you can use this parameter
to set the order of the Insert and Compressor to either Comp->Ins or Ins->Comp.
When a Y56K card effect, or an internal effects processor is inserted in the currently selected
channel, when the EFFECTS/PLUG-INS [CHANNEL INSERTS] button is pressed, the cor-
responding EFFECTS/PLUG-INS [1–4] button indicator flashes, and the corresponding
Effects, or Plug-In edit page appears. If it's a Y56K card that's inserted, the [PLUG-INS] but-
ton indicator also flashes. If it's an internal effects processor, the [INTERNAL EFFECTS]
button indicator also flashes. This applies only to effects that are inserted into channels. If
there's nothing inserted in the currently selected channel, a message appears.

ries. See "Comp Library" on page 149 for more information.
