DIGITAL PROCESSING ARENA

This is a brief overview of the digital processing capabilities of your new FX™ mixer. While you can expect incredible results following this guide, mastering the art of digital processing will be achieved through experimentation. Keep in mind that until you confirm your changes by pressing "save", no alterations have been made to the presets. Peavey engineers programmed your mixer with a variety of the most commonly used presets, which are ready to use right out of the box. However, your FX mixer will only reach its full digital processing potential through your acquired expertise. Review the process below and begin exploring the digital mixing world beyond factory presets.

44A Effects Screen

When you power up your FX Mixer, the Peavey logo will briefly appear on the LCD (47). In a few seconds, once the mixer software is fully loaded, the effects screen will appear on the LCD (47). Your FX Mixer fea- tures a variety of commonly used factory presets and plenty of user-defined, customizable presets. Each preset effect may contain 1-3 effects. The split screen display (EFX 1 and EFX 2) contains information for the current, active presets. The two active presets shown on the LCD (47) are independent and can be assigned to any channel(s) using EFX 1-2 Sends (8) . The screen displays the preset number (effects 1- 99), the title for that individual effect (Church Choir, for example), and which effects are included in that preset (compressor, reverb, delay, etc.). To change the preset for EFX 1 or EFX 2, use the corresponding Software Encoder knob (45) . When you reach the

desired preset, you will be prompted to select the	Cathedral				Small Room

of reverb on the "Joe's Bar" preset(preset 37). The

“lib” (library) is a helpful place to start. Peavey has pre-programmed your FX mixer with a library of com- monly used effects settings (Delay, Reverb, Deesser, etc.). You may choose to use the library effect as programmed or tweak the parameters to your own personal preference.
