[. . . ] Owner's Manual Model Eight Channel Digital Mixer with DSP Effects Introduction Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex VM08. The VM08 digital mini-mixer does all internal signal processing digitally. The input section consists of eight analog input channels including four for microphones. The output section, in addition to normal analog outputs such as two channel stereo and a headphone output, also has S/P DIF digital optical output with a 44. 1 kHz sampling frequency: and 20 bit quantization. [. . . ] Light up the [A1] or [A2] dots in the status display section but pressing the EFF/AUX key. The LCD will display the following: Example: The character display section with light up [A1]. [1-Aux1:00] is displayed. This also indicates that the present AUX SEND 1 level setting is MIN (00). 3. Adjust the number with the DATA encoder. The number will change in the [0] ~ [99] range and depth of effects will also change. The graphics display will change at the same time. [00] ~ [99] will be displayed. EQ Lit EQ Bar graph extended in step with blinking. <Useful information!> 2. Press the desired CH ON/CH SEL key and select the channel you wish to adjust. When channels 5/6 or 7/8 are selected, the two channels will be set at the same time. If MASTER is selected, the effect send level master can be adjusted and the L, R meter used to display the level. 16 Model VM08 Owner's Manual PRE/POST setup method for EFFECT SEND/AUX SEND In the procedure here, the effect send and AUX send signals are setup for PRE (pre-fader) or POST (post fader). In the initial state, EFFECT SEND 1, 2, AUX SEND 1, 2 are all setup for POST (post fader). <Useful information!> PRE (pre-fader) means that the signal is obtained before the INPUT fader and is not affected by the INPUT fader. POST (post fader) means that the signal is obtained following the INPUT fader and is affected by the INPUT fader. In other words, in the PRE setting, although the INPUT fader is at MIN, the EFFECT SEND or AUX SEND levels can be adjusted but in the POST setting, no signal can be sent if the INPUT fader is at MIN. 1. While pressing the EXIT, press the EFF/AUX key to light up [E1], [E2], [A1] or [A2] in the status display section. The LCD will display the following: Example: The character display section with [E1] is lit [1-E1: Post] is displayed. This indicates that the present EFFECT SEND 1 PRE/POST is set at POST. 3. Adjust the number with the DATA encoder. [Pre] or [Post] can be selected. The graphic display will also change at the same time. Changes to [Post] or [Pre]. If [Pre] is selected, the blinking 3 digits move upward. Blinking Lit <Useful information!> When channels 5/6 or 7/8 are selected, the two channels will be set at the same time. Press the desired CH ON/CH SEL key and select the channel you wish to adjust. 17 Model VM08 Owner's Manual Effect Edit Mode The VM08 offers high quality ambient effects by employing the A. (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology), which is exclusively developed by Fostex. P. , you can obtain an incomparably clean and high density Hall Reverb, overwhelmingly clear Room Reverb and wonderfully hi-fidelity Plate Reverb. In addition to these typical Reverbs, the VM08 provides not only various practical algorithms such as Delay, Chorus, Flanger and Pitch Bend, but some combinations of these are also available, e. g. , Delay+Reverb. is an exclusive new digital effect processing technology designed by Fostex. It achieves an overwhelmingly high density Early Reflection sound and wonderfully smooth High Dump response through the H. Also, it carries out an elaborate reverb simulation with clear sounds through the H. (Hi-Density Logarithmic Processing), which eliminates the mutual interference between the numerous integrated delay modules and reduce the impurity and girt of the sound. * H. [. . . ] Delay Tap: When editing effect parameters, use the foot switch for tap in put of Delay Time or BPM. Channel fader recall setting (Display: [ChFdrRcl ?]) <Settings> ON (default) OFF If this setting is turned off, only the input fader settings of each channel will be unaffected when you recall a scene. In other words, the six input faders will maintain the settings that they had immediately before the scene was recalled. Regardless of this on/off setting, the input faders will continue to function normally in all modes, as well as when you store a scene. Master fader recall setting (Display: [MsFdrRcl ?]) <Settings> ON (default) OFF If this setting is turned off, the setting of the master fader will be unaffected when you recall a scene. In other words, the master fader will maintain the setting that it had immediately before the scene was recalled. [. . . ]
