Disclaimer - FX Returns

The individual Digitone tracks stems are recorded without the shared chorus, delay and reverb effects. The template includes two labelled channels for choosing between the complete stereo mix and an FX-only return each one needing a separate recording pass.

Full stereo mix:

On the Digitone, open Settings → Audio Routing → Route to Main and enable T1–T4, Chorus, Delay and Reverb.

FX-only return:

Under Route to Main, disable T1–T4 while leaving Chorus, Delay and Reverb enabled. Keep the required tracks enabled under Send to FX.
