EFFECTS
S2000 Operator’s Manual - Version 1.30 Page 165
through the S2000. The S2000’s individual outputs are being used here (assuming they’re
fitted!) but you could just as easily use the L/R outputs if you are short of mixer channels and
set the balance of the programs within the S2000.
An extention of this may be to also be sequencing older synths that have no effects such as
MIDI’d up analogue synths or FM synths, etc..
Of course, you needn’t be sequencing the S2000 during mixdown and it can just be used as a
stand-alone two channel effects processor if you like
ROUTING EXTERNAL SOUNDS THROUGH THE EFFECTS
External sounds are routed via the I/O page in the EFFECTS pages. Pressing PAGE DOWN (9
times) will give this screen display:
Having only two inputs, you may only use two channels of the effects but you may route the
Left input and Right input to any of the four effects using the TO field.
The THRU field alows you to set how much of the ‘staight’ signal will be mixed in with the
effected signal. When using a mixer and sending signals to the S2000 via auxilliary sends, this
is best kept at 00 but when playing a sound directly through the effects, you should set an
appropriate balance here (you may also set the ‘wet/dry’ balance in the OUTPUTS page in
EFFECTS EDIT - see later).
The right input’s effects routing is done pressing PAGE DOWN. The parameters are exactly
the same as above.
NOTE: An effects channel may share an external input AND internal sounds. For example,
you may route some programs/parts to FX channel 1 which also has an external input routed to
it. This is so that you don’t have to make an ‘either/or’ decision and allows greater flexibility
when bringing in external sound sources. If you want an FX channel for exclusive use by an
external sound source, do not route any programs/parts to that FX channel.
SELECTING THE EFFECTS OUTPUT
You may, if you wish, route the effects to appear at a pair of the individual outputs. This allows
you to balance the relative levels of the ‘straight’ signal and the effects signal on an external
mixing console. This would also allow you to maybe EQ the effects signal or whatever. This is
set in the next PAGE DOWN:
You may select L+R, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 as you wish. You will note, however, that the outputs
selected here carries a mix of all four effects channels’ outputs and it is not possible to route
individual effects channels to different outputs.
