An overview of the M50’s effects
You can choose from 170 different types of high-quality
digital effects. The M50 provides five insert effects, two
master effects, and one total effect, together with a
mixer section that controls the routing of these effects.
All of these are stereo in/out.

All of these are stereo in/out.
Specific parameters of these effects can also be
controlled in real time from the M50’s controllers or via
MIDI messages using Dynamic Modulation (Dmod),
by MIDI/Tempo Sync, or by using a common LFO to
apply synchronized changes to multiple modulation
effects.

Effect I/O
Insert Effects
Insert Effects (IFX 1–5) are stereo-in/stereo-out. If you
select Dry (unprocessed) for the Wet/Dry parameter,
the stereo input signal will be output in stereo without
being processed by the effect. If you select Wet (effect
applied), the processed signal will be output in one of
the following ways:

With Master effects, only the Wet (processed) signal
will be output. The output signals from the Master
Effects are routed to the L/R bus with the output level
specified by Return1 and Return2. These output
signals are mixed with the output signals from the bus
specified by Bus (IFX/Output) Select (P8– Routing
page in each mode) L/R, or with the output signals
from the bus specified by Bus (IFX/Output) Select (P8–

Total Effect
The total effect (TFX) is stereo-in/stereo-out. The Dry
(unprocessed) side of the Wet/Dry parameter sends the
stereo input sound directly to the stereo output. The
way in which the Wet (processed) side is output
depends on the type of effect, as follows.
