So many levels to this box and I’m not talking depth of programming. Though lots of levels there too. Just working my way with experimentation. What I’ve found: the compressor is an integral part of the delay and reverb mix. It makes it shine for percussion but not sure if I’ll figure out using the effects of full mix samples. Hopefully with time and some help. Any tips or findings with regards to levels through out the signal chain?
