processed through the S3200XL. The S3200XL’s individual outputs are being used here 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 S3200XL.
An extention of this may be to also be sequencing older synths that have no effects such as
MIDI’d up anaolgue synths or FM synths, etc..
Of course, you needn’t be sequencing the S3200XL 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 main EFFECTS page. Pressing F1 will
give this 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 field.
The 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 S3200XL 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).
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 I/O page in the section and 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.
