Four-band Parametric EQ & EQ Library
Channels 1 through 16 feature a four-band parametric equalizer
(EQ), with variable Gain, Frequency, and Q controls.
The LO-MID and HI-MID bands use parametric EQ. The LO band can
function as an HPF, shelving, or parametric EQ; the HI band can func-
tion as an LPF, shelving, or parametric EQ.
An EQ Library can store up to 100 EQ programs for future recall.
Dual On-board Effects Processors
The VM200 features two on-board stereo effects processors, EFF1
and EFF2.
These effects processors utilize Fostex Advanced Signal Processing
Technology (ASP) to create high-quality ambient reverbs, as well as
choruses, delays, flangers, and other effects and combinations.
ASP is an exclusive new digital effect processing technology designed
by Fostex that excels at maximizing the efficiency of digital signal pro-
cessing power. It achieves an overwhelmingly high-density Early
Reflection sound and smooth High Dump response rate via a Har-
monic Feedback Algorithm, and conducts elaborate reverb simulation
using High Density Logarithmic Processing technology, which elimi-
nates mutual interference between integrated delay modules, reduc-
ing audio impurities.
Digital I/O
The VM200 features two types of digital inputs and outputs: S/P DIF
and ADAT.
The S/P DIF is a two-channel digital I/O commonly found on con-
sumer CD players, computer audio cards, etc.
The ADAT IN and ADAT OUT connectors allow a direct eight-channel
connection to any ADAT-compatible digital audio recorder, such as
the Fostex VR800 or the Alesis ADAT series.
About the Display and Graphic User Interface
The LCD display features a resolution of 256-by-64 dots and utilizes
graphic icons to represent faders, send levels, and rotary control
knobs.
The display also provides a graphic EQ response curve and numerical
readouts of mixer parameter settings.
Depending on the lighting in your studio, you may wish to supple-
ment the LCD Display with a gooseneck-type studio lamp or other
light source.
