Effects Direction - Akai S3000XL User Manual

EFFECTS DIRECTION

The
multi-effects processors follow a 'traditional' path for the effects - i.e.:
However, there are times when you want to have the modulation and echo effects in
parallel with each other or to be able chorus, flange or phase the reverb to add a shimmer
or a 'swoosh' to the reverb decay. When using separate outboard effects processors, this
is simply a matter of patching the effects in the order you want. Many multi-effects
processors don't allow this, however, and you are limited to just one path as depicted
above.
The S3000XL's effects processor allows you to set the path of the effects with one simple
control, the
reverb followed by mod/echo or you may have mod/echo and reverb in parallel.

You will note that as you change the path control parameter, the direction is shown
beneath it:
When set to values in between, this means that part of the signal is going to the reverb or
the mod/echo section whilst also feeding the L/R outputs directly. For example, setting the
reverb whilst also going direct to the L/R outputs. Similarly, a setting of -25 would send
some reverb to the mod/echo section whilst some reverb is going direct to the main
outputs.
