Vi1 FX Processor
General
The Soundcraft Vi1™ contains 4 powerful LEXICON® Effects Processing Units and 27 high-quality BSS®
30-band Graphic Equalisers.
LEXICON® Effects
Each Effects Unit can be inserted into any Output/Main Master bus or into any Input Channel, or it can be
patched as an FX Return to an Input Channel, fed from an Aux send.
Each FX Unit supports up to 30 different professional LEXICON® Effects.
Effect Parameters can be easily changed via the Widescreen Vistonics™ screen at a location on the
Surface corresponding to where the FX is inserted or patched. Additionally, the Parameters can be viewed
and changed in the FX Overview Page in the main menu.
All Parameters from the 4 Effects Units and for all Effects Type are stored in the desk Snapshots.
BSS® Graphic Equalisers
The 27 BSS® 30-band Graphic Equalizers are permanently assigned to the 24 Output Busses and the
three Main Masters. All Parameters from the GEQs are stored in the desk Snapshots.
LEXICON® Effects Format
Depending on the selected Effect Type, the FX processor works internally in one of three formats:
The FX processor always has Stereo Inputs and
Outputs. If the FX Type needs only a Mono Input, the
Left and Right Input Signal are summed together.
If the FX Type outputs only a Mono Signal then the
Output Signal is distributed to both the Left and
Right Outputs.
The MIX Parameter adjusts the ratio between the
original (dry) signal and the effects (wet) signal.
