TASCAM DM-4800
User’s Manual
6 – Effects
The DM-4800 incorporates two internal effectors: TASCAM FX2.0 and a TC Works reverb. This section dis-
cusses the setup and use of these effects.
Routing the effects
As explained in “Routing” on page 59, internal effect
inputs and outputs are treated as sources and destina-
tions for routing.
The two screens shown here are examples of how the
internal routing is used with the internal effects.
In the
OUTPUT
routing screen, the Aux sends are
selected as outputs, and the terminal destination is
selected as one of the internal effects.
Here, Aux 11 and Aux 12 are selected as aux sends to
effect 1 (effect 2 would be set up in the same way).
For the return, the
INPUT
screen is used. The source is
set to
EFF RTN
(effect return) and channels 25 through
28 are selected as effect returns.
WARNING
Since there are no dedicated effect returns, the channels
used for returns also have aux feeds that may accidentally be
used to feed the effects being returned on that channel. If
this is done, there will be a feedback loop that may damage
your hearing, and your monitoring equipment.
Setting up the effects
The
EFFECT
key brings up the effect screens, where
the basic setup of the internal effects is done.
First, an effect is recalled from the preset library, or
from a setting previously stored on a CF card.
When the effect setting has been recalled, it may be
used as it is, or edited using the editing screen.
After pressing the
EFFECT
key, pressing the POD 2
switch brings up the effect 1 library, for managing
the library effects for the first effect loop, and press-
ing the POD 4 switch brings up the effect 2 library,
for managing the other effect loop (shown in Figure
6.2,
Effect library screen
below):
