65. PRESET SELECTOR, TAP DELAY and LED
Rotate these endless controls to select one of the 24
preset effects. When the rotation stops, that preset will
be loaded and become operational. The current preset
number is shown in the display [64]. The different
presets are shown in the table below and on the
silkscreen in the upper right hand corner of the
VLZ3 4•Bus mixer. Further details of each preset are
explained in Appendix E on page 37.

The knob also offers a tap delay function for presets
17-24. This works as follows:
1. Use the knob to select a preset from 17 to 24.
2. Press the knob in at least two times.
The DSP processor will calculate the time delay
between the last two pushes, and it will assign
this time interval to the echoes of the current
digital delay.
The minimum tap delay is 50 ms and the
maximum is 500 ms.
• If your taps are faster than 50 ms, they will
be set to 50 ms.
• If taps are 500 ms to 1 second, they will be
set to 500 ms.
• If taps are greater than 1 second apart,
they will be ignored. Try again a bit faster.
3. The LED will flash in time with the new tap
delay time.
66. INTERNAL FX MUTE
When engaged, the internal effects processor is
muted, and its output will not appear on the main mix,
monitor mix...or anywhere for that matter. The adjacent
mute LED will come on as a reminder that the effects
are muted. When power is first applied, these LEDs will
illuminate and the FX will be muted for about 10
seconds while the little FX gerbils inside settle down.
If this switch is not engaged, then the internal effects
are set free and may be added as required to the main
mix, monitor mix and last two stereo channels.
67. SOLO LEVEL
This knob is used to adjust the volume of the soloed
signal as it is routed to the monitor [15, 16] and phones
[17] outputs. This control is independent of, and prior
to, the monitor [68] and phones [69] level controls.
