ALM-032 - ‘MFX’
Common Program Parameters and Features
Mix
Every effect includes a standard mix control for setting the wet/dry blend of the
effect with the original input source. At 0%, only the input signal is heard at the
outputs. As ‘Mix’ is increased, the affected signal is brought in until 100% is
reached and no dry signal remains. When using the MFX in a mixer’s send and
return, be sure to set ‘Mix’ to 100% wet for the expected behaviour.
Presets
Following the mix parameter is a screen labeled ‘Preset’ where the parameters
of each effect may be initialised, loaded and saved into the available user slots.
Each effect includes a collection of factory presets to showcase its versatility and
provide a range of starting points. Keep in mind that the last used settings of each
effect will remain both when changing effect programs and power cycling. It is only
necessary to save a preset to return to a favourite setting following parameter
adjustments. By selecting one of the three ‘User-X’ presets, a custom preset can be
saved and later recalled.
I/O Indicators
The bottom left corner of the screen displays two pairs of dots that indicate the
input/output arrangement of the currently loaded program / parameter setup. A
solid dot represents an audio signal expected at the inputs or produced at the
outputs. Some effects are fully stereo whilst others expect a mono input and
produce either a stereo or mono output. Certain effects programs may change their
I/O arrangement depending on the ‘mode’ setting. The possible I/O arrangements
are as follows:
