1-4 Vista 1 FX
• Single Two In Four Out
• Single Four In Four Out
Once the structures of the effects engines are defined, their inputs as well as
outputs are available in the genenral patch of the Vista 1 consoles GC.
To make working with Vista FX as easy and straightforward as possible, Vista
FX are intended to be used in two ways :
This is the effect structure that has been used in the analog world with tradi-
tional outboard effects - using an Aux bus to add signal from several channels,
and then feed it from the Aux to one single effect unit. To get the 'wet'-only
effect signal back into the mix, an input channel ("effect-return") has to be
used.
Since this is still a practical way of working, and because many operators are
very familiar with this concept, it is also used for Vista FX.
When an effect is only used for one single channel, it can be patched into the
channels insert path. The effect then cannot be used for any other channels.
These two effect concepts can be used with Vista FX, and are explained in
more details in the following chapter.
As the starting point for working on a session by session basis with Vista FX,
the engine setup needs to be carried out.
By pressing the FX button, the Vista FX Engine Setup window opens up.
The Vista FX Engine Setup window has one tab : DNA1
Two engines are shown : Engine A and Engine B.
