Chapter 16: Internal Effects
This chapter describes the internal effects of the PRO Series. Initially, it explains how to
use the PRO Series Control Centre to operate the effects and then details all of their
available control functions and their use.
Overview of the internal effects
The Effects screen manages up to eight user-assignable effects devices, collectively
called the “internal effects pool”. This is a ‘bundle’ of onboard creative audio effects
that provide onboard facilities where outboard effects units would have traditionally
been required. The effects are displayed on the screen in a ‘virtual’ eight-unit rack.
Typical Effects screen containing all of the available effects. (The PRO3 only has six
rack unit positions.)
All of the points in the control centre’s signal flow where outboard effects can be
inserted, such as auxes and returns or insert points on input channels, audio
subgroups, mix and master buses, can be patched to effects in the internal effects pool
as well as external world XLRs. The following table shows the available internal effects
and where they can be found in this chapter.
