Using a SEL key to access Short FX Return Parameters
The iLive ‘RackExtra’ DSP module provides a virtual rack to load up to
8 effects devices such as reverbs, delays and modulators. An FX
‘short return’ is a stereo input channel that returns the output of the
device to the mix. In addition to the parameters available within the
FX screen, a 4-band PEQ is provided on each. These returns add to
the channel count. You get 64 full channels plus 8 short stereo
returns, the equivalent of using an 80 channel analogue console.
PARAMETER CONTROLS - Press an IP FX channel SEL key
to access its PEQ settings using the analogue style controls in the
processing block to the left of the screen, and its processing
parameters and routing using the screen view.
PROCESING VIEW - With all TouchScreen keys off. Touch
the Front Panel button to display the parameter settings view, as if
you are working with a traditional rack mounted effects unit. Touch
the value boxes or controls to highlight them and use the screen
encoder to adjust the settings. Touch the Back Panel button to
display a ‘virtual’ view of the rear connectors. Use the drop down
menus to use the device in a Mix/Return loop (system effect such as
reverb) or inserted into a channel. You can feed a system effect from
a mono or stereo mix bus or direct output, and return it via a short
return or full channel. The screen also displays the send/return levels,
mutes and PAFL, and provides access to a library to recall factory
presets or store your own settings.
ROUTING VIEW - With TouchScreen ROUTING page on, the
assignments and send levels for the selected device are shown. This
gives you an alternative for controlling the FX mix using the screen
instead of the Surface MIX keys.
