EFFECTS IN MIX MODE
Effects, both Digital and Analog Distortion, are stored per Mix, and can be copied
from Programs or other Mixes. Note that while each individual Program has its own
Effects parameters in Program Mode, these aren’t brought into the Mix since there
aren’t 16 separate Digital Effects and Analog Distortion sections. However, you can
vary the Effect Send and Pan levels from each Mix Channel.
Effects are selected and created in a Mix in the same manner as in Program, by using
the Effects buttons and pages (see Chapter 10).
TO SET EFFECT SEND LEVELS FOR DIFFERENT MIX CHANNELS:
1. Select different Channels using the MIX SELECT and SHIFT keys.
2. Press the
ANALOG DISTORTION CONFIG OR DIGITAL EFFECTS CONFIG buttons on the
top panel.
3. Notice that soft knob
1’s parameter title is SEND X, where X is the number of the
current Mix Channel. If the Digital Effect has a
PAN control, it will also show the
number of the Channel.
4. Use the soft knobs to get the values you want. Note that any other changes you
make besides
SEND and PAN will be to the effect for the entire Mix, not just the
current Channel.
TO COPY AN EFFECT FROM ANOTHER PROGRAM OR MIX:
A Digital Effects and/or Analog Distortion configuration may be copied from any
Program or Mix in memory. These are copied to the Mix Edit Buffer, so you can
customize them before storing them along with the current Mix.
1. Start with the Mix you’re editing (of course). Press
STORE.
2. Press
COPY (soft button 3).
3. Select the type of effect you want to copy to the current mix using
TYPE (soft
knob 1):
PRG DFX to copy a Digital Effect from a Program.
PRG AFX to copy an Analog Distortion from a Program.
MIX DFX to copy a Digital Effect from a Mix.
MIX AFX to copy an Analog Distortion from a Mix.
4. Select the specific Program or Mix you want to copy from using the
SRCBNK and
SRCNUM knobs (soft knobs 2 and 3).
The name of the Program or Mix will be shown on the screen.
5. The display should show
MIX EDIT BUFFER. If not, turn soft knob 6 (DSTBUF)
until it does.
6. Press soft button 3 (
COPY).
A window will pop up asking you to press STORE to copy the effect.
7. Press
STORE.
Remember—even though you pressed
STORE, the effect is only in the Mix Edit Buffer
until you store the Mix itself to either the User Bank or a Card.
