3. Applying master effects to several tracks
Here we will select several tracks, and apply master effects to them.
The D1200 contains two master effects. By combining two different ef-
fects you can simulate complex spatial environments that could not be
produced by a single effect alone.
For example you could apply “RV1:ReverbHall” to master effect 1 and
“RV5:ReverbRoom” to master effect 2, so that you can vary the character
of the reverb applied to each instrument by adjusting the two send levels
on each channel.
In this way, you can use two different effects in conjunction with each
other to create complex spatial-type effects that could not be achieved by
a single effect.
1 Press the [MASTER EFFECT/AUX SEND] key to access the [MAS-
TER EFFECT/AUX SEND] “MstEff1” tab page.
2 Select an effect program.
Select “EffectNumber,” and turn the [VALUE] dial to select an effect
program.
3 Set the return level and return balance of the signal that is sent from
the master effect to master LR.
For this example, set “RetLev” (return level) to “100,” and “RetBal”
(return balance) to “CNT” (center).
4 Adjust the send levels.
The send levels from each channel to master effect 1 can be adjusted
in the “EffSnd1” tab page.
Select each “Send” icon knob, and turn the [VALUE] dial to adjust
the send levels.
In this example, we will apply master effect 1 to tracks 1, 2, and 9/10.
5 Press the [PLAY] key to start playback.
While the song plays, listen to the master LR output and hear the
effects that are applied.
Adjust the return level and the send levels so that the master effect
level meters do not indicate “CLP.”
To apply master effect 2, make similar adjustments in the “MstEff2”
and “EffSnd2” tab pages.
