9 – Effects–Send levels, etc.TASCAM 788 Digital PortaStudio 83Using EFFECT 2 as a single stereo effect processor in the AUX effect loopThis allows the effect processor to be used in the sec-ond effects loop (AUX). If it is used in this way, thisallows the AUX INPUT connectors to be used for(say) the stereo signal from an analog sub-mixer atmixdown time.1 Press and hold down the EFFECT 2 key. Theindicator flashes, along with the indicators ofany current assignments.2 While holding down the EFFECT 2 key, pressthe SEND key.NOTEYou can reverse this order (press and hold the SEND key,and then press the EFFECT 2 key).You can remove the effects unit from the effects loop byrepeating the process so that the indicator does not flashwhen the SEND key is pressed.The effect send may be set to either pre- or post-fader on achannel-by-channel basis, as explained in “Pre- and post-fader sends explained” on page 84.While the effects unit is selected as the effects unit in theAux loop, the AUX INPUTs and AUX OUTPUTs are stillactive. The level of the mixed signal from the AUXOUTPUTs is controlled with the channel and master Auxsends (see “Send levels, etc.” on page 83).Send levels, etc.The two effects loops (Effect and Aux) are both ste-reo sends.The levels from each channel to these sends, and thepan between the two inputs of these stereo sends, canbe set, as well as the master send level.In addition, these two sends can be individuallyselected as off, or as pre- or post-fader on a per-chan-nel basis (see “Pre- and post-fader sends explained”on page 84 below).Stereo linked channels and channels 7 and 8 cannothave levels set independently for each channel. Onecontrol affects the send levels for both channels. Inaddition, the send pan controls change to a stereo pancontrol for both channels.1 Press the SEND key. The display screen showsthe channel send screen.2 Press the SELECT key of the mixer channelwhose send levels are to be adjusted.3 Use the cursor keys to move the cursor to thevalue you want to change, and use the DATAdial to change the values of the channel sendlevels (LVL), the pan position of the channelin the send (PAN), and the master send levels(MSTR).4 As also explained below (“Changing betweenpre-fader and post-fader settings” on page 84),theTIPLevel settings are from 0 through 127, and pan settingsare from L63 (full left) through C (center) to R63 (fullright).NOTEWhen two channels are linked, the send levels are identi-cal, taken from the odd-numbered channel’s values beforelinking, as is the pre/post/off setting. The pan controlschange to a centered mono pan.When two channels are unlinked, the stereo pan controlchanges back to mono pan controls, which are pannedhard left (odd-numbered channels) and hard right (even-numbered channels). The send levels and pre/post/off set-tings are taken from the pair, and remain unchanged.3, 421
