The channel fader is used to simultaneously adjust both levels (volumes) of the stereo signal. Func-
tioning and specifications are totally similar to the monaural channel fader, as previously described in
the Input Mono section.
2.3 FX 1/2
The PowerMate offers two independently controllable, identically configured 24-bit stereo effect units
– FX 1 and FX 2. Each unit provides 100 program presets, which are selected by the use of the UP/
DOWN buttons. Parameters of presets can be edited and stored as User Preset (101 - 120), see
page 24 for details. The 100 presets are divided into groups according to their different effect struc-
ture, as shown on a printed listing. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending
order, where higher numbers provide the same FX type with increased intensity. Presets 1 - 20 offer
high quality reverberation effect programs that are equally suitable for live performance, recording stu-
dio or home recording applications. Program numbers 21 - 40 provide mixed effect types of echo+re-
verb and chorus while the numbers 41 - 60 offer different delay effects. The last group from 61 - 100
provides different doubling effects presets as well as special delay and reverb programs. During the
initialization of the FX units (when switching on the power of the PowerMate), preset 05 (BRIGHT
HALL, Large Hall 3) is selected for the FX 1 while the FX 2 unit is set to preset 55 (MONO DELAY, 230
ms 40%). These two effects are similarly suitable for live performances and recording applications.
This is the factory-preset configuration that can be changed any time.
AUX PRE/POST
In the default AUX PRE/POST mode the FX control of the input channels are used for both effect units
FX 1 and FX 2, see illustration 2-8.
AUX to FX 2
For the independent usage of the effect units FX 1 and FX 2 the AUX to FX 2 mode can be selected. In
this mode the AUX signal is used as dedicated FX 2 signal. This means the function of the AUX controls,
the FX controls and the signal flow to the effect units changes, see illustration 2-8. The AUX to FX 2
mode is selected via the menu, see page 25 for details.
