About The Internal Effects - Yamaha AW2816 Owner's Manual

Chapter
5
The AW2816 contains two multi-effect units, called
"effect 1" and "effect 2." These internal effects can be
used in the following two ways.
Using an effect via AUX send/
return
In this method, the input signal from each channel is
sent via an AUX bus to the input of internal effect 1/2,
and the output signal of effect 1/2 is returned to the
stereo bus or bus 1–8 and mixed with other signals.
This method is used when you want several channels
to share an effect such as reverb or delay.
With the default settings of the AW2816, the inputs of
effects 1/2 are patched to AUX buses 5/6 respectively,
and the output of effects 1/2 are patched to return
channels 1/2.
Effect 1
Effect 2
The signals sent from input channels 1–8 and monitor
channels 1–16 to AUX buses 5/6 are input to effects 1/
2 respectively. You can adjust the AUX 5/6 send levels
for each channel, and switch between pre-fader and
post-fader send.
The signals that are output from effects 1/2 are sent to
return channels 1/2. By assigning return channels 1/2
to buses 1–8 or the stereo bus, you can mix them with
the original (unprocessed) sound of the input or moni-
tor channel.
Using the internal effects
This chapter explains how to use the two effects built into the
AW2816.

Inserting an effect into a specific
channel
In this method, the internal effect is released from its
assignment to the AUX bus or return channel, and
inserted into a specific channel. Use this method
when you want to apply the effect only to a specific
channel.
INPUT
PATCH
An effect can be inserted into the following channels.
• Input channels 1–8
• Monitor channels 1–16
• Return channels 1/2
• Stereo output channel
Tip!
The location at which the effect is inserted (insert I/O
point) will be immediately after the attenuator (for an
Effect 1
input channel, monitor channel, or return channel) or
Effect 2
immediately after the dynamics processor (for the ste-
reo output channel). For details refer to page 27,
"Signal flow within the AW2816."
An internal effect that has been inserted into a chan-
nel cannot be used via AUX send/return or inserted
into another channel.
