6. Effect
Any of the IS16’s input channels or AUX mixes can be assigned to the built in digital effect processor. To apply an effect to any particular
channel, select the channel within the EFX menu’s input selection section. To apply an effect to a few different channels (or a mix of a few
different channels) simply send the channel(s) to an AUX mix and apply the desired effect to that mix. The output of the EFX processor
can then be selected between the Main, Groups and Multi. The effects menu also offers access to Networking features.
6.1 EFX 1 & 2
6.1.1 Input Selection
Here users can select which signals they wish to apply the digital
effect to. Two inputs can be selected in total for stereo effects.
The EFX source can be selected between the input channels,
auxiliary mixes or group mixes.
6.1.2 Effect Type
There are at least 8 built-in effects to select from. Available effect
types on EFFECT 1 are: Reverb Room, Reverb Hall, Reverb
Plate, Tap Delay, Flanger, Chorus, Echo, Auto Pan, Tremolo,
Vibrato and Phaser. On EFFECT 2, users are able to select the
following effects: Ping Pong Delay, Flanger, Chorus, Echo, Auto
Pan, Tremolo, Vibrato and Phaser. Effect 1 also offers a stereo
31-band graphic equalizer while Effect 2 has a stereo 15-band
graphic equalizer.
6.1.3 Output Destination
This button allows users to view and select where the EFX signal
will be sent after leaving the effect processor. Each effect processor
has two channels, the first of which is sent to either the left or
odd-numbered mixes, and the second of which is sent to right
and even-numbered mixes. Possible destinations include Main
and Group mixes or the Multi outputs.
Please note that the available output destinations for each EFX
channel can be mixed and matched as required.
6.1.4 Level Meters
These level meters show the input and stereo output signal levels
of the IS16’s digital effect processor. Adjusting the level control
of your EFX’s input signal can affectively adjust the incoming
audio signal, and the EFX level control (6.6) will input and output
gain controls on the selected effect can help adjust these levels
as necessary.
6.1.5 On/Off Button
This button will turn the effect processor on and off. When set to
“Off“, the currently selected effect processor will be effectively
bypassed.
6.1.6 Solo Button
This button allows the user to activate a solo on the current effect
processor, effectively sending the signal to the Control Room mix.
6.1.7 EFX Level
This control will adjust the final output level of the digital effect
processor.
6.1.8 Dry/Wet Control
Offered on every effect, the dry/wet control adjusts the
effectsaturation of the chosen input source.
6.1.9 Parameters
Each of the built-in effects has a number of parameters that can be
adjusted by the user to better refine their sound. These parameters
can be adjusted by users using any one of the onscreen rotary
controls (adjusted using the jog wheel). The number of parameters
available for each effect may depend on the effect itself. For a
list of parameters, and their user-adjustable ranges, please see
the digital effects table. Reverb Effects, on EFX 1, offer a Gate
function with Threshold and Hold controls. When the tap delay
effect is selected, a tap button will appear on screen and users
can use this to adjust their tap delay time. Users can also opt to
use the enter button to adjust their tap delay time.
6.1.10 Reverb Select (Effect 1 only)
When one of the three reverb effects is selected, this menu will
allow users to select from 8 further refined reverb effects. For
example, if Reverb Hall is selected, users can then choose from
Hall Large, Hall Medium, Hall Small, Hall Concert, Hall Dark, Hall
Wonder, Hall Jazz, and Hall Vocal, each with their own unique
spin on the Hall Reverb and with their own unique parameters.
More detail on these reverb effects can be found within the digital
effect table.
