7 - Internal effect processor—Effect types7–2NOTETurn off the Aux sends from this module to theAux busses that feed the processor. If yousend from the effect return module back intothe effect processor, feedback will result. Thisapplies, of course, to all effect returns, but it isparticularly easy to overlook on an internaleffect processor.7.2 Effect typesThe effect processor provides a number of differentmajor effect types (some of which have sub-types),as listed here:• Reverb (Hall, Room, Live and Studio sub-types)• Gated Reverb• Delay (Stereo, Ping-pong and Multi-tap)• Chorus• Flanger• Phaser• Pitch shifter• Exciter• Dynamics (Compressor/Limiter/Expander)• De-esserThe Compressor/Expander/Limiter available as aneffect here is different from the dynamics processorsavailable for each module. Settings made and storedfor the effect processor in this setting cannot berecalled for channel dynamic effects, and vice versa .Likewise, the gated reverb effect uses a gate which isindependent of any channel dynamics processor gatesettings.7.2.1 Selecting a basic effect typeThe way in which an effect is selected is from thelibrary. The library contains a number of differentpreset effects, which may be used “as is” or used asstarting points for experimentation and creation ofnew effect settings, which may be stored in thelibrary.1 Press the EFFECT key in the Library section[4].Notice that the current settings for the effectsend and return, as well as the currently-selected effect, are shown at the top right ofthis screen.2 Make sure that the central lower part of thescreen is pointing towards the right (asshown above). If it is not, turn the SHUTTLEwheel clockwise, so that it reads LISTSCROLL (not CHAR SELECT).3 Turn the JOG dial to scroll through the list ofavailable effects. As the effects are high-lighted, the effect type is shown in large char-acters on the screen.Effects which are preset library effects areshown with an inverse R (Read-only).4 When the effect to be recalled has been high-lighted, move the cursor to the on-screenRECALL button, and press ENTER.7.2.2 Editing a recalled effectThe EFFECT key in the Mixer section (not theEFFECT key in the Library section) is used to bringup the EFFECT screen,Up to four POD knobs in the top row may be used toset parameters for the effect, as follows.Effect type POD1 POD2 POD3 POD4Reverb Room type Reverb time Pre-delay DiffusionValues Hall, Room, Live, Studio 0.1 – 37 (s) 0 – 250 (ms) 0 – 127Gated reverb Gate mode Gatethreshold Gate time DensityValues Noise gate, Gate reverb,reverse –60 – 0 (dB) 10 – 400 (ms) 0 – 127
