Select the
Effect
tab to view and control the effects
processing provided on the FM8-VB card.
If the input has been patched from the FM8-VB card correctly,
then you will see the racks of the effects bay:
Note that this is the same effects bay as accessed from the Aux
on the previous page. This is because the aux is sending to,
and the input returning from, the same internal effects bay.
If you do not see any effects racks, then there is a problem with
the effect return patching. Check the
PATCH IN
grid to correct
any mistakes.
Rules for Mono and Stereo Sends/Returns
Our example patched a stereo effects bay from a mono
auxiliary. However, you can deal with other combinations of
mono and stereo sends/returns as follows:
•
You may patch a mono aux to a mono effects bay and
return the effect on a mono input channel.
•
To use a mono aux with a stereo effects bay, patch the
aux to both the Left and Right inputs of the stereo bay.
Return the effect to two input channels.
•
To use a stereo aux with a stereo effects bay, patch the
Aux Left output to the Left input of the effects bay and
Aux Right to the Right. Return the effect to two input
channels panned Left and Right to the mix. You can
then pan your source channels to the effects modules
using the aux send pan. Remember that aux panning
may either follow the main channel pan or be
independent. See Page 142 for details.
