Adjusting Effects Levels
Although we may not want to get started editing Programs just yet (thatÕs left for
Chapter 4), it is usually necessary to have immediate control over the output levels
of each Effect Block, as well as the amount of direct level going from the inputs to
the outputs. These are found within Mix mode.
To adjust a ProgramÕs effect levels:
➀ Press the [MIX] button.
The [MIX] buttonÕs LED will light.
➁ Use the [< BLOCK >] buttons to select any of the active Blocks in the display.
If the selected Block is routed to the L/R Outputs, the display will read:
LEVEL TO L/R:RVB= 1 00%
The letters RVB in the display example above indicate the selected Block is of
the Reverberation type. Other types are: EQ for Equalization, PCH for Pitch
and DLY for Delay.
➂ Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to adjust the BlockÕs Level to the L/R Outputs,
from 0Ð100%.
If the selected Block is not routed to the L/R Outputs, this setting will be
ÒNONEÓ and you will not be able to adjust the value.
➃ Press [PAGE >] to advance to Mix Page 2 and adjust the Direct Level from Input.
The display will read:
DIRECT LEVEL FROM INPUT: 1 00%
➄ Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to adjust how much of the dry (uneffected)
signal you wish to hear at the Q20Õs outputs, from 0Ð100%.
If the L/R Inputs are
not
routed to the L/R Outputs, this setting will be
ÒNONEÓ and you will not be able to adjust the value since there is no direct
signal.
If the Global Direct Signal Mute function is turned on, the Direct Level From Input
parameter will have no audible effect, although its setting is remembered when
you store the Program.
➅ Press [PAGE >] to advance to Mix Page 3 and adjust the Master Effects Level.
MASTER EFFECTS LEVEL: 1 00%
➆ Use the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to adjust the Master Effects Level to the L/R
Outputs, from 0Ð100%.
This parameter comes between the combined Effect BlocksÕ outputs and the
Q20Õs outputs, and controls the output levels of all active Blocks that are routed
to the L/R Outputs simultaneously. However, it does not change the individual
output levels of Effect Blocks that are routed internally (i.e. to other Blocks).
