Stereo-In, Stereo-Out Effects (Continued)
1. Press FLEX BUS MASTER 1-12.
By looking at the (AUDIO) STATUS buttons, we can see that Flex
Busses 1 and 2 are already being sent into the main mix.
2. Press CH LEVEL.
As we can see on the display, the levels for Flex Busses 1 and 2 are
both set to 100—they're properly balanced.
However, both Flex Busses are panned to the center. To hear the
left and right sides of the stereo effect inserted on the Flex Busses,
we'll have to pan the Flex Busses to the extreme left and right.
3. Press CH PAN.
4. Use the first two faders to pan Flex Bus 1 all the way to the left in
the main mix, and Flex Bus 2 all the way to the right.
Let's make one more change to make the "stereoness" of the effect
more obvious.
5. Press INPUT CH 1-24 and press the (AUDIO) STATUS buttons of
Input Channels 1 and 2 to turn them off, removing their dry signals
from the main mix altogether.
In a real-world situation, you may or may not want to silence the original
dry signals, depending on your needs.
6. Sing or speak into the mic connected to Input Channel 1—you can
hear your signal on the left only, pitch-shifted down by five
semitones (this is how the effect is currently set).
7. Send some sound into Input Channel 2—you can hear this signal
on the right, pitch-shifted upwards by seven semitones.
The VM-7000's master effects are stereo-in, stereo-out effects inserted
on the two sides of the stereo main mix or monitor busses.
Before proceeding:
1. Press the (AUDIO) STATUS buttons for Input Channels 1 and 2 to
return them to the main mix.
2. Press FLEX BUS MASTER 1-12, and press the (AUDIO) STATUS
buttons for Flex Busses 1 and 2 to remove them from the main mix.
3. Press LEVEL METER.
XXIX. Dual-Mono Effects
Some of the VM-7000's stereo-in, stereo-out effects are intended for use
as two separate mono effects. The left and right sides process their
respective signals independently, with no interaction between them.
The MicSimulator algorithm is a good example of this. Each side of the
effect is meant to apply a COSM microphone model to one mic's signal.
(You could run the stereo outputs of a binaural mic through this effect,
but, even so, the two sides of the effect will process your two mic
signals independently).
You can use dual-mono effects by inserting them on Flex Busses—as
we just did—or by inserting their left and right sides them directly into
input or multi in channels.
