PROCESSING EXTERNAL SOUND SOURCES THROUGH THE EFFECTS
As well as processing programs, parts and keygroups through the internal effects, you
may also process external sound sources thereby turing the S3000XL into a very flexible
stand alone effects processor as well. You may process internal AND external sounds
through the effects for even more flexibility. For example, in a mixdown, you could be
mixing tracks off tape whilst running the S3000XL ‘live’ from a sequencer synced to a
timecode track. You could feed audio from tape via two of the mixer’s auxilliary sends to
the S3000XL:
MIDI
TIMECODE
AUX SENDs
L/R INPUTS
To DAT/Tape/Cassette
In this example, an Akai DR8 8-track digital audio recorder/editor is feeding its eight tracks
into the mixer providing the ‘non-MIDIable’ parts such as vocals, guitar, etc.. It is also
running timecode to a sequencer which, in turn, is ‘playing’ the S3000XL ‘live’ in the mix.
