5-2 Using the send/return effect

The send/return effect is internally connected to the send/ return loop of the mixer. The MRS-1266 allows you to use two types of send/return effects: reverb and chorus. The following diagram shows the signal flow of the send/return effect.

The amount of signal sent to each effect (send level) adjusts the depth of each send/return effect for each track or for the drum/bass sound. Raising the send level will increase the amount of signal that is sent to the effect, producing a deeper effect for that track.

In this example, we will select a send/return effect patch, and adjust the send level of each track to adjust the amount of reverb and chorus.

Selecting the send/return effect patch

A newly created project contains 30 patches for reverb and chorus/delay. To select a patch, proceed as follows.

1. Press the [REVERB] key or [CHORUS/DELAY] keyin the effect section.

Press the [REVERB] key to select a reverb patch, or the [CHORUS/DELAY] key to select a chorus/delay patch. The display will indicate the patch that is currently selected for the effect you selected. The screen shown below is an example of what is shown when the [REVERB] key is pressed.

The unit returns to the main screen. If desired, press the

[CHORUS/DELAY] key next and select a chorus/delay

patch.

Adjusting the send level4. Press the [CHORUS/DELAY SEND] key or the[REVERB SEND] key in the track parameter

section.

Press the [REVERB SEND] key if you want to adjust the reverb send level, or the [CHORUS/DELAY SEND] key if you want to adjust the chorus/delay send level. When you press the key, the current effect send level for the track or drum/bass sound whose status key is lit appears on the display. For example, when the [REVERB SEND] key is pressed, a screen such as shown below appears.
