Digital Effects Section

The S4000 feature built-in, 24 Bit Digital Multi-effects Processors with 100 dazzling, studio qual-
ity effects like Delay, Chorus, Flanger and lush Reverbs including Halls, Plates and Rooms. The
following section describes the features control knobs and layout of the
powerful on-board digital Multi-effects section.
28. Program Effects Display - The mixer's multi-effects processors feature
a dual digit, seven-segment numerical Effects Display for showing
the effects PROGRAM number from 00 - 99. When the Effects Dis-
play shows two straight lines through the center of each segment the
effects are turned off.
29. SELECT Control Knob - The SELECT control knob is a continuously vari-
able encoder to call up one of the 100 built-in digital effects presets.
Rotate the SELECT knob to scroll through the preset programs and
press to load the selected effect.
30. EFX ON Switch - The EFX ON switch is used to turn the internal Digital
Effect on and off. The effects are by-passed when the switch is in the
out position and the Effects Display shows two dashes.
31. TO AUX 1 (Effects Return to Aux 1) - This control is used to adjust the
level of the effects from the built-in digital effect that is sent to the
Aux 1 monitor bus. This allows you to add the DSP effects to the sig-
nal in your monitor speakers.
32. TO AUX 2 (Effects Return to Aux 2) - This control is used to adjust the
level of the effects from the built-in digital effect that is sent to the
Aux 2 monitor bus. This allows you to add the DSP effects to the sig-
nal in your monitor speakers.
33. SEND (Master Effect Send) - The master EFX SEND control is used to
send the effect mix bus to an external effect device connected to the
EFX OUT SEND jack.
34. Effects Return PFL Switch (Pre Fader Listen) - The PFL, or Pre Fader Lis-
ten switch allows you to listen, or "solo" the EFX Return in the head-
phones. Since the signal is sent pre fader, you can hear the signal
regardless of the position of the EXF RTN volume Fader. This allows
you to listen a EFX RTN 1 by itself: to see if a reverb is long enough,
or to cue up an echo without having to play it through the main PA.
35. EFX RTN FADER (Effects Level Control) - The EFX RTN fader control is
used to adjust the level of the effects from the built-in digital effect
that is sent to the MAIN mix bus. This allows you to hear the DSP
effects in your MAIN speakers.
