16—Using Effects
Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual www.RolandUS.com 209
To send a channel’s signal to an effect, adjust the Aux send controls for the Aux bus
you’re using:
1. Select the desired channel and press its CH EDIT button to
display its CH EDIT VIEW screen.
2. Turn on the Aux send control’s send status switch by setting
it to the available Pre or Pst value.
3. Set its send level as desired—use 0.0 dB as a starting value.
4. If you’re using linked Aux busses, adjust the Aux send panning control to place the
channel’s signal in the effect’s stereo field.
Return the Output of the Effect
The output of each of the four internal effects has its own channel in the VS-2400CD’s
digital mixer. These are the four FX return channels, which are the subject of Chapter
17, starting on Page 223. Their faders set their levels, and each has its own CH EDIT
parameters with which you can control the sound and destination for the
corresponding effect processor.
Select an Effect Patch and Edit It if Necessary
We’ll explain how to do both of these things in “Selecting Effect Patches” on Page 215
and “Editing Effect Patches” on Page 217.
Setting Up an External Loop Effect
You can use an Aux or Direct path to send a signal to an external effect processor.
Although the effect is produced by an external device, the usual loop effect send-and-
return logic still applies. In fact, a few of the steps are exactly the same:
1. Route an Aux or Direct path to the desired analog output jack or digital output
connector—see Page 272 to learn how to assign Aux or Direct paths to outputs.
2. Configure the Aux or Direct path as we’ve already described on Page 208.
3. Send signals to the Aux bus or Direct path, and, therefore, to the external effect. You
can also learn how to do this on Page 208.
4. Return the effect processor’s output or outputs to one or two of the VS-2400CD’s
analog or digital inputs. Chapter 9 describes working with input signals.
5. Route the input signal(s) to one or two input channels. See Chapter 9.
6. Send the input channels’ signals to the desired destination as described in Chapter
12.
If you’re sending the channel’s signal to an effect on a Direct path, turn
on the channel’s send to the Direct path as described on Page 151.
In a new default project, the four FX return channels are routed into the MASTER mix.
