14 Effects This chapter explains the functionality and operation of the PM5D's internal effects. About the internal effects The PM5D contains eight internal effect modules. For each module, you can choose one of 55 effect types for the module to use. Note The eight effects can also be used as GEQ modules (➥ p.119). To use an internal effect via send/return, assign the output of a MIX channel to the input of the effect, and assign the output of the effect to an input channel. In this case, the corresponding MIX bus is used as an effect send AUX bus, and the input channel is used as an effect return channel. By default, the L/R outputs of effects 1-4 are assigned to L/ R of FX RTN channels 1-4. MIX channel 1-24 outputs EFFECT 1 EFFECT 2 EFFECT 3 Input channel 1-48 inputs ST IN channel 1-4 inputs EFFECT 8 FX RTN channel 1-4 inputs Alternatively, you can insert an internal effect into a channel by assigning the input/output of the internal effect to the insert-out/insert-in of the desired channel. Insert-out of the desired channel EFFECT Insert-in of the desired channel The PM5D's effect types fall into two categories; "stereo effect types" which process the L/R channel input signals independently, and "mix effect types" which mix the two channels before processing the signal. If signals are assigned to both the L and R inputs of an effect, the way in which the L/R channels are processed will depend on whether a Stereo effect type or a Mix effect type is selected, as follows. • Stereo effect types INPUT L INPUT R EFFECT L EFFECT R L RETURN R RETURN • Mix effect types INPUT L INPUT R EFFECT L RETURN R RETURN If a signal is assigned to only one input of an effect, it will be processed as mono-in/stereo-out regardless of whether a Stereo effect type or Mix effect type is selected.
