The Effect Supermaster
All effect output levels are mastered by the Effect Supermaster if one is assigned. Moving the Effect
Supermaster to 0 stops any effects from contributing to the output. Moving it to 10 puts the full effect
levels onto the output. The Effect Supermaster is normally one of the last 6 submasters. You can
change it to another fader or eliminate it altogether by changing the Function properties of the
submaster faders involved. If there is no Effect Supermaster, its level is set to 100%.
