Configuring the channel FX chain
Version 2 firmware and above.
The FX SETUP menu provides options to change the order in which key elements of the FX
chain are positioned. This advanced feature allows for individual customisation of each music
channel, altering the way the output of the FX units feed into the mix, and how the music source
feeds into the FX units.
The illustration on the right shows the default
signal path (from right to left), with the order
being FX unit, FX ON switch, EQ and Fader.
With Version 2 firmware, the order of these
stages can be changed to move the fader
before the FX unit, the EQ before the FX unit,
and the FX ON switch before the FX unit in
any combination.
Each option will alter the way the output of
the FX unit is processed, and how effects
respond to fader movements, the EQ and the
FX on/off.
There are also options to change the way the
Dry/Wet control blends the processed and
unprocessed signals, each of which will subtly
alter the sound of the different effects.
With this level of customisation, it is worth spending time experimenting with all the options in
order to find the response that best suits your style of music.
