HOW TO CONNECT YOUR EFFECTS DEVICES
There is no absolute "right" or "wrong" way to do thill-·
there are several ways. each witt1 its own consequences.
-~-~
.01.0
1~~7--7-TiT-7"
This is the most common method. Aux 1 feeds
a
reverb
unit, which has a synthesized stereo output patched into
effect returns
1 and 2. Aux 2
feeds a chorus device with
a
stereo output patched into effect returns
3
and
4.
Mono returns: If you have an effects device with a single
mono output, you can patch its output into
8
single
effects return.
Using the effects assign screen, you can
assign the return to any or all of the groups. During a fi-
nal mix to groups 1 and 2. you can assign it to left. center
(both) or right.
A special feature of effect returns 1 lind 3 allows
continuously variable control between left and right if
desired:
8
mono effect connected to RETURN 1 will also
go to RETURN 2 if nothing is plugged, into the RETURN 2
jack. By assigning EFF RTN 1 to group 1. and EFF RTN 2
to group 2. you can "pan" the mono effect anywhere be-
tween the left andrightbv adjusting the level of the RTN
1 Bnd 2 controls.
Putting the same
effect
on all 20 inputs (SUM)
If you want to use one effect device for signals from both
the MAIN channelsl-10·and
the .DUAl channels 11-20.
press the SUM switch.', This is a "where to" switch that
links the AUX 1 and AUX 2 submlxes together. Aux 2 Is
used in DUAL position to send.·from 11-20. and Aux 2 ·in
POST position for 1-'10. You can plug the output of aither
AUX 1 or AUX 2
to
the effect device-they wlll.both
be
the same.
NOTE: In order to
~~8
Aux 1 and 2 as separate send.,
make sure the SUM switch is OFFI

patching effects to on input choonel: There's no law that
says the output of an effects device must be plugged into
an EFFECT RETURN. either. They can also be plugged
into LINE inputs. and sent to either the MAIN or DUAL
mix. if you are cautious about one thing: make sure the
AlJX 1 and AUX 2 pots of those channels are set to the
center (off) position. Otherwisa. you will be sending the
output of the effect device back to itself. which Is a kind
of feedback.
If the effect device is a digital delay.
feedback has the same effect as a regeneration lnumber
of echoes) control. An advantage of returning effects to a
main channel Is that you can EQ the effect return.
To record reverb onto
I
track: Simply assIgn the return to
the track being recorded lusing the ASSIGN EFF screen)
and adjust the controls for the sound you want.
To hear reverb in the headphones but
not
record the
rwwIl.;
Group 1-2 Method:
Assign the EFFECT RETURN to
GROUPS 1 and 2.
Press the GROUP 1-2 switch in the
MONITOR SOURCE.
As long as you're not recording
Track 1 or 2,
the
recording will
be
"dry".
Dual Method: Patch the effect device output into a LINE
B jack and select LINE as the Input of the corr81lpondlng
dual channel. Make sure DUAL LINK is off. Press DUAL
in the MONITOR SOURCE switch. Use the channel of the
Dual mix for effect monitoring.
Cue Monitor Method: Assign the EFFECT RETURN to an
empty track thet will
be erased leter. Put the track into
recoFd ready, and control the headphone level with the
CUE level controls.
Using the Dual II
,n
effect
send
During mixdown. tne dual section can' serve as an· addi-
tional pair of effect sends. or as a stereo effect eend.
1. Hook tne DUAL OUT jacks to the inputs of two effects
units lfor example, Dual L to a digital delay. and Dual R
to
a·gated reverb). AlternatIvely. if'yott have a true'(as
opposed to synthesized> stereo effect· 'device, tho dual
can connected
,to
it.
2.' Connect the outputs of
the
effects units to ·two effects
returns: '
3. Set the input of the dual section to POST. By using the
DUAl;LEVEL and PAN controls, you can set the leval of
, send tottle delay and gated reverb from channell 1-10.
Using the Dual .as an effect send means that It .can't
