2 – Notes on using effects
Because of the nature of the DM-24’s routing, a little
thought may be needed when assignments are made
on the effect patch page, as the DM-24 allows the
same signal to be routed to more than one channel
simultaneously.
Although this kind of versatility is often desirable, it
is important to make sure that this kind of assignment
does not happen accidentally, causing unexpected
and unwanted results.
This section provides some tips and pointers on how
to best set up the DM-24 in order to avoid any such
possible problems.
Default snapshot settings
The default mix snapshot returns the outputs from
effect 1 and effect 2 to channels 25/26 and 27/28
respectively.
In the same snapshot, assignable returns are assigned
to channels 29 through 32.
These settings are designed for the use of the internal
sends with the aux sends and returns, and external
effects with the hardware insert loops (assignable
sends and returns). If you are making changes to use
the internal effects or assignable sends and returns as
inserts or assignable inserts, a little work must be
done, using the assignment screens.
Using the internal effects as inserts (i)
In this example, effect 1 will be used as an insert on
buss 2.
To do this, the effects returns must first be removed
(de-assigned) from channels 25 and 26.
With the
SHIFT
indicator lit, press the
I/O
key until
the screen allowing assignment of channels 17
through 32 appears (or use soft key 2 to access the
screen).
You should set these inputs to some “harmless” set-
ting which will not conflict with any other setting
that is already in use. A useful source here might be
one of the digital inputs (if you are not already using
them).
NOTE
It is possible to assign the same source to more than one
channel. There are obvious dangers associated with
such an action, so we do not recommend that you do
this.
Next, return to the effect patch page (press the
EFFECT key until the patch screen appears):
Select BUSS2 INS SEND as the input source for effect
1. When you do this, the output for effect 1 will auto-
matically change (
BUSS INS RETURN) .
If you had not removed the effect returns from chan-
nels 25 and 26 before assigning the buss insert send, the
effect return would have been routed to these channels
as well as to the buss insert return (as in the screen shot
above).
