EFFECTS SECTION
USER MANUAL - LMD1202FX AUDIO MIXER
PRESET
The LMD1202FX Effects Processor has 16 presets. Each of
these is a different effect type. The preset names are listed on the
top of the mixer. They are explained in further detail below.
VARIABLE PARAMETER
This knob changes the character of the effect depending on the
effect type. It either changes the length of a reverb, the feedback/
repeat amount of a delay, or the depth of a modulation effect. See
the preset descriptions below for more information on how this
control works.
TAP
On effects presets with delay, press this button twice to set the
delay time. This is useful for setting the delay time in tempo with
the music. If you want a quarter note delay, press the Tap button
on two successive beats of the music and the delay time will jump
to that tempo.
SIGNAL/CLIP LEDS
These show the level going to the input of the effects processor.
When you send a channel to the effects processor, using the Aux
Send knob, you should see the green Sgn light turn on. If the level
gets too high, you'll see the red Clip LED turn on. If this happens,
turn down the Aux Send knobs on each channel to avoid distorting
the effects.
