I had this idea from
another thread..
If you'd like to process the MD through an external FX unit, you can set up the MD to act as one, processing itself. The advantage compared to using CTRL machines is that the following technique will be independent of locks (and the pops and clicks they might cause), filter offsets etc. It will also enable you to
process the MD master outputs with track effects like envelope follower, filters, distortion, SRR, gating/volume/panning etc, but also experimental stuff like feedback.
Here's how to do it:
1. Set up two tracks with INP machines, pan one hard left and the other hard right.
2. In the global menu, route these tracks to outputs C and D respectively.
3. Grab two jack-jack patch cables and route the L and R main outputs of the MD into input A and B respectively.
4. Use out C and D as your main outputs to your mixer.
5. Set up a CTRL-8P machine to control several of the INP machines' parameters from one machine.
6. Activate the two input machines, adjust volume and go..
NOTE! Routing these INP machines to delay or reverb will cause feedback. Tweak to taste
