Add Effects - ALLEN & HEATH Icon DP1000 User Manual

Note that if you add large amounts of boost you may
have to reduce the channel
clipping. This will be indicated by

in the key. The effect of adjusting the parameters
is displayed graphically as a frequency response
versus dB level curve. Notice the effect the controls
have on both the sound and the displayed response
curve.
The LF band can become a sweepable 12dB per
octave high pass filter (HPF) to cut low frequencies.
This is useful in eliminating the low 'popping' sound
associated with close vocal miking or to cut out low
frequency noise. Simply turn the LF gain control to
minimum and adjust the frequency control for the
required cut off point.

Press the key to switch the EQ in or out. Press

to instantly reset the EQ flat. You can copy the
EQ settings to another channel by pressing the

Add some reverb to simulate the effect of playing in a
large hall or similar environment. Press the
key. This displays the level of reverb for each
channel and the name of the effect type selected.
The soft strip becomes the effects send controls, one
for each channel. This sends the signal to the internal
effects processor where the reverb effect is created.
The 'wet' reverb signal is returned via the
channel and added to the 'dry' signal routed directly
to the mix.
 

Start by raising the
send control. The reverb effect should be heard. The
amount of reverb signal can be separately adjusted for
each channel. The overall reverb level can be
adjusted using the fader. Press

effect off and on. Press

Use to add other effects such as delays, echo,
chorus, flanger, vibrato, tremolo, autopan and so on.

Unlike the channel sends behave as individual
wet / dry controls to determine how much signal is
routed 'dry' direct to the mix, or 'wet' via
mix. This is important for 'insertion' type effects
such as vibrato which are routed entirely through the
processor. If direct signal were present the result
would be a chorus sound, not vibrato. Make sure
that the
 fader is set to '0' when the send
control is set fully wet.
