Flashing
Highlight the “Lo Gain” field by using the [CURSOR ]
key, and edit the “Lo Gain” value using the [JOG] dial.
You can set the value between -18 dB and + 18 dB, as
same as the Hi Gain.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 to edit EQ on other tracks.
After completing the EQ setting, press the [EXIT/NO]
key.
The LCD returns to the Normal screen.
Setting effects
Press the [EFFECT] key.
The effect send level setting screen appears initially.
Each press of the [EFFECT] key switches between the
effect send level setting screen, effect type selection
screen and effect send pre/post selection screen.
Effect send level setting
While the effect send level setting screen is shown,
press the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key of the
desired track.
The effect knob icon of the selected track is highlighted,
showing that it can be edited. The default value for track
sends 1 through 6 is “0” while the default value for the
master is “80”.
Use the [JOG] dial to enter the send level.
While the send level changes, the corresponding icon
also changes in real time.
When the value increases, the effect sound of the cur-
rently selected effect type will be output.
To set the effect send levels for other tracks, carry out
step 2 and 3 above repeatedly.
Effect type setting
The VF80 provides 38 effect types (L01 through L38) used
for the loop effect and 6 effect types (L39 through L44) used
for the insert effect.
Bring up the effect type setting screen and select the
desired effect type by rotating the [JOG] dial.
While rotating the [JOG] dial, the effect type appears
one after the other among 38 types (L01 ~ L38).
After selecting the desired effect type, press the [EN-
TER/YES] key.
The selected effect type is set.
Press the [EFFECT] key to bring up the effect send level
setting screen.
Adjust the effect send levels as described above.
<Pre/post setting of effect sends>
All the effect sends from tracks 1 through 6 are
initially set to “post-fader”. Therefore, when a track
fader is completely down, no signal is sent even if
you raise the effect send level of the track.
You can also select “pre-fader” if necessary.
See “Mixer functions” for details.
<Parameter setting for each effect type>
You can set parameters for the selected effect type.
See “Mixer functions” for details about parameter
setting.
<On/Off setting of the effect>
You can switch on or off the effect alternately by
pressing the [EFFECT/
ON/OFF] key while holding
down the [SHIFT] key.
See “Mixer functions” for details.

There are two methods for using the internal effect
processor of the VF80: “loop effect” and “insert effect”.
The following describes how to set the send level and
select an effect type of the loop effect.
See “Mixer Function” for details about the loop effect,
such as how to make pre/post setting of an effect send
or how to set effect parameters.
See also “Advanced Operations” on page 83 for details
about the insert effect.

<Note>
If you select an effect type used for the insert effect
(i.e. any one of L39 through L44), the screens for
effect type selection and effect send pre/post selec-
tion are not shown.
