							Returning the Processed Signal33
ProMix 01 User’s Guide
Returning the Processed Signal
Returning the processed signal via RTN1 or RTN2 is the second step 
to using effects. As explained in the “Sending a Channel Signal” pro-
cedure on page 32, the processed signal can be returned into the mix 
just by raising the RTN/SEND fader. However, RTN1 and RTN2 also 
feature the following functions. 
Meters — See “Sending a Channel Signal” on page 32.
Faders — these are used to set the level of processed signal that is fed 
into the mix. When the SEND1 LCD function is selected, the 
RTN/SEND fader is automatically set to RTN1. Likewise, when the 
SEND2 LCD function is selected, it is automatically set to RTN2. The 
RTN/SEND [SEL] button can also be used to select RTN1 and RTN2.
EQ — RTN1 and RTN2 feature the same three-band parametric EQ 
as that of the input channels. The EQ Library can also be used. See 
“EQ” on page 21 and “EQ Library” on page 22.
CUE — RTN1 and RTN2 signals can be monitored in stereo 
(pre-ON/OFF switch) using CUE. See “CUE” on page 49 for more 
details.
ON/OFF — RTN1 and RTN2 signals can be turned ON and OFF 
using the RTN/SEND [ON] button. When the SEND1 LCD function 
is selected, the RTN/SEND [ON] button is automatically set to RTN1. 
Likewise, when the SEND2 LCD function is selected, it is automati-
cally set to RTN2. The RTN/SEND [SEL] button can also be used to 
select RTN1 and RTN2. See “ON Buttons” on page 25 for more 
details.
Pan — RTN1 and RTN2 pan controls appear on the PAN LCD func-
tion. See “Pan and Balance” on page 26 for more details.

1. Press [SEND1] or [SEND2].
The SEND1 or SEND2 LCD 
function appears. If you didn’t 
exit after your last effect edit, 
the EFFECT EDIT LCD function 
appears instead.
2. Select RECALL.
3. Use the PARAMETER wheel 
to select a program.
4. Press [ENTER] to recall.
The effects program is 
recalled.
! Remember that when a SEND 
button is pressed the faders con-
trol channel-to-send levels. To 
return the faders to normal oper-
ation, select an LCD function 
other than a SEND.
Recalling Effects Programs
There are 30 preset effects programs (1–30) and 10 user effects pro-
grams (31–40). 
Shown below is the SEND1 LCD function. The SEND2 LCD function 
is essentially the same. The flashing fader icon in the FUNCTION area 
of the display indicates that the faders are now controlling channel--
to-send levels. Effects programs are listed in the center and the name 
of the current effects program is highlighted. Also there is an equal 
symbol (=) between the program’s name and number, not a period 
like the other programs. The PARAMETER wheel is used to scroll 
through the program list. When another program is selected, its name 
flashes. If it is recalled, it stops flashing, appears highlighted, and the 
period between its name and number changes to an equal symbol (=).
Effects and Mix Scenes
Effects settings are stored in mix scenes, so you can instantly change 
effects just by recalling a mix scene. If you are using a controlling com-
puter or MIDI sequencer, you can also record effects setting adjust-
ments as MIDI Control Change messages. Your effects adjustments 
can then be replayed automatically. See “Control Change” on page  83 
for more details. Note that mix scenes store only the current program 
names, numbers, and parameter settings for Effect1 and Effect2. They 
do not store the entire effects library of 40 programs.  
						

							Editing Effects Programs35
ProMix 01 User’s Guide
1. Press [SEND1] or [SEND2].
The SEND1 or SEND2 LCD 
function appears. If you didn’t 
exit after your last effect edit, 
the EFFECT EDIT LCD function 
appears instead.
2. Select EDIT.
3. Press [ENTER].
The EFFECT EDIT LCD func-
tion appears.
4. Use the [¹] [ ] cursor but-
tons to select parameters 
and the PARAMETER wheel 
to set them.
You can go to another LCD 
function and return to the 
EFFECT EDIT LCD function at 
any time.
5. When you’ve finished edit-
ing, select EXIT and press 
[ENTER], or simply press 
[ENTER] twice.
To name and store the pro-
gram, see “Storing Effects Pro-
grams” on page 36. 
Editing Effects Programs
You can edit all effects programs, however, you can store only to user 
effects locations. So if you edit a preset program, you must store it as 
a user program. 
A typical Edit display is shown below. The name and number of the 
effects program are shown at the top, and the effects parameters are 
shown in the center. The cursor buttons are used to scroll through the 
parameters and the PARAMETER wheel is used to set them. 
See “Preset Effects Program Parameters” on page  37 for a detailed list-
ing of effects parameters, their ranges, and preset settings.

1. Press [SEND1] or [SEND2].
The SEND1 or SEND2 LCD 
function appears. If you didn’t 
exit after your last effect edit, 
the EFFECT EDIT LCD function 
appears instead.
2. Select STORE and press 
[ENTER].
The PROGRAM NAME display 
appears.
3. Use the [Ã] [¨] cursor but-
tons and PARAMETER 
wheel to name the effects 
program.
If you want to cancel the store 
operation, select CANCEL and 
press [ENTER].
4. Press [STORE] to store.
The effects program is stored. 
! By recalling a program and 
storing it to another user loca-
tion, you can copy and reorga-
nize your effects programs.
Storing Effects Programs
There are 10 user effects programs (31–40) for you to store your own 
effects settings. When STORE is selected on the SEND LCD function, 
user program 31, the first user location, is selected automatically. You 
cannot select preset programs 1 through 30 while the STORE option 
is selected. User programs can be named for easy identification.
Shown below is the SEND1 LCD function. The SEND2 LCD function 
is essentially the same. Effects programs are listed in the center and 
the name of the effects program last recalled or stored is highlighted. 
Also there is an equal symbol (=) between the program’s name and 
number, not a period like the other programs. The PARAMETER 
wheel is used to scroll through the program list. When another pro-
gram is selected, its name flashes. If it is stored, it stops flashing, 
appears highlighted, and the period between its name and number 
changes to an equal symbol (=).
Shown below is the PROGRAM NAME LCD function that appears 
when [ENTER] is pressed in step 2. The type of effects used in the pro-
gram is shown in parenthesis. The program name and number are 
shown above that. The selected character in the name is highlighted. 
Available characters scroll through the box in the center. Use the cur-
sor buttons to position the cursor in the name, and the PARAMETER 
wheel to scroll through the characters. 
Effects program names can be up to 15 characters long and the fol-
lowing characters are available. 
Spaces are available between the above character rows.ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
