Setting effects

There are two methods for using the internal effect processor of the VF80: “loop effect” and “insert effect”. The following describes how to set the send level and select an effect type of the loop effect.

See “Mixer Function” for details about the loop effect, such as how to make pre/post setting of an effect send or how to set effect parameters.

See also “Advanced Operations” on page 83 for details about the insert effect.

Effect send level setting

2While the effect send level setting screen is shown, press the [TRACK STATUS/TRACK SEL] key of the

desired track.

The effect knob icon of the selected track is highlighted, showing that it can be edited. The default value for track sends 1 through 6 is “0” while the default value for the master is “80”.

<Pre/post setting of effect sends>

All the effect sends from tracks 1 through 6 are initially set to “post-fader”. Therefore, when a track fader is completely down, no signal is sent even if you raise the effect send level of the track.

You can also select “pre-fader” if necessary. See “Mixer functions” for details.

<Parameter setting for each effect type>

You can set parameters for the selected effect type. See “Mixer functions” for details about parameter setting.
