USlNG THE AUX SEND/RETURN LOOP
The MT100II’s AUX SEND controls function like a secondary mixer that derives its input signals from the main mixer’s four channels
and combines them into a mono signal which is delivered via the AUX SEND jack (refer to the diagram below). You can use the AUX
SEND controls to create an “effect mix”, independent of the main mix, thus adding the required degree of effect to each channel
signal. The AUX SEND signal is sent to the input of an external signal processor (reverb, echo or other effect device), and the output
from the signal processor is returned to the AUX RETURN jacks. The level of the signal received at the AUX RETURN jacks can be
adjusted using the AUX RETURN control, and the resulting signal is combined with the MT100II’s main stereo output signal.
Since the returned effect signal is combined with the mixers stereo output signal, the AUX SEND/RETURN loop can be used in
mixdown to add an effect to tracks when they are being recorded. in this case tracks must be assigned to tape using the "panned
channel-to-track” assignment method (see page 11).
[Note]
Since the AUX SEND/RETURN loop returns the ef-
fect signal to the mixer section’s stereo outputs, ef-
fects can be added to channels during ping-pong re-
cording as long as the panned channel-to-track as-
signment method is used. The AUX SEND/RETURN
loop cannot be used to add effects when recording
tracks which have been assigned using the direct
channel-to-track assignment method.
