**Follow these steps to set up the Aux Bus to send signals to an external effects processor:**
1) Connect audio cables from the Interface's Out 1 and 2 jacks to the external effects processor's inputs.
2) Select an Aux Bus to use. (Aux Bus #1 is used for the example.)
3) In the Mixer Window, set the Aux Bus 1 mode switch to Stereo by pushing the mono/stereo button. (It is found below the word "MONO". The default setting for this Aux Bus is mono; pressing the button lights the button's LED and changes the operating mode for the Aux Bus to stereo.)
4) In the Patch Bay Window, drag the Interface, Sub-Mixer and Mixer FX objects onto the Patch Bay desktop.
5) Clear the patch cables that connect the Sub-Mixer L/R main outputs to the Interface's #1 and #2 outputs. (Click on the cable to highlight it; then, use the Clear Patches command in the Edit menu.)
6) Connect a Patch Bay cable from the Mixer FX Send 1L to the Interface's Out number 1.
7) Connect another Patch Bay cable from the Mixer FX Send 1R to the Interface's Out 2.

**To return the processed audio from the external effects device to the Mixer:**
1) Connect audio cables from the external effects processor's L/R audio outputs to the Interface's Input 1 and 2 jacks.
2) In the Patch Bay Window, clear the patch cables that connect the Interface's Inputs 1 and 2 to the Sub-Mixer #1 object. (Click on the cable to highlight it; then, use the Clear Patches command in the Edit menu.)
3) Connect a Patch Bay cable from the Interface Input 1 to FX Return 1L in the Mixer FX object.
4) Connect another Patch Bay cable from the Interface Input 2 to FX Return 1R in the Mixer FX object.

**To process a Mixer channel using the external device:**
1) In the Mixer Window, enable the Aux Send 1 button for any channel that you want to send to the external effects processor's input.
2) You can then change the send level for each of the active channels individually by using the Amount knob in the Aux Send. (The default value is "0dB".)
3) The return level for the external effects processor is controlled by Aux Return 1. The default level is 0dB. The level, pan and mute status for this return can be automated.

**Follow these steps to set up the Aux Bus to send signals to an external effects processor using an expanded MEC:**
1) Connect audio cables from the MEC A8oT-24 Out 1 and 2 jacks to the external effects processor's inputs.
2) Select an Aux Bus to use. (Aux Bus #1 is used for the example.)
3) In the Mixer Window, set the Aux Bus 1 mode switch to Stereo by pushing the mono/stereo button. (It is found below the word "MONO". The default setting for this Aux Bus is mono; pressing the button lights the button's LED and changes the operating mode for the Aux Bus to stereo.)
