EFFECT 1/2

FX1/FX2

The PowerMate offers two independent, identical configured 18bit stereo effect units

– FX1 and FX2. Each unit provides 99 program presets which are selected by the use of the UP/DOWN buttons. The presets are divided according to the different effect types into seven different groups which are shown on the printed labels. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending order where higher numbers provide the same FX type with increased intensity. The presets 1 - 20 offer high quality reverberation effects that are equally suited for the use during a live performance, in the recording studio or your home recording environment. The program numbers 21 - 40 provide mixed effect types of echo/reverb and chorus/reverb and also flanger while the numbers 41 - 60 offer different delay effects. The last group from 61 - 99 provides different reverse, chorus, and doubling presets as well as special delay and reverb programs. During the initialization of the FX units, when turning the Power- Mate’s power on, the preset 05 (Large Hall 3 Bright) is selected for the FX1 while the FX2 unit is set to preset 55 (Delay Mono 250ms). These two effects are similarly suitable for live performances and recording applications. They can be used sepa- rately or together. Please, also refer to the supplementary information form “EFFECT PRESETS” for a more detailed description of all effect presets. This listing contains all preset groups together with the corresponding program profiles, their individual characteristics, and a description on how and in what combination to use them. Take your time to test all presets and select the ones that are best suited for your specific application.

The preset 0 is a slap back echo which is mainly used for service and testing of the effects section, it doesn’t appeare on the list at the panel.

The FOOT SWITCH connector is provided to allow the connection of a foot switch pedal to remote control the FX units’ EFFECT ON/OFF function. If your foot switch features a LED – like the DYNACORD FS 11 does – this indicator will light when the effect is activated.

25. AUX1/2 SEND

These sockets are meant for the connection of external FX units, providing the mixes that you have established for the AUX/FX buses – the identical mixes which are fed to the internal FX1/2 units. The level setting is accomplished using the corresponding AUX/FX SEND controls. The external devices’ output signals can be send back to the PowerMate via the stereo return bus or using stereo input channels.

The AUX1/2 sends are designed in Ground Sensing technology to prevent the induction of external noise, even when longer cables are used.

26. DISPLAY

The actual selected preset number is displayed.

27. UP/DOWN buttons

The UP/DOWN buttons are used to select the effect presets. Keeping a button pressed constantly lets you step quickly through the program numbers.

28. FX to AUX3

These controls allow to mix the FX1/2 output signals with the AUX3 signal. In case you are using the AUX3 bus for monitoring purposes, you are able to add the FX signals at the desired level to the monitor mix. The experience in mixing has shown that the effect level in the monitor mix has to be lower than the level in the main mix, since the distance between the monitor speakers and the artists is much shorter.
