Setups Introduction
The Vx400 is equipped with four inputs and four outputs that can be configured several different ways for
both live and recording applications. These configurations are selected in the
DRUMS/SETUP
row of the
editing matrix using the five editing knobs. Settings include whether the Instrument or Line inputs are routed
through the Vx400’s effects processing and which pair of outputs mic, line, and instrument processing are
routed to. The
USB 1-2 Source
and
USB 3-4 Source
knobs are used for configuring how all inputs, mic
processing, and drum machine are routed via USB to the computer for recording applications.
Instrument/Line Setups
The Instrument and Line Setups are configurations for the instrument and line inputs designed primarily
for live performance applications. The Vx400 acts as a mixing device for mic, instrument, and line sources,
and can eliminate the need for a mixer when the Vx400’s outputs are to be plugged directly into a
full-range powered speaker system. When enabled, these inputs can be routed around or through the
Vx400’s effects processing and then mixed directly into the Vx400’s 1/4” and XLR outputs.
Both Instrument and Line inputs have four settings that can be independently selected using the
Instrument
and
Line
knobs in the
DRUMS/SETUP
row of the effect matrix. The configurations are
as follows:
InsOFF
/
LINOFF
- Instrument and Line inputs are disabled.
insDRY
/
LINDRY
- Inputs routed directly to Vx400’s outputs, bypassing all effects processing.
insRVB
/
LINRVB
- Inputs routed through delay and reverb effects of the current preset.
insFX
/
LINEFX
- Inputs routed through all effects of current preset.
