Using The Lexicon Fx Processors; As An Aux Send - SoundCraft Vi3000 User Manual

®
Each FX processor can be patched in three ways. Aux Masters can be patched to the inputs of FX units; input channel
inputs can be patched to the outputs of FX units; and both input and output insert points can be patched to FX units.
Patching status is visible in the FX overview page, though actual patching of FX units takes place in the relevant
source / destination channel strips. For example, to patch an FX unit to an input channel you would go to that input
channel's channel strip (input block).
So, to use an FX unit in a traditional aux send / return setup you would patch an aux output to the inputs of an FX unit,
then patch an input channel to the outputs of the same unit.
As well as the VST {tap tempo} button, the console's F-Keys can be assigned to the tap tempo function (see below for
details).
To patch an FX unit as an Aux send destination, you must first select either the output or the insert point of the chosen
Aux master. A fast way to get to the aux channel strips is to press the [All BUSSES] button. See the Outputs reference
chapter 7 for more options).
If you use the insert point of the aux bus you can then patch the output of that aux directly to the master LR bus, for
example. Once assigned as an insert, you will be able to edit the select FX unit directly by touching the FX block in the
output channel's touch screen channel strip.
If you patch the main output of the aux bus to the input of an FX unit, you then need to select an input to patch to the
output of that FX unit.
