3 Connections

External effects

The X-9 can send signals to and accept return signals from an external effects unit.

Such a unit can be connected using the SEND (to the effects unit) and RETURN (from the effects unit) jacks.

If the effects unit is only capable of accepting a mono input, read the documentation supplied with the effects unit, and make the appropriate connection to the L effect SEND jack of the X-9.

If the effects unit is only capable of producing a mono output, read the documentation supplied with the effects unit, and make the appropriate connection to the L RETURN jack of the X-9.

NOTE

The return from the external input cannot be output from the digital output.

To use the external effects unit

Turn the EFFECT IN knob to select the signal that will be processed by the effects unit: a program (1 through 4), the microphone signal (MIC) or the master mix (MST).

Adjust the input level to the effects unit

and the output level of the signal from the effects unit using the controls of the external unit.

Turn the effect loop on and off with the EXT EFFECT key (it lights when the loop is active).

It is also possible to use an external effects unit through the footswitches (see “Footswitch assign- ment” on page 18 for details of this menu setting (08Ft))).

TIP

For a strange effect, you can send and return the left channel of a program through one effects unit, and the right channel of the same program through another effects unit with different settings.
