Configuring the channel FX chain
FX UNIT - Options are:
Pre Fade
Positions the FX unit before the channel fader. In this configuration, pulling the fader down will
attenuate the output of the FX unit.
Post Fade
Positions the FX unit after the channel fader. In this configuration the output of the FX unit will not
be attenuated if the fader is pulled down allowing the tails of reverbs and delays to “ring” into the mix.
Note if a delay is set to maximum regeneration it will continue to feed into the mix until the regen
control (Expression) is lowered.
EQ - Options are:
Pre FX
Positions the EQ before the FX unit. In this configuration,
the frequency response of input signal to the FX unit can be
contoured using the EQ
Post FX
Positions the EQ after the FX unit. In this configuration the
output frequency response of the FX can be contoured
using the EQ.
On Switch - Options are:
Pre FX
Positions the FX ON before the FX unit. In this
configuration, switching off the FX unit will allow the output
to continue to ring into the mix.
Post FX
Positions the EQ after the FX unit. In this configuration
turning OFF the FX unit will immediately kill the output
FX Mode - Options are:
Classic
This is the original Xone:DB4 DRY/WET law; Fully Dry kills the output of the FX unit, Fully Wet
kills the dry input signal.
Send
In Send mode the dry signal is always routed to the mix, the DRY/WET control becomes a “level
send” to the FX unit, and the output of the FX unit is mixed with the dry signal.
Hybrid
This is a combination of Classic and Send modes - for 70% the of DRY/WET control rotation the
response is similar to Send mode, for the final 30% of control rotation the response is similar to
Classic mode
