124 Chapter 12—Effects

4.Use the cursor buttons to select an EFFECT fader, and the PARAMETER wheel or [–1/DEC] and [+1/INC] buttons to set the effects send level.

For Effects Returns 1 & 2

To prevent signal loops, effects return 1 can be fed only to Effect 2, and effects return 2 can be fed only to Effect 1.

1.Press the [HOME] button, and then turn up the RETURN level control of the effects return to which you want to apply an effect.

This step is necessary because effects sends are initially configured as post-fader sends. If the channel fader is not raised, no signal is fed to the effects sends. See “Pre-fader/Post-fader Effects Sends” on page 125 for more information.

2.Press the [EFFECT 1] or [EFFECT 2] button to select an effects processor.

An EFFECT page similar to the one shown below appears, and effects returns rotary controls now function as effects returns effects send controls.

3.Turn up the effects return RETURN level control (i.e., effects send level control).

This sends the effects return signal to the selected effects processor. The effects return meters display the level of the effects return signal.

Returning Processed Signals

The final stage to applying effects is to return the processed signal back into the mix.

1.Press the [HOME] button.

Faders now function as regular channels faders.

2.Turn up the effects return control corresponding to the effect that you are using: Return 1 for Effect 1, Return 2 for Effect 2.

The processed signal is returned into the mix.

3.Set the EQ, pan, and so on for the effects return channel.

Effects programs can be recalled from the effects library. See “Recalling Effects Pro- grams” on page 134 for more information.
