The Mechanics of a Loop Effect
There are five steps to setting up an internal loop effect:
1. Choose one of the internal effect processors as the one you’ll use.
2. Configure the FX bus as desired.
3. Send signals to the FX bus and, as a result, to the effect.
4. Return the output of the effect to the desired destination.
5. Select and edit—if necessary—the desired effect patch.
Select the desired patch—and edit it, if necessary—as a last step since you won’t be
able to hear it, and what you’re doing, until the previous steps have been performed.
Choose an Effect Processor
As shipped from the factory, the VS-2000 has two stereo effect processors, Effect 1 and
Effect 2. With an optional VS8F-2 and/or VS-8F-3 installed, Effects 3 through 6 become
available. Some algorithms work only with certain processors—see Page 220 for more
information.
Configure the FX Bus
You’ll need to decide whether you want to send signals from your input, track or FX
return channels to the FX bus before or after the channel faders. Unless you’re
planning an unusual effect whose level stays constant as the dry signal level changes,
configure the FX bus so that it’s set to Pst.
You can link odd/even FX busses to create a stereo send into an effect. Check out the
algorithm diagram in the
VS-2000 Appendices
for the effect you want to use to see if
accepts stereo input signals. If it doesn’t, use a single unlinked FX bus. Most
VS-2000 effects use a mono input signal.
Page 206 describes how to configure an FX bus.
Send Signals to the Effect
You can send an input, track or FX return channel’s signal to an FX bus using its CH
EDIT Aux send controls.
Each input, track and FX return channel provides six sets of CH EDIT FX send controls
with which you can send the channel’s signal to any of the FX busses. The six FX control
modules send the channel’s signal to FX Busses 1-6, and therefore, to FX 1-6,
respectively.
