Using External Effects - Yamaha DIGITAL MIXING STUDIO 01X Owner's Manual

Mixing Tutorial

Using external effects

With all of the EQ, Dynamics and Effect processing avail-
able within the 01X itself, you can do all your recording
and mixing without ever having the need for an external
effect unit. Still you may have a favorite reverb, delay or
other effect device that you'd love to patch into the system.
Here's how to do it:
■ Operation
q Connect the STEREO/AUX OUT jacks to the inputs on
your effect unit (Fig. 1).
If the effect unit has only one input, use just one of the
outputs on the 01X, or use a Y-adaptor to sum the ste-
reo signals to mono (Fig. 2).
If your effect device has digital inputs you may want to
use these instead (to avoid sound degradation). Con-
nect the DIGITAL STEREO OUT jack on the 01X to
the digital input on the device (Fig. 3).

w Connect the output(s) of the effect unit to the MIC/
LINE input(s) on the 01X.
Again, if you are using a digital effect device, connect
the digital output on the device to the DIGITAL STE-
REO IN jack on the 01X.
e Route the desired channel(s) for applying effects to
AUX 1 or 2.
You should also set the send levels (see page 100).
r Route AUX 1 or 2 to the appropriate output(s)—DIGI-
TAL STEREO or STEREO/AUX in the OUTPUT
PATCH page of the UTILITY mode (see page 91).
• Make sure that the input channels from the effect unit are NOT
routed to AUX 1 or 2! Feedback may result.
t Set the levels of the input channels.
