Using an internal effect via a MIX bus
This section explains how to use an internal effect via a
MIX bus. As an example, we will choose effect 1 for our
operations, assign MIX bus 1 to the effect input, and assign
the effect output to FX RTN channels 1/2.
1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly
press the INPUT [PAN/ROUTING] key to access
the CH to MIX screen.
2 Make sure that the MIX bus 1 type selection
box indicates “VARI.”
If the box indicates “FIXED,” click the / buttons
at left and right to change the indication to “VARI”;
then press the [ENTER] key (or click inside the box) to
finalize the change.
This box selects the operation of the MIX bus (VARI or
FIXED). If VARI is selected, the bus send levels will be
adjustable.
Hint
The VARI/FIXED selection is made for two adjacent odd-num-
bered/even-numbered MIX buses. If the effect input is stereo,
it is convenient to pair these two MIX buses.
3 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly
press the [EFFECT] key to access the EFFECT
PARAM screen.
4 Make sure that the box in the upper left of the
screen indicates EFFECT 1.
This box lets you select the effect module that you want
to control. If a different effect module is selected, click
the / buttons at left and right to select EFFECT 1.
Hint
You can access the EFFECT ASSIGN screen (EFFECT func-
tion) to see all eight effect modules at once while you assign
signal routes to the effect inputs and outputs, or operate
Bypass and Cue (
➥ p.168).
5 In the INPUT area, click the / buttons at
the left and right of the L CH box to select
MIX 1 (MIX channel 1); then press the [ENTER]
key (or click within the box).
This assigns the output of MIX channel 1 to the L input
of the effect.
If a signal route is already assigned, a window will
appear when you press the [ENTER] key, asking you to
confirm the assignment. Click the OK button to con-
firm the assignment.
If you want to use the effect input in stereo, assign MIX
channel 2 to the R CH box in the same way.
6 In the OUTPUT area, make sure that the L CH
box indicates FX RTN1L and the R CH box indi-
cates FX RTN1R.
The L CH/R CH boxes in the OUTPUT area select the
input channels that are assigned to the L/R outputs of
the effect.
By default, the L/R outputs of effect 1 are assigned to
FX RTN channel 1 (L/R). If different channels are
selected, use the / buttons at the left and right of
the boxes to select FX RTN1L and FX RTN1R
respectively.
7 Set the MIX BALANCE knob to about 100.
The MIX BALANCE knob adjusts the balance between
the original sound and effect sound included in the
output signal from the effect. If this knob is at the 100
(%) position, only the effect sound will be output.
8 In the ENCODER MODE section, press the MIX
SEND SELECT [1] key to make the encoder
mode indicator show “1”.
In this state you can use the input channel encoders to
adjust the send level from each channel to MIX bus 1.
9 Turn the encoders of the INPUT channel strip
and ST IN channel strip to adjust the send
level of the signal sent from each channel to
MIX bus 1.
Don’t raise the encoder of the FX RTN channel you are using
as the effect return. Doing so will send the output of the effect
back to the input, possibly causing oscillation.
Hint
• The send position of the signals sent from input channels to
the MIX bus can be specified for each channel ( ➥ p.51).
• As an alternate way to adjust the send level, you can turn on
the [MIX SEND] key of the MIX section, then use a [SEL]
key to select an input channel and turn the corresponding
MIX encoder (
➥ p.51).
