NOTES ON USING THE FX

To maximize CPU performance, it’s recommended to bypass any Part FX Units which can be shared by other parts (especially reverbs & delays). A good approach is to copy a Part FX Unit’s settings, Bypass it and then paste the settings into a free Aux rack for shared use by the multi-timbral Parts. In other words, the signal from multiple Parts can be sent to one FX unit. Think of a hardware recording console, where the signal from multiple channels is sent through one hardware reverb.
