FX Sends, Routing and Insert Editing

FX SENDS

In the EFFECTS / PLUG-INS section of the DM2000, press the INTERNAL EFFECTS key to access FX Send information on the LCD screen. The encoders below the screen can edit various functions:

•Encoder 1 edits the send level.

•Encoder 2 edits the send On/Off status (by turning the encoder).

•Encoder 3 edits between Pre and Post Fader (by turning the encoder).

•Pressing any of the encoders will switch all sends On/Off.

There are 8 sends spread over 8 pages. To access different sends, use the UP and DOWN cursor buttons to the left of the LCD encoders.

ROUTING

Press the PLUG-INS switch to access Routing information in the LCD. There are two pages, accessed by pressing the UP and DOWN cursor buttons to the left of the LCD encoders. The following functions can be edited:

Page 1

•Encoder 1 chooses the Output Bus for the selected channel

•Encoder 2 switches the Monitor On/Off (by pressing or turning the encoder)

•Encoder 3 selects the Input bus

•Encoder 4 edits the Input Gain (the encoder must be pressed down while turning)

Page 2

Only Encoder 1 has a function. It is used to switch the Input Phase On/Off (by pressing or turning the encoder).

INSERTS

When the CHANNEL INSERTS switch is pressed on DM2000, the LCD shows Insert information for the selected channel.

•Encoder 1 selects which insert is to be edited

•Encoder 2 switches the insert On/Off (by turning, not pressing)

•Encoder 3 selects the type of effect to insert

Once an Effect has been selected, all the parameters can be edited by changing the page viewed on the LCD (by pressing the UP and DOWN cursor buttons to the left of the LCD encoders). The number of pages available depends on the number of parameters used by the Effect.

Note: in any of the above modes, the EFFECT DISPLAY switch toggles between showing the parameter names and the parameter values on the LCD.
