Work with the FX

iLive works with FX in a similar way to analogue consoles, using a send and return path, for example reverb or delay effect. You can also configure inserted effects such as a flanger or reverb on a single channel.

Inserted FX Patch the FX unit into a channel or mix

master signal path.

MAIN MIX

Send / Return FX Use a mix bus or channel Direct Output to send channel signals to the FX unit. Return the effect only (wet) signal via a stereo input or IP FX short return to the main mix. The effect adds to the unaffected (dry) signal routed directly to the main mix.

Use the MIX key to send to the FX as you would to an Aux.

 

To view and set up all 8 'RackExtra' FX select the

 

TouchScreen FX page. Touch one of the 8 virtual rack slots

 

shown across the top of the screen. Use the Library to load

 

into an empty position or change an effect type.

 

 

The Front Panel view presents the FX parameters. Touch a

 

parameter box or control and use the encoder to change the

 

setting.

 

 

All FX units feature a Dynamic FX Shaper DFX which can

 

use the source to Duck or Gate the effect automatically. This

 

provides dynamic control of the effect, for example to

 

prevent reverb or echo swamping the signal during loud,

 

busy passages.

 

 

The Back Panel view lets you configure whether the effect is

 

inserted into a channel or master, or set up as a send/return

 

path. Choose the source feeding the FX and its output

 

routing. The source can be patched from a dedicated FX

 

send bus (if configured in the Mix Config screen), a mono or

 

stereo Aux, or channel direct output (saves using up mix

 

buses). The FX can be patched via a mono or stereo input

 

channel or dedicated FX return 'short' channel which

 

provides full routing and a PEQ, and is in addition to the 64

 

processing channels.

 

 

Press SEL on either an FX send master or return channel to

 

open the FX screen if none of the screen keys is already

 

selected. The channel Processing Block PEQ becomes

 

available when selecting the return.

 

Tap Tempo

You can assign delay FX tap tempo to SoftKeys using the

 

SURFACE / SoftKey Setup screen. Multiple tap keys may

 

be assigned as these are linked to specific FX units. Choose

 

whether to display the tempo on the associated LED.
