FX INPUT level control (28)
This potentiometer adjust the level of the effect processor input signal (sum of FX SEND signals).
This allows you to intensify or attenuate the effect without changing the DRY-WET mix.
Example 1 : Activate the Filtered Delay (adjust the TIME on "1-2" = ½ beat Delay) and raise progressively the FX Input level control: you will
progressively intensify the filtered Delay sound without affecting the WET-DRY mix balance.
Example 2 : Use a Delay with a lot of Feedback, if you completely turn left the FX Input you will attenuate the original input and leave only the
residual feedback.
Push button FX LAUNCH (23)
The FX LAUNCH button sends the signal after DRY-WET Crossfader to the main PGM output program.
When FX LAUNCH is OFF, the effect processor is bypassed and the selected channel (FX SEND) is processed
pre-fader in order you monitorize the effect adjustment: you can now adjust all the effect controls in the
headphones without affecting the main MIX.
If you FX LAUNCH ON, the effect mix is routed to the main PGM and the selected channel (FX SEND) is
processed now in post-fader which means the effect mix depends on the state of the FX SEND selected channel
fader.
In order to manage the multi-channel processing (various channels are sent to effect at the same time), the effect
processor output is controlled by the general channel fader VCA system (Voltage Controlled Amplifier). This means
that if one of the channel assigned to the effect processor (FX SEND) is open (fader up), the effect processor
output is open to the Master output (PGM).
This VCA system allows you for example to use a channel with no input signal as an "effect output fader" (WET
signal): choose the channel 5 for example with no input signal, assign it to the effect processor (FX SEND), and
use the VOL knob to control the effect processor output. If you keep the channel 5 VOL up, you can play a Delay
effect on any channel assigned to the effect processor (FX SEND) and use the proper channel fader as a "Send to
effect" fader: if you close it, you will hear only the Delay feedback with no original signal.
