Switching between buses for sending sound
You can select the bus to which the audio from a sample or external input is sent.
On the P-6, you can control the volume for each bus, separating the audio sources into different groups used for controlling the volume.
Effects are not applied to the audio sources sent to BUS A and BUS B, so you can separately configure which audio sources use effects and which do not.
MEMO
- A “bus” means a signal path inside this unit that’s used for sending audio.
The P-6 has three signal paths, BUS A, BUS B and BUS EFFECT.
Audio signals sent to the same bus are mixed and then output. - You can change the volumes for BUS A, BUS B and BUS EFFECT.
Refer to “Shortcuts that use the [SHIFT] button” for details. - The audio output destination for the sample pads [1]-[6] and the [GRANULAR] pad can also be edited from the Output Bus Select parameter in SAMPLE EDIT (MIXER).
- Use the operations shown in the table below to control the output destinations for each audio source.
MEMO
The operation description “[MFX] button + [GRANULAR] pad” means “press the [GRANULAR] pad while pressing the [MFX] button”.
Sound generator | Audio output destination | |
|---|---|---|
BUS A / BUS EFFECT (*1, *3) | BUS B / BUS EFFECT (*2, *3) | |
Sample pads [1]–[6] | [MFX] button + sample pads [1]–[6] | [MFX] button + [DELAY] button + sample pads [1]–[6] |
[GRANULAR] pad | [MFX] button + [GRANULAR] pad | [MFX] button + [DELAY] button + [GRANULAR] pad |
Audio inputted to the MIX (IN/OUT) jack | [MFX] button + [LO-Fi] button | [MFX] button + [DELAY] button + [LO-Fi] button |
Audio inputted to the USB port | [MFX] button + [GATE] button | [MFX] button + [DELAY] button + [GATE] button |
- Either “BUS.A” or “EFX” is shown with each operation.
When “BUS.A” is shown, the audio source is sent to BUS A (no effects are applied).
At this time, the buttons corresponding to the audio source sent to BUS A (including the sample pads [1]–[6], the [GRANULAR] pad and the [LO-Fi] and [GATE] buttons) light up dimly. - Either “BUS.B” or “EFX” is shown with each operation.
When “BUS.B” is shown, the audio source is sent to BUS B (no effects are applied).
At this time, the buttons corresponding to the audio source sent to BUS B (including the sample pads [1]–[6], the [GRANULAR] pad and the [LO-Fi] and [GATE] buttons) blink dimly. - When “EFX” is shown, the audio source is sent to BUS EFFECT (effects can be applied).
At this time, the buttons corresponding to the audio source sent to BUS EFFECT (including the sample pads [1]–[6], the [GRANULAR] pad and the [LO-Fi] and [GATE] buttons) light up.
