17—Working with FX Channels
5. FXLnk
Turn on the FXLnk (for "FX Bus Link") parameter to link the effect's FX send bus
to its odd/even partner. When sending signals to an effect with stereo inputs, this
allows you to send signals individually to the effect's left and right inputs (Page 204).
6. DIR 1-8
DIR Bus 1 is
selected and
highlighted here.
Using the DIR 1-8 parameters, you can route the effect to an output
after sending it to any of the eight Direct paths (Page 207). You can use a
pre- or post-fader Direct path, as explained on Page 209. Chapter 21
describes working with the VS-2000 outputs.
To send an effect to a Direct path from its FX return channel:
1. Select the desired DIR parameter box.
2. Turn the Time/Value dial so that the desired Direct path becomes highlighted.
Only one channel's signal can be routed to a Direct path at a time. When you assign a
channel to a Direct path, it replaces the channel that had previously been routed to the
bus. For a list of the channels currently routed to the Direct paths, press ENTER/YES.
Press EXIT/NO to close the list.
7. SOLO
Turn SOLO on to quickly isolate the effect by turning off any other channels
whose SOLO switched is not turned on. When you want to solo multiple
signals, use Solo Mode (Page 142)—it's faster.
When an effect is soloed in Solo Mode, its SOLO switch is automatically turned on.
8. MUTE
Use the MUTE switch to quickly silence the effect's output. To mute more than
one channel, you'll probably find it easier to use Mute mode (Page 141).
When an effect is muted in Mute Mode, its MUTE switch is automatically turned on.
9. BAL
The BAL ("Balance") control sets the stereo placement of the effect when
it's sent to a stereo destination such as the MASTER mix or a pair of linked
tracks. The BAL parameter shifts the effect's entire stereo image leftward
or rightward while maintaining the positions of its left and right sides in
relation to each other. The parameter can be set from L63 to R63.
When Mono Sw is turned on, BAL acts as a simple pan control of the effect's mono
signal.
