Aux 1, Aux 2
The Aux effect is the effects chain that is applied to the selected auxiliary audio bus. When
the Aux 1 or Aux 2 field is selected, you can press the Edit button to edit the current Chain.

Auxiliary Send Parameters
The Auxiliary Send parameters determines the level of the program signal sent to the
auxiliary effects chain.
Aux Send
The Aux Send parameter determines the level of the program signal sent to the auxiliary
effects chain.
Pre/Post Insert
The Pre/Post Insert parameter determines the point at which the auxiliary effect is applied to
the signal. When this parameter is set to Post, the Forte SE applies the auxiliary effect to the
signal post-insert, i.e., after the insert effect has been applied. When this parameter is set to
Pre, the Forte SE applies the auxiliary effect to the signal pre-insert.
To hear a program put through two effects in series (i.e., through two cascaded effects),
choose your desired effects for the Insert and either Aux (for whatever Aux you choose,
the other should be set to 0 None), set each bus’ Output to Main, and set the Aux Send
parameter to either 0 dB or 100%. Then, set the Pre/Post Insert parameter to Post.
To hear a program put through two effects in parallel (i.e., through two distinct effects),
choose your desired effects for the Insert and either Aux (again, for whatever Aux you choose,
the other should be set to 0 None), set each bus’ Output to Main, and set the Aux Send
parameter to either 0 dB or 50%. Then, set the Pre/Post Insert parameter to Pre.
With respect to each other, the Auxes are always in parallel, that is, they cannot be cascaded.
Type
The Type parameter determines how the selected wet aux signal (i.e., with effects applied)
is mixed into the final signal. Additionally, it determines the units in which the Aux Send
parameter values are.
When Type is set to dB, the Aux Send parameter values are in units of decibels (dB). The
value specified in the Aux Send parameter is the amount of program signal sent to the aux
effects chain. To hear equal parts wet signal and dry signal (the signal with no effects applied)
on the main audio output, set the main Insert effect to 0 None and the Insert Output to
Main, and set the Aux 1 effect to your desired effect and the Aux 1 Output to Main. Then,
set the Aux1 Send to 0 dB. If you want only wet signal on the main audio output, set the
