QUICK START
If you want to quickly try out the performance of 1601E Effects, please read the following points carefully:
CONNECTIONS
Make sure all connections have been made correctly and the volume controls on mixer and amplifier system are all turned completely
down.
Connect the IEC power cord to the rear panel of the mixer and plug it into a suitable AC outlet.
Turn on the power to the mixing desk and then turn on the power of the amplifier system.
SETTING UP
Select a suitable audio track (dance orientated music with defined beat information), start the playback on the connected sound
source.
Adjust the channel trim so that the input signal is peaking at or above zero (0) on the input meters.
Select where you want to apply the EFFECTS, channel 1, channel 2 or master. The [BEAT] indicator should be "on" indicating the
BPM is locked.
ACTIVATING THE EFFECTS
Select [A](single mode) on [BANK] . Press the [FILTER] button.
Move the [MIX] fader to the mid position to hear the filter effect. Try adjusting the X and Y encoders to change the sound.
To change the [BEATS] FX Speed setting, simply switch from [1/4] ~ [2/1]. The timing of the effect triggering will change instantly to
the new setting. Try the whole range of preset timings to hear the way they change the feel or 'groove' of the music.
To select [MULTI] mode, rotate the [BANK] switch through [B] to [F]. In multi programs the active effects are indicated by the
indicators in the main effect select buttons when you hold down the multi-effect bank buttons 1-5.
