Using Effects

You can simultaneously use up to four effects for bus A and four effects for bus B.
However, depending on the type of effect, there are some combinations that cannot be used simultaneously. There
are also some cases in which a transition (p. 35) and an effect cannot be used simultaneously. For details, refer to
“Effects that Cannot Be Used Simultaneously” (p. 107).
The V-8 provides 150 different effects, including compositing effects, filter effects, and motion effects.
In this manual we explain the effects using the factory presets (p. 28) as examples, but you can use other effects by
assigning different effects to the EFFECTS buttons.
For details on how to assign different effects to the EFFECTS buttons, refer to “Assigning Different Effects to the
EFFECTS Buttons” (p. 53).
If you choose an effect that has an “
” (asterisk) following its name, you’ll be able to control it using the [CONTROL]
fader. In this case, the EFFECTS button will blink, indicating that you can use the [CONTROL] fader to modify the
effect.
For details on the effect parameter that is controlled, refer to “Effects that Can Be Controlled by the [CONTROL] Fader”
(p. 106).
* The effect settings are stored in the V-8 when you turn off the effect. When you once again turn the effect on, the
stored settings will be applied regardless of the position of the [CONTROL] fader.
* In addition to controlling the effect settings, the [CONTROL] fader is also used to control bus fading operations
(p. 31). While the [FADE] button is blinking, operating the [CONTROL] fader will fade in/out the bus image.
* The target of [CONTROL] fader operations (i.e., the EFFECTS button or the [FADE] button) can be switched by
using the [ ] [ ] buttons. You can switch to bus A by pressing the [ ] button, or to bus B by pressing the [ ]
button. The button that is blinking will be the target of [CONTROL] fader operations.
