Work with the FX
See here for information on the FX types available.
Open with the FX Rack
Use the Surface FX screen or Editor FX Rack toolbar button. The 8 virtual rack slots are shown either empty or with FX already loaded. Select one and open up either the front or back panel view. Use the Library to change an effect type or load into an empty position.
SEL key FX selection
Press SEL on either an FX send master or return channel to open the FX screen if none of the screen keys are already selected. The channel processing section PEQ becomes available when selecting the return.
The FX screen - The top part of the screen presents the FX rack front or back panel view. The lower part of the screen provides access to the send and return master levels and controls.
Front Panel - Presents the FX parameters. Select a parameter box or control and use the Touchscreen rotary or mouse to change the setting.
Back Panel - Presents the FX patching. Choose the FX type from the drop down menu:
The FX rack provides extensive routing possibilities:
Choose the Input to the FX device from the drop down menu:
The destination of the up to 8 outputs of the FX device is displayed in the View Outputs window. The outputs can be routed to any combination of iLive sockets and Ports using the OUTPUTS screen, to the channels for full return processing via the PREAMP screen, daisy chained to another FX device, or restored to feed its dedicated stereo 'short' return (IP FX) by selecting the Unassign button.
Note - The 'short' returns are in addition to the 64 channels available within the DSP mix engine. This means the MixRack can work with 72 sources to the mix.
PEQ - Select the PEQ button to open the 4-band PEQ Parameter or Graph view.
DFX - Select the DFX button to open the dynamic FX shaper:
