Fostex VM200 manual Sending Signal to Effects Processor, Routing Effects Returns

Sending Signal to Effects Processor

6.Lower then raise the faders that correspond to the effect you are using for return signals. Make sure the corresponding channel [ON] key is turned on.

(Channels 17 & 18 faders control the EFF1 processor; channels 19 & 20 faders control EFF2.)

You must lower then raise the fader to set the initial return level. (See “Faders” on page 32 for more information.)

7.Adjust the PAN control for the effects return channel if you desire.

Sending Signal to Effects Processor

8.Press the [1–8 ANALOG IN] Page Select key.

The [17–20 EFF RTN] key LED turns off and the [1–8 ANALOG IN]

Page Select key lights up.

9.Press the [EFF1] key in the Fader Mode section. (If you are using the EFF2 processor, press the [EFF2] key.)

The [EFF1] key flashes orange and the [AUX1] key flashes red in the Fader Mode section.

10.Lower then raise the fader for the channel you wish to route to the effects processor. Then lower and raise the Master fader to set the desired effects send signal level.

This sends the channel signal to the selected effects processor. The effects send meter in the CH VIEW function page displays the level of the effects send signal, indicating that signals are being fed to the selected effects processor. As you raise the faders, you should hear more of the effect sound.

If input channels are paired, their effect send controls will be linked.

You can edit and store effects settings. Refer to “Storing Effects Programs” on page 135 for more information.

Note: If you set the Smoothing function to Level 2 (default), AUX1 and EFF1 are linked, and AUX2 and EFF2 are linked. Therefore, setting the EFF1 level will set AUX1 to the same level. Similarly, setting the EFF2 level sets AUX2 to the same level. If the Smoothing function is set to Level 1, you may hear a slight stepping noise when you move the fader. For more infor- mation, see “Smoothing Function” on page 120.

Routing Effects Returns

Once you’ve routed a signal to an effects processor and returned it to the mix as described in the preceding sections, you can route it to sev- eral destinations.

You can route Effects returns to the stereo buss (ST BUSS) or the recording buss (REC BUSS). See “Routing Input Channels” on page 66 for more information.

You can also route signals to AUX Sends 1 through 4. (Note that the REC BUSS OUT is disabled if AUX Sends 3 and 4 are selected).
