Dual Input (Split mode)
The Dual Input mode is a Dual Mono
In/Stereo Out routing. Left In is always
attached to ENGINE 1 and Right In is
attached to ENGINE 2. Using this
routing enables you to get two different effects with separated
Inputs; e.g. connect Aux 1 from your Mixer to Left In and Aux 2
to Right In. You now have access to two separate effects with a
common stereo Output. Set the individual preset Output volumes
to achieve the correct balance of the effects.
Preset Glide
When the Preset Glide Routing is
selected, the M3000 will perform preset
changes by crossfading the current effect
and the new preset. This gives you a very smooth change of
effects, e.g. allowing a Delay to keep repeating while a Chorus is
being faded in.
The Glide time is located in the Utility menu (see UTIL/MIDI).
Note: Only one Engine is available while the M3000 is in the
Preset Glide Mode.

ROUTING & STUDIO SETUP EXAMPLES
Use two sends on your mixing console
Dual Input mode
Recall two different effects. Try recalling a gated reverb for, let’s say a snaredrum, in Engine 1
and a nice long hall type reverb for vocals in Engine 2. Using two different sends on your mix-
ing console, you can now use the M3000 as two effect units sharing the same output.
And - not to forget - you are saving a set of return channels.
Create your own Vocal Reverb
Serial mode
You probably always wanted to have a long bright reverb on your lead vocal without “esses«
hanging for seconds. You can do this with the M3000. You simply connect a
“De-esser” and your favorite reverb in serial. The De-esser will cut away all sharp transients
in the signal.
If you want your vocal to have a unique “live feel”, or the reverberated signal to be slightly
detuned, simply connect the Pitch Shifter or Chorus in series with the reverb.
There are numerous applications in this mode - try them out.
Two individual inserts on your mixing console
Dual Mono mode
In the Dual Mono mode you are able to use two completely separate mono effects at the
same time. It can be Equalizers, Compressors, a De-esser or whatever you can imagine.
