Roland VS-2000 - Setting up an External Loop Effect

16—Using Effects
Roland VS-2000 Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 213
To send a channel’s signal to an effect, adjust the FX send controls for the FX bus you’re
using:
1. Display the desired channel’s CH EDIT VIEW screen.
2. Turn on the FX send control’s send status switch by setting it
to the available Pre or Pst value.
3. Set its send level as desired—use 0.0 dB as a starting value.
4. If you’re using linked FX busses, adjust the FX send panning
control to place the channel’s signal in the effect’s stereo field.
Return the Output of the Effect
The output of each of the six internal effects has its own channel in the VS-2000’s digital
mixer. These are the six FX return channels, which are the subject of Chapter 17,
starting on Page 227. Their FADER parameters set their levels, and each has its own
CH EDIT parameters with which you can control the sound and destination for the
corresponding effect processor.
Select an Effect Patch and Edit It if Necessary
We’ll explain how to do both of these things in “Selecting Effect Patches” on Page 219
and “Editing Effect Patches” on Page 221.
Setting Up an External Loop Effect
You can use an Aux bus or Direct path to send a signal to an external effect processor.
Although the effect is produced by an external device, the usual loop effect send-and-
return logic still applies. In fact, a few of the steps are exactly the same:
1. Route an Aux or Direct path to the desired analog output jack or digital output
connector—see Page 274 to learn how to assign Aux or Direct paths to outputs.
2. Configure the Aux or Direct path as we’ve already described on Page 206.
3. Send signals to the Aux bus or Direct path, and, therefore, to the external effect. You
can also learn how to do this on Page 212.
4. Return the effect processor’s output or outputs to one or two of the VS-2000’s
analog or digital inputs. Chapter 9 describes working with input signals.
5. Send the input channels’ signals to the desired destination as described in Chapter
12.
In a new default project, the six FX return channels are routed into the MASTER mix.
