But can you only use four effects units at a time?

Nope! It’s actually possible to have a huge number of simultaneous FX Units active at the same time in one instance of Trilian. Any of the FX Units can be put into one of the four slots in an Trilian FX Rack -and up to 29 FX Racks can be open at once!

Here's the structure:

4 Effects per rack x 3 racks per part = 12 Effects/Part

12 Effects per Part x 8 Parts = 96 FX

4 Effects per rack x 4 Aux racks + Master rack = 20 Effects per MULTI

-------------------------

= 116 maximum simultaneous FX Units (if your computer can handle it!)
