does not change state when toggling between Effects Processors.
See the Effects Cueing section to the right for details.
B6
toggles the selected Effects Processor On / Off.
J1
and
J2
joysticks may operate as transform switches or be used
to control effects parameters.
J1
and
J2
each feature an eight-
position joystick, a push switch and a green mode indicator light.
• If the indicator light is
off
, the associated joystick operates as a
transform switch.
• If the green indicator light is
on
, the joystick is assigned to an
effect parameter as shown on the following pages. Pressing
the joystick toggles between the two modes of operation. If a
second function is not available, pressing the joystick has no
effect. See page 36 for a more detailed description of how to
switch joystick modes.
P1

sisting of a rotary encoder, a push switch and a green mode light.
Footswitch
The last soft control is the optional footswitch. A footswitch al
-
lows hands-free control of these Effects parameters:
• Tap to set the BPM
• Turn the Effect on & off
• Select between the two Effects Processors (the DECK switch).
The footswitch can also assist with looping and recording
functions. These are shown in the Groups section on pages 36 to
39. See page 48 for details on compatible footswitches.
Effects Cueing
You can cue an effect before you turn it on so that you can check
how it sounds before you bring it into the mix. Button
B5
turns
the Effect Cue on or off. Note that if you turn Effect Cue on, it
stays on even when you switch between effects.
For an Effect Cue to be heard in the headphones, the Effect
Processor must be selected, Effect Cue must be
on
and the Cue
Pan and Master Cue controls must be in the correct position.
For instance, with a track playing in PGM 1:
1. Select Processor 1 to choose your Effect.
2. Select
B1
to route PGM 1 to the Effect.
3. Select
B5
to Cue the Effect in your phones.
4. Select
B6
to send the Effect to the Master.
5. Echo Effects are post-fader, so the fader needs to be up to
send the Effect a signal. Other Effects do not rely on the fader.
The Effects Cue for an Effect inserted in Main or Aux Bus is
only heard in the headphones if the Master Cue switch is
on
.
The Hold Echos are the only Effects that cannot be heard in
the headphones unless it is
on
and also sent to the Master.
