Digital Effects Processor - Behringer Xenyx 1002FX User Manual

XENYX 1002FX/1202FX User Manual
PHONES/CONTROL ROOM
Use the PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control to adjust the
signal level of the CONTROL ROOM and PHONES outputs.
CD/TAPE TO MIX
When the CD/TAPE TO MIX switch is pressed, the CD/tape
input is assigned to the main mix providing an additional
input for tape machines, MIDI instruments or other signal
sources that do not require any processing.
CD/TAPE TO CTRL
Press the CD/TAPE TO CTRL switch if you want to monitor the
CD/tape input via the CTRL ROOM and PHONES outputs. A
typical studio application of this function is recording music
into a digital audio workstation (DAW) with simultaneous
reproduction (see ch. 3.1).
◊
If you are recording a signal via the TAPE OUTPUT and
wish to listen to this simultaneously via the CD/TAPE
INPUT, do not use the CD/TAPE TO MIX switch. Doing
this would create a feedback loop, since the signal
would be routed, via the main mix, back to tape via the
TAPE OUTPUT. To monitor the CD/TAPE INPUT, use the
CD/TAPE TO CTRL switch to assign the tape signal to
the monitor(s) or headphones. This will avoid the tape
signal being routed to the TAPE OUTPUT.
FX TO CONTROL
If you want to monitor only the effects signal in your
headphones or monitor speaker(s), press the FX TO CTRL
switch. Now the signal of the effects processor can be
monitored alone, and the main mix and/or CD/tape signal is
no longer present on the phone and control room outputs.

100 FIRST-CLASS EFFECTS
The XENYX 1002FX/1202FX features a built-in digital stereo
effects processor. This effects processor offers a large number
of standard effects such as Hall, Chorus, Flanger, Delay and
various combination effects. Using the FX control, you can
feed signals into the effects processor. The integrated effects
module has the advantage of requiring no wiring. This
way, the danger of creating ground loops or uneven signal
levels is eliminated at the outset, completely simplifying the
handling.
SIGNAL and CLIP LED
The SIGNAL LED on the effects module shows the presence
of a signal whose level is high enough. This LED should
always be on. However, make sure that the clip LED lights up
only sporadically. If it is lit constantly, you are overdriving the
effects processor, which leads to unpleasant distortion. If this
occurs, turn the FX controls down somewhat.
PROGRAM
The PROGRAM control has two functions: by turning the
PROGRAM control, you dial the number of an effect. The
number of the preset you just dialed up blinks in the display.
To confirm your selection, press the PROGRAM control; the
blinking stops.
FX TO MAIN
The FX TO MAIN control feeds the effects signal into the main
mix. If the control is turned all the way counterclockwise,
no effects signal is present in the sum signal of the mixing
console.
The appendix contains an overview of all presets of the multi
effects processor.
