Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip

The Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip (“Channel Strip” for short) is a multi-effect that combines compression and EQ. Advanced sound engineering know-how is condensed into a number of convenient presets that can be simply and instantly recalled, for professional results.
Six channel strips are provided, and each can be assigned to the monitor sound only, or to both the monitor and recorded sound.
The Channel Strip equipped with the device and the Channel Strip of the VST Plug-in version have the same parameters. When using the Channel Strip on Cubase series programs, you can share the settings between the built-in Channel Strip and the Channel Strip of the VST Plug-in version as a preset file.
Also, when assigning the Channel Strip of the VST Plug-in version to the effect slot on Cubase series programs, select it from the [Dynamics] category (in the case of the default settings).
For more information about the VST Plug-in version, refer to the “Basic FX Suite Operation Manual.”

Guitar Amp Classics Reference

Using the GAIN, MASTER, and OUTPUT Controls
The tonal character of the DRIVE and LEAD amp types can be adjusted over a wide range via the GAIN, MASTER, and OUTPUT controls.
GAIN adjusts the level of the signal applied to the preamp stage, affecting the amount of distortion produced. MASTER adjusts the output level from the preamp stage that is then fed to power amp stage. The GAIN and MASTER control settings have a large effect on the final sound, and the MASTER control may need to be turned up fairly high in order to drive the power stage sufficiently for optimum tone.The OUTPUT control adjusts the final output level from the amp model without affecting the distortion or tone, and is useful for adjusting the guitar’s volume without changing any other aspects of the sound.

REV-X

REV-X is a digital reverb platform developed by Yamaha for pro audio applications.
One REV-X effect is included in this unit. Input signals can be sent to the REV-X effect, and the REV-X effect is applied only to the monitor outputs. Three types of REV-X are available: Hall, Room, and Plate.
The hardware REV-X equipped with the device and REV-X of the VST Plug-in version have essentially the same parameters. However, the [OUTPUT] and [MIX] parameters are only available in the VST Plug-in version.When using REV-X on Cubase series programs, you can share the settings between the built-in REV-X and REV-X of the VST Plug-in version as a preset file. Also, when assigning REV-X of the VST Plug-in version to the effect slot on Cubase series programs, select it from the [Reverb] category (in the case of the default settings).
For more information about the VST Plug-in version, refer to the “Basic FX Suite Operation Manual.”
The built-in REV-X is equipped with an “FX Bus” that is used for sending the signal from DAW software to REV-X (UR44C/URX44C/UR816C only). To send the recorded audio data to REV-X, you can check the sound with REV-X, which is used for monitoring while recording.

Graph (Band Division Overview)

Sets the band division for each of the LOW/MID/HIGH bands and displays the level of each band in simplified form.
Use the (L) handle to set LOW GAIN, the (M) handle to set MID GAIN, and the (H) handle to set HIGH GAIN.
The L-M XOVER settings can be operated using the (L-M) handle and the M-H XOVER settings can be operated using the (M-H) handle.
