Using External Effects - Yamaha AW 1600 Owner's Manual

As an alternative to using the internal effects, you can use an external effect processor con-
nected to the STEREO/AUX OUT jacks. As an example, here's how you can use AUX bus 1 to
apply a mono-in stereo-out reverb to the track channels during mixdown.
1
Lower the [STEREO] fader to the –
tion.
2
In the Selected Channel section, repeatedly
press the [PAN/BAL] knob or hold down the
[PAN/BAL] knob and use the CURSOR [ ]/
[ ] keys to access the AUX OUT page of
the PAN screen.
In this page you can select one of the following as the
signal that will be output from the STEREO/AUX
OUT jacks.
• STEREO .....................Stereo bus (default)
• AUX 1/2.......................AUX bus 1/2
3
Move the cursor to the AUX 1/2 button and
press the [ENTER] key.
The AUX bus 1 signal will be output from the L chan-
nel of the STEREO/AUX OUT jacks, and the AUX
bus 2 signal will be output from the R channel of the
STEREO/AUX OUT jacks.

As shown in the following diagram, connect
your external effect processor to the
AW1600.
