Using EFFECT 2 as a single stereo effect processor in the AUX effect loop
This allows the effect processor to be used in the sec-
ond effects loop (
AUX ). If it is used in this way, this
allows the AUX INPUT connectors to be used for
(say) the stereo signal from an analog sub-mixer at
mixdown time.
1 Press and hold down the EFFECT 2 key. The
indicator flashes, along with the indicators of
any current assignments.
2 While holding down the EFFECT 2 key, press
the SEND key.
NOTE
You can reverse this order (press and hold the SEND key,
and then press the EFFECT 2 key).
You can remove the effects unit from the effects loop by
repeating the process so that the indicator does not flash
when the SEND key is pressed.
The effect send may be set to either pre- or post-fader on a
channel-by-channel basis, as explained in “Pre- and post-
fader sends explained” on page 84.
While the effects unit is selected as the effects unit in the
Aux loop, the AUX INPUTs and AUX OUTPUTs are still
active. The level of the mixed signal from the AUX
OUTPUTs is controlled with the channel and master Aux
sends (see “Send levels, etc.” on page 83).
Send levels, etc.
The two effects loops (Effect and Aux) are both ste-
reo sends.
The levels from each channel to these sends, and the
pan between the two inputs of these stereo sends, can
be set, as well as the master send level.
In addition, these two sends can be individually
selected as off, or as pre- or post-fader on a per-chan-
nel basis (see “Pre- and post-fader sends explained”
on page 84 below).
Stereo linked channels and channels 7 and 8 cannot
have levels set independently for each channel. One
control affects the send levels for both channels. In
addition, the send pan controls change to a stereo pan
control for both channels.
1 Press the SEND key. The display screen shows
the channel send screen.
2 Press the SELECT key of the mixer channel
whose send levels are to be adjusted.
3 Use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the
value you want to change, and use the
DATA
dial to change the values of the channel send
levels (
LVL ), the pan position of the channel
in the send ( PAN ), and the master send levels
( MSTR ).
4 As also explained below (“Changing between
pre-fader and post-fader settings” on page 84),
the
TIP
Level settings are from 0 through 127 , and pan settings
are from L63 (full left) through C (center) to R63 (full
right).
NOTE
When two channels are linked, the send levels are identi-
cal, taken from the odd-numbered channel’s values before
linking, as is the pre/post/off setting. The pan controls
change to a centered mono pan.
When two channels are unlinked, the stereo pan control
changes back to mono pan controls, which are panned
hard left (odd-numbered channels) and hard right (even-
numbered channels). The send levels and pre/post/off set-
tings are taken from the pair, and remain unchanged.
