EFFECTS
Page 162 S2000 Operator’s Manual - Version 1.30
You have now assigned the outboard effects to the mixer channels much like routing parts to
the S2000’s internal effects.
On the mixer, you would then set the send levels for AUX 1, 2, 3 and 4 for each channel as
appropriate (like setting the SEND level parameter for each part in the MULTI). Finally, you
would turn to the effects processors in your rack and select appropriate effects presets for the
sounds routed (i.e. much like going to the EFFECTS mode and selecting suitable presets
reverb and effects setting).
NOTE ABOUT EFFECTS SELECTION IN MULTI
The S2000 makes no distinction between effects in MULTI or in SINGLE. This means that an
effect created for use with a sound in SINGLE mode can be used on the same sound in MULTI
mode.
This has distinct advantages over other sound modules that have internal effects. Typically,
the effects are tied either to the single program or the multi-file and effects created in one
cannot normally be used in the other. This means that a single sound that uses a particular
effect has to lose them in MULTI mode.
As a practical example of this, on a typical keyboard/sound module, let us say you have a
raunchy heavy metal guitar leadline sound in its SINGLE mode. It uses all the multi-effects
possible including distortion, EQ, chorus, delay and reverb to create this powerful sound. So,
you decide to use it in a song and so you place the sound into the module’s MULTI. However,
as soon as the sound is placed in the MULTI, it loses the effect and is no longer the overdriven
leadline sound it was in SINGLE mode. Disappointment all round!
On the S2000, you do not have this limitation. In this case, let’s imagine the same scenario -
you have a guitar program in SINGLE mode to which you have added an effect that offers
distortion, EQ, chorus, delay and reverb (let’s say it’s effect #10) that you want to use in a
MULTI. Go to MULTI mode and place the guitar program into a part. Now select a suitable
effects channel for that part (for example, FX1) and, in the EFFECTS mode, select effect
preset #10 on FX1. The part containing the guitar sound will be routed to effect #10 and so will
play exactly the same in the MULTI mode as it did in the SINGLE mode.
