Digital Effects Processor
17
Onboard your iMultiMix 8 USB™ is a powerful effects unit that
has 100 preset programs. We offer a few tips on where to use
these, but don’t limit yourself to our suggestions. We recommend
that you experiment with these effects to get a good feel for how
they can improve your mixes.
Effects Section Components
Program Selection Knob
You can use this knob to assign one of 100 effect programs to
your mix. Turning the knob to the right increments the program
number, and turning it to the left decrements the program
number. You can control the level of the effect for each channel
via the channel’s AUX B knob. You must PRESS the effect knob
to activate the selected effect.
LED Display
This display shows you the number of the current program.
CLIP Indicator
When lit, this LED tells you that there is a signal clip at the
internal effects input. This means that you should reduce the signal
via the EFFECTS / AUX RET B LEVEL control.
SIG Indicator
When lit, this LED indicates that the effects processor is receiving
a signal.
