11. MIX
When MIX is turned on, the effect is sent to the MASTER bus. When it’s off, it’s
not. To add the effect to a mix, make sure MIX is turned on.
12. FADER
The FADER parameter’s value sets the output level of the effect. The FX return
channel’s physical fader and this parameter serve the same purpose, and
changing the setting for one changes the setting for both.
13. AUX Send Controls
Each FX return channel has a set of eight Aux send controls with which you can send
the effect to any Aux bus or pair of linked Aux busses.
You can use these controls to send the effect to:
• headphone mixes— You can send the effect to an Aux bus routed to an output that’s
connected to a performer’s headphone amplifier input. This procedure is described
in detail in “Adding Effects to a Headphone Mix” on Page 234.
• another effect —You can create a chain of effects in the VS-2480 by sending one
effect’s output to an Aux bus routed into another effect’s input. If you want, you can
repeat the process by sending the second effect to a third and so on.
• external devices —Send the effect to Aux busses routed to outputs connected to an
external device.
The Aux send controls provide the following parameters:
• Send Status —turns the Aux send to the Aux bus on or off.
You can select:
•
OFF —so that the effect isn’t sent to the Aux bus.
• Pre or Pst (depending on the Aux bus’s current configuration) —to turn on the send to
the Aux bus from the channel. See below for more details.
The Send Level parameter sets the amount of the channel’s signal to be sent to the Aux
bus. The range is from -
∞ to 6 dB.
Listen to an effect as you record a track—without recording the effect—by sending the
track channel’s signal to the effect, setting MIX to On and making sure the effect isn’t
routed to the track (Page 231). You’ll hear the effect in the MASTER mix as you record.
Though the VS-2480 doesn’t prevent you from doing so, sending an effect’s output to
the Aux bus routed to its input can produce unpredictable results.
You can also set the effect’s send level using the PAN/AUX SEND 1-8 knobs—see
“Activating Knob or Fader Control of Aux Send Levels” on Page 141.
Each Aux bus can receive signals pre- or post-fader, and can be linked to its odd/even
partner. When you select an Aux send control’s send status parameter, ENTER/YES
flashes—press ENTER/YES to configure the Aux bus as described on Page 207.
