15 Internal Effects, Plug-Ins & GEQs

About the Effects

The DM2000 features eight internal multi-effects processors, offering a whole host of effects
types, including reverbs, delays, modulation-based effects, combination effects, and multi-
channel effects designed especially for use with surround sound.
Effects processors 3–8 feature assignable stereo inputs and outputs. Processors #1 and #2,
which are intended for use with the multichannel surround effects, feature eight assignable
inputs and outputs. Processor inputs and outputs can be patched to various sources,
including the inputs and outputs of other Effects processors, allowing you to chain proces-
sors together in series. (The only outputs available for patching in series are effects proces-
sor outputs OUT1 and OUT2.)
The input and output signal levels of the currently selected Effects processor can be metered
on the Effects Edit page and the Effects Library page. The input and output signal levels of
all Effects processors can be metered on the Meter pages. See “Metering” on page 127 for
more information.
Effects settings can be stored in the Effects library, which contains 61 preset memories and
67 user memories. See “Effects Library” on page 168 for more information.

Patching Effects Processors

Effects processor inputs can be fed from the Aux Sends, Input and Output Channel Insert
Outs, or the outputs of another Effects processor. See “Patching Effects Inputs and Outputs”
on page 78 for more information.
Effects processor outputs can be patched to the Input Channels, Input and Output Channel
Insert Ins, or the inputs of another Effects processor. See “Output Patching” on page 79 for
more information.
