kevinlegault Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 How do I bypass the FX settings for each patch? Connecting my drum machine through the Aux In causes my drum machine to also pick up all effects for that setting. I have gone through the settings and switched my second input to Aux an set the system to global, but my Aux In is still effected. Thanks for reading.

phil_m Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 If you want to use the Aux In, you'd have to have both tone paths separated in your patch as well as having the inputs set up correctly. It may be easier to just use the MP3 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Or if you want a more "rugged" option, add an FX Loop as the last effect and plug the Drum machine 1/4" outs into the FL Loop return, then set the FX Loop Mix to 50%. I do this a lot with a Keyboard to avoid dragging around a separate mixer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If you just want to practice with the drum machine using one of the analog outputs (either headphones, XLR, or 1/4") then plug your drum machine into the CD/MP3 input. It won't come out the SPDIF or USB and it's completely isolated and unprocessed by all the patches and FX blocks. Then you don't have to go mucking around the signal paths you've painstakingly setup. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great answer IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinlegault Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thank you so much for your quick responses. I have decided for now to run it through the CD/MP3 input...quick and easy. I may experiment with the addition of an FX Loop, but does that mean I would have to set it for every patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yes you do have to set it for every patch, and it takes up an effects slot - it is the option to use if you want the drum machine (or any other electronic instrument like a synth) to be mixed when on stage, but for home practice the mp3 input will do fine.

Leftzilla Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I run a Roland S-500 sampling pads into the MP3 input on my HD500X and control the volume from the S-500 directly to balance out between the guitar and sampling pads. This is very easy and works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
