Chapter 8 Using the Internal Effects
Master Effect
What is master effect?
Besides ordinary FX-1 through FX-8 effects (FX-3 through FX-8 can be activated only when VS8F-2 is installed,
which is sold separately), a stereo effect of a different category referred to as Master Effect, is available. This is an
insertion effect specially developed for processing sounds output from MAIN OUT and MONITOR OUT of VM-
7100/7200 as well as for sounds output from PHONES (head set) of this equipment.
This Effect is useful, for example, to make final adjustment using "3-Band Dynamics" or "10-Band Parametric
Equalizer" while mixing down into an MD or a DAT as well as to simulate and check variations of sounds from
different speakers using "Speaker Modeling."
Master Effect can be used only for sounds output from MAIN OUT of VM-7100/7200 or MONITOR OUT or
PHONES of the main equipment body.
Speaker Modeling
The effect algorithm is the same as ordinary speaker modeling. This effect works well when applied on sounds
output to MONITOR OUT. It is useful, for example, to check actual feel of a sound when output through different
speakers prior to mixing down.
10-Band Parametric Eqalizer
This is an equalizer that can freely change the cutoff frequency or the band width (Q) at 10 points. Furthermore,
as Expander and Compressor are linked, sufficient dynamics can be obtained while suppressing noise.
