7–17 - Internal effect processorThe internal effect processor of the TM-D4000allows a variety of high-quality effects to be added tothe mix, while keeping the signal in the digitaldomain.The processor can be used either while recording, oron mixdown, as explained here.7.1 Routing the processorThe processor signal path is not limited to a singlesetting. The send to the processor may be routed tosuit the current purposes of the project.These settings are made using the I/O SETUPscreen, accessed through the DIGITAL I/O key (see3.1, “I/O setup”).7.1.1 Effect processor feedThe EFFECT selection at the bottom of thisscreen allows the internal effector to be fed by eitherthe Aux 1 and 2 send pair, or by the Aux 5 and 6 sendpair.Remember that Aux 1 and 2 can be set to be pre- orpost-fader, unlike any other Aux send pair. For thisreason you may be using them as a foldback mix in arecording session, and you may want to use Auxsends 5 and 6 to drive the internal processor.Remember that the feed to the processor can be mon-itored using the appropriate MONITOR SELECTkeys [22]. NOTERegardless of the Aux busses which areselected as the inputs to the internal effector,the Aux buss signals are also output at theappropriate AUX OUTPUTjacks [56]in parallelwith the feeds to the internal processor.7.1.2 Processor input modeThe feed to the processor can be mono (from eitheror both of the Aux sends) or stereo. This is set fromthe EFFECT screen, accessed through theEFFECT key in the Mixing section [13] (not theEFFECT key in the Library section).The knob of POD 2 in the second row is used as anrotary switch to change the input to the internal pro-cessor between the following four modes:STEREO (both Aux sends are input to the proces-sor separately), L Mono (the odd-numbered Auxsend only is input in mono, R Mono (the even-numbered Aux send only is input in mono, L+RMono (the two Aux sends are summed and pre-sented as a mono signal to the processor).7.1.3 Effect processor input levelThe Aux sends control the level of the signals sent tothe effect processor, which also has its own digitalinput level control (POD 1 in the screen above).This ranges from -¢ (full cut of the input signal) to+0dB (relative to nominal), in 128 steps using thePOD 1 knob. This level is applied after the appropri-ate level selected using the Aux send master.7.1.4 Effect processor returnThe I/O SETUP screen shown above is alsoused to use the effect processor return.There is only one module that can take the effect out-put as a return; the ST IN 2 output.Select INT EFFECT on the ST-IN 2selection on this screen. If this setting is not made,you will not be able to hear the effects produced bythe processor.The ST IN 2 module can be routed to busses, etc.,and can also be sent to Aux sends 1 and 2 (if these arebeing used as the foldback sends).
