15—FX and Aux Busses and Direct Paths
The VS-2000 has three types of important pathways. Each has its own use:
•
An FX bus
—carries signals to one of the VS-2000’s internal FX processors.
•
An Aux bus
—can carry signals to an AUX output.
•
A Direct path
—carries a single signal to a selected destination.
The six FX busses, two Aux busses and the eight Direct paths share a chapter in the
VS-2000 Owner’s Manual
because they’re all pathways that carry signals to particular
destinations. In addition, FX busses and Aux busses are identical except for where they
usually carry signals. In this chapter we’ll explain all three, and then offer some
guidance on how to use them.
It’s likely you’ll use FX busses most often, since the VS-2000’s internal effects are so
important in working on the VS-2000. Here’s an overview of the features each of these
pathways offers.
Aux and FX Busses
FX and Aux Bus Overview
We’ll discuss the Aux and FX busses together since they work exactly the same way. The
difference between them lies in how they’re typically used.
Here’s what FX busses and Aux busses have in common:
•They can both carry multiple signals at a time.
• Each input, track and FX return channel has its own FX send and Aux send controls
that allow you set how much of the channel’s signal goes to either type of bus.
•You can send signals to an FX bus or an Aux bus pre- or post-fader.
•You can link odd/even FX busses or Aux busses to create a stereo pair of busses,
and pan signals across the resulting stereo field as the signals are carried to their
desired stereo destination.
• Each FX and Aux bus has its own parameter for setting its overall, or “master,” level.
