17—Working with FX Channels
10. Effect Output Meter
11. Effect Output Meter Pre/Pst Switch
The Effect output meter shows the effect's output level as it's sent to the
selected destination. The meter can show pre- or post-fader levels. Most of
the time, you'll want to view post-fader levels to see the effect's true output
level. If you're sending the effect pre-fader to one or two Aux or FX busses
(Page 230) or Direct paths (Page 229), you may want to view its pre-fader
level to see what you're sending.
12. MIX
When MIX is turned on, the effect is sent to the MASTER bus. When it's off, it's
not. To add the effect to a mix, make sure MIX is turned on.
Listen to an effect as you record a track—without recording the effect—by sending the
track channel's signal to the effect, setting MIX to On and making sure the effect isn't
routed to the track (Page 232). You'll hear the effect in the MASTER mix as you record.
13. FADER
The FADER parameter's value sets the output level of the effect.
14. AUX and FX Send Controls
Each FX return channel has a set of two Aux send controls and six FX send
controls with which you can send the effect to any Aux or FX bus or pair of linked Aux
or FX busses.
You can use these controls to send the effect to:
•
•
•
Though the VS-2000 doesn't prevent you from doing so, sending an effect's output to
the FX bus routed to its own input can produce unpredictable results.
Each of the Aux and FX send busses has its own set of three controls.

headphone mixes—You can send the effect to an Aux bus routed to an output that's
connected to a performer's headphone amplifier input. This procedure is described
in detail in "Adding Effects to a Headphone Mix" on Page 234.
another effect—You can create a chain of effects in the VS-2000 by sending one
effect's output to an FX bus routed into another effect's input. If you want, you can
repeat the process by sending the second effect to a third and so on.
external devices—Send the effect to Aux busses routed to outputs connected to an
external device.
