Using External Effects Units

When using external effects devices, the AUX A/B jacks serve as effects send jacks. The following example describes how effects can be added to a stereo recording on Track 9/10. Follow these steps when you want to use an external effects unit. Use the INPUT 7 and 8 jacks as the effect return jacks.

1.Connect your effects unit as shown here:

11.Press [] and [] to move the cursor. Adjust the volume level (0-127) and pan (L63-R63) as needed.

12.Press [PLAY (DISPLAY)] to return to the Playlist display. You are now ready to use the external effect unit.

13.While playing back the song, adjust the sound of the effect. To control the external effect return level using the channel fader on the VS-1824, press [FADER/MUTE] so “IN” is lit. Then use the “ST IN” fader (same as Track Fader 11/12) to adjust external effect return level. When you are satisfied with the level, press [FADER/MUTE] so “TR” is lit.
