Filtering the Effects Sends
4.3.6.2 Filtering the Effect Sends
These buttons are also able to filter the frequencies being sent to a selected effect. For example, this could be used to add shimmer to the high end by running it through the flange or to send just the midrange to the echo effect to accentuate a vocal. Several cool effects can be achieved by using the frequency filters along with effects. The process goes like this…
1.Select the effect you want to use. (Figure 4.17) You can use the FX Cue function to hear it without sending it to the main outputs (just have the CHANNEL FX ON but the FX Engage button OFF).
Figure 4.17
2. Select the frequency range you want to send the effect to. (Figure 4.18) In this case, we are sending it to the Mid range frequencies. When you first select the frequency range, it will sound like the filter is engaged but the effect is not. This is normal.
Figure 4.18
3. Now, press the WET/DRY button and move the value down to around 50% using the FXGlide™ Slider Strip (Figure 4.19) You will hear the sound return to a more normal state, and the effect will be present only in the selected frequency range.
Do not forget to press the WET/DRY button again to get out of Edit mode. There are all kinds of interesting effects available when you start playing around with the frequency filters.
