ProMix 01 Getting Started Guide
Applying Effects
ProMix 01 features two stereo effects processors: Effect1 and Effect2.
There are 30 preset effects programs and 10 user effects programs for
you to store your own custom effects. Here we’ll apply Effect1 to
channel 9.
1. Press [SEND1].
The SEND1 LCD function shown below appears and the channel
fader goes to its minimum position.
Even though the fader has moved to its minimum position, you can
still hear the sound. This is because the fader is now controlling the
channel-to-SEND1 level, not the channel-to-stereo mix level.
ProMix 01 faders are multifunction faders, which means they are
used to control several signal levels. The flashing fader in the FUNC-
TION area of the display indicates that the faders are controlling
channel-to-send levels. If you press any function button other than
[SEND1], [SEND2], [SEND3], or [SEND4], the fader returns to its
normal operating mode (i.e. channel-to-stereo mix level control).
2. Set channel 9’s fader to the 0dB mark.
Since there are no master send level controls, the signal is fed straight
to Effect1. The processed output signals of Effect1 are returned via
RTN1 and the stereo signal levels are shown on the display.
3. Set the RTN/SEND fader to 0dB.
You can now hear the impressive reverb of effects program #1
(REVERB HALL 1) as the processed signal of Effect1 is returned into
the stereo mix via RTN1.
You’ve now applied an effect. Next we’ll look at recalling programs.
Recalling Effects
We’ve already heard effects program #1 (REVERB HALL 1). Now
we’ll listen to some of the other preset effects programs.
1. Use the PARAMETER wheel to select an effects program.
Its name and number flash.
2. Press [ENTER] to recall the selected effects program.
The effects program is recalled and its name and number become
highlighted. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to recall some the other effects pro-
grams to get a good idea of the range and quality.
