The Basic Procedure for Setting Up an Effect
Each time you use an effect, you’ll:
•
set up the effect’s send-and return or insert routing.
•
select and load a new effect library if necessary.
•
send the desired signals to the effect on the corresponding Flex Bus
if you’re setting up a send-and-return effect.
•
edit the effect to taste if necessary.
•
make final adjustments to your effect-related levels.
After resetting the VM-7000—as we did way back on Page 5—Effects 1
and 2 are set up as send-and-return effects. Even so, let’s go through
the three basic actions we listed above for setting up this kind of effect.
Set Up the Effect’s Routing
1.
Press EFFECTS 1-8.
2.
Press CURSOR UP twice to select the LIBRARY and EDIT
parameters for the top row of effects.
We’ll work once again with Effect 1.
3.
Press F2 [EDIT] to display Effect 1’s first editing screen.
4.
Press PAGE DOWN twice to view Effect 1’s ASSIGN screen.

XXVI. Setting Up a Send-and-Return Effect
There’s a shortcut for getting to an effect’s ASSIGN screen. Once you’ve
selected the desired row of effect parameters in Step 2 above, hold
down SHIFT and press F2 [EDIT] to jump to Effect 1’s ASSIGN page,
SHIFT + F4 [EDIT] for Effect 2’s, or SHIFT + F4 [EDIT] for Effect 3’s
(presuming you’ve installed at least one VS8F-2). For Effects 4-6, cursor
to the middle row and use the same shortcuts. For Effects 7 and 8,
cursor to the bottom row.
(If you’ve installed any
VS8F-2 boards, you’ll
see their effects as well)
To help ensure that you get the most from the VM-7000’s internal
effects, it’s a good idea to plan out your effect strategy before setting up
individual effects. As you plan, take into account the capabilities of each
built-in and optional effect—considering, for example, the inputs or multi
ins with which each effect processor is intended to work—to fully
harness the system’s effect-processing power. You may even want to
connect your input and multi in signals in an order that makes it easy to
get their signals to the effects you intend to use.
