Hi,

So I just got my 2nd mandala for my kit but I seem to be having
trouble setting them up.
If one of the mandalas has any effects going to it, they will transfer
through to the other mandala...

As you can imagine this is annoying if I'm trying to have one pad run
keyboards w/ reverb or whatnot and the other pad with just regular
percussion.

What am I not doing? It's probably just a simple step so I appreciate
any help.
Thanks!!

the reverb is a 'master effect' (printed on the front of it) which
means it's the only one that will operate on your main stereo mix
outputs if you have it activated no matter if anything is sent to it
or not.  that's why you hear it on both pads.  it's the only one like
that though.  all the others are dependent on exactly how much of any
zone you are sending to it from any pad.

you can probably work up a cool independent reverb using one of the
many filters in one of the racks.  then you can use one effects rack
for one of your pads and the other for another one of your pads and
keep them separate that way if you want.  it's like being in a
studio.  think of those effects as real boxes.  otherwise there would
potentially be 10 virtual racks of all that equipment and the
processor would come to a screeching halt.  a lot of different effects
scenarios are possible by being aware of each zones' effects send
level knob and which effects rack it's sent to.  each zone of each pad
also has an automatable set of control effects independent of the 2
racks, such as pitch, pan, volume, hold, decay. etc.
