Routing Signals to a Pair of Flex Busses (Continued)
16. Press F2 [SLAVE] to turn slaving off.
17. Turn V2 [PAN] counter-clockwise to pan Input Channel 1's signal all
the way to the left.
18. Press Input Channel 2's CH EDIT button—the screen changes to
show you the same parameters as they apply to Input Channel 2.
19. Press F2 [SLAVE] to de-activate slaving. Turn V1 [SEND LEVEL] to
set Input Channel 2's level to 100 and turn V2 [PAN] to pan it all the
way to the right.
20. Make some noise and listen to your completed stereo Flex Bus mix.
Before proceeding:
1. Press FLEX BUS 1 and bring down the faders for Input Channels 1
and 2 to turn off their sends to Flex Busses 1 and 2.
2. Press FLEX BUS MASTER 1-12. While holding down Flex Bus
Channel 1's CH EDIT button, press MULTI OUT. Cursor down and
use V2 [BUS MODE] and F2 [SET] to set BUS MODE to INT—since
Flex Busses 1 and 2 are linked, this will set them both to INT.
3. Press FADER UTILITY and F1 [CHANNEL LINK]. Press PAGE
DOWN twice and press F1 [LINK] to unlink Flex Busses 1 and 2.
4. Press SOURCE SELECT, choose MAIN and press F6 [EXIT].
XXV. Understanding the Internal Effects
The VM-7000 provides a powerful suite of effect-processing tools. In
order to fully harness their power, you'll need to understand what they
are and how they work. The following section presents an overview of
the VM-7000 effects. It's followed by hands-on examples.
When shipped from the factory, the VM-7000 contains the equivalent of
three stereo effect processors. The first two—Effect 1 (or FX1) and
Effect 2 (FX2)—supply a variety of general-purpose effects. The third—
the Master Effect or "Master FX"—provides effects designed specifically
for use with the system's main and monitor outputs.
You can install up to three VS8F-2 Effect Expansion Boards in a
VM processor to add six additional general-purpose stereo effect
processors, Effects 3-8 (FX 3-8).
Each processor creates its effect by utilizing an "algorithm," a software
formula that results in an effect you hear, such as a reverb or delay, and
so on. The VM-7000 contains 39 general-purpose algorithms, and three
master algorithms. Each algorithm offers a collection of parameters that
let you customize the effect that it produces—you can then save the
resulting effect in the VM-7000's memory as an effect preset called a
"library." The VM-7000 ships with nearly 200 pre-programmed effect
libraries.
You can use the VM-7000's effects on a variety of signals: input signals,
Flex Bus signals, main and monitor out signals, for example. You can
also use each effect processor as a stereo effect or two mono effects.
There are two basic ways in which you can get a signal into and out of
an effect, and each has its use. All effects use one or the other
method—some even use both, as we'll see—and are often described
using the method's name. That's what we'll do in the following sections.
