14 Effects Using an internal effect via a MIX bus This section explains how to use an internal effect via a MIX bus. As an example, we will choose effect 1 for our operations, assign MIX bus 1 to the effect input, and assign the effect output to FX RTN channels 1/2. 1 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the INPUT [PAN/ROUTING] key to access the CH to MIX screen. CH to MIX Type selection box 4 Make sure that the box in the upper left of the screen indicates EFFECT 1. This box lets you select the effect module that you want to control. If a different effect module is selected, click the / buttons at left and right to select EFFECT 1. Hint You can access the EFFECT ASSIGN screen (EFFECT function) to see all eight effect modules at once while you assign signal routes to the effect inputs and outputs, or operate Bypass and Cue (➥ p.168). 2 Make sure that the MIX bus 1 type selection box indicates "VARI." If the box indicates "FIXED," click the / buttons at left and right to change the indication to "VARI"; then press the [ENTER] key (or click inside the box) to finalize the change. This box selects the operation of the MIX bus (VARI or FIXED). If VARI is selected, the bus send levels will be adjustable. Hint The VARI/FIXED selection is made for two adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered MIX buses. If the effect input is stereo, it is convenient to pair these two MIX buses. 3 In the DISPLAY ACCESS section, repeatedly press the [EFFECT] key to access the EFFECT PARAM screen. EFFECT PARAM The effect module you are using OUTPUT area INPUT area MIX BALANCE knob 5 In the INPUT area, click the / buttons at the left and right of the L CH box to select MIX 1 (MIX channel 1); then press the [ENTER] key (or click within the box). This assigns the output of MIX channel 1 to the L input of the effect. If a signal route is already assigned, a window will appear when you press the [ENTER] key, asking you to confirm the assignment. Click the OK button to confirm the assignment. If you want to use the effect input in stereo, assign MIX channel 2 to the R CH box in the same way. 6 In the OUTPUT area, make sure that the L CH box indicates FX RTN1L and the R CH box indicates FX RTN1R. The L CH/R CH boxes in the OUTPUT area select the input channels that are assigned to the L/R outputs of the effect. By default, the L/R outputs of effect 1 are assigned to FX RTN channel 1 (L/R). If different channels are selected, use the / buttons at the left and right of the boxes to select FX RTN1L and FX RTN1R respectively. 7 Set the MIX BALANCE knob to about 100. The MIX BALANCE knob adjusts the balance between the original sound and effect sound included in the output signal from the effect. If this knob is at the 100 (%) position, only the effect sound will be output. 8 In the ENCODER MODE section, press the MIX SEND SELECT [1] key to make the encoder mode indicator show "1". In this state you can use the input channel encoders to adjust the send level from each channel to MIX bus 1. 9 Turn the encoders of the INPUT channel strip and ST IN channel strip to adjust the send level of the signal sent from each channel to MIX bus 1. Don't raise the encoder of the FX RTN channel you are using as the effect return. Doing so will send the output of the effect back to the input, possibly causing oscillation. Hint • The send position of the signals sent from input channels to the MIX bus can be specified for each channel (➥ p.51). • As an alternate way to adjust the send level, you can turn on the [MIX SEND] key of the MIX section, then use a [SEL] key to select an input channel and turn the corresponding MIX encoder (➥ p.51). 112 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner's Manual Operating section
