17—Working with FX Return Channels
When you press AUX 1-8/FX 1-4, the four right-most channel strips—labeled “FX RTN
1-4”—are FX return channels that control the stereo outputs of Effects 1-4, respectively,
when they’re set up as loop effects.
What Does an FX Return Channel Do?
Each FX return channel provides a set of controls for the stereo signal produced by its
corresponding effect processor, Effect 1-4. An FX return channel has a stereo fader with
which you can set the level of the effect. It also provides a set of CH EDIT tools that let
you manage the effect and send it to the MASTER mix, print the effect to hard disk
recorder tracks, or to Aux or Direct paths.
The FX Return Channel Fader
An FX return channel fader sets the level of the corresponding effect’s stereo
output as it’s sent to the desired destination—most often either the MASTER
mix or one or two tracks in the hard disk recorder. The position of the fader is
reflected in the FX return channel’s CH EDIT FADER parameter value.
Changing the FADER value is the same as moving the physical fader.
FX Return CH EDIT Tools
Each FX return channel has three FX return CH EDIT screens. It has a:
• main CH EDIT screen (see Page 224) • SURROUND screen (Page 312)
• Parameter View screen (Page 227)
When an effect is inserted on an input or track channel, or the MASTER bus, it requires
no FX return channel. Therefore, if this is the case, the effect’s FX return channel is de-
activated.
When the VS-2400CD is shipped from the factory, Effects 1 and 2 available. You can
install an optional VS8F-2 effect expansion board to add another pair of stereo effects,
up to a total of four stereo effects.
