Apply one of the 10 GigFX digital effects to the signals

The GigRac

s GIGFX Processor 

(14)

 has a choice of 10 studio quality

digital effects that can be added to any individual or group of signals

running through the mixer.  Usually vocals require some digital reverb or

echo to be added to them in order to create a more spatial sound that

is pleasing to the listener.

Make sure the 

effects On

 button 

(15)

 is selected.

To try this out simply select one of the 10 GigFX presets, such as Hall

Reverb, using the selector knob 

(16)

.

Turn the 

FX to Main

 control 

(17)

 to about halfway and then gradually

turn up the individual 

FX

 send control 

(18)

 on the channel you wish to

add the effect to.  As you turn up the 

FX

 send level you should hear the

signal change.

By pressing the 

effects On

 

(15)

 switch to the off position you can

compare the original 

dry

 signal with the 

wet

 effect signal.

You can now turn the selector knob 

(16)

 to select different types of

effects for comparative purposes.

A Note on Channel Use

Channels 1-4 are the most sensitive. It is better to use these channels

for microphones (particularly if your microphones are fitted with jack

plugs), and guitars with passive pickups. It is likely that you will need to

have the pad buttons pressed in if you use mics fitted with XLRs.

Channels 5-8 are less sensitive, they are ideal for line-level devices such

as keyboards, CD players and tape players. They will also work with

guitars with active pickups. Microphones fitted with XLRs will also work

(unless they need phantom power).
