effects board (eb16) question

*i already tried to search stuff and i already went over my manual*

my eb16 came in today and i just installed it. the problem is now what the ll do i do. i was messing wit a drum and no matter what i did to it it still sounded the same. i dont really know what im doing but when i followed the manual i just didnt get it. can anyone just get down to the point or have any tips to help a newbie. thanks!

well, first you go to the mixer screen (SHIFT 7) and you select the pgm that you are using (DRUM 1). there you press F3 to go to the FXsend window. press the pad with the sound you want to add FX to and raise the FXsend volume with the datawheel. in the same screen you press the cursos up to the area with the "--", there you choose the FX you want to use for the sound (M1, M2, R1, R2). after you have done that, you press F5 to go to the FXedit window to edit the FX the way you want. basicly there is always a reverb active. you can activate the Dist, Filter, Modulation and Delay by pressing "On/Off" when you are on the FX with the cursor. from there you press open window to change the FX parameters.

Good Luck

that's exactly what I did; but even if there's no effect active in the chain the chosen sound is different (can't really describe in how far; kinda like less highs) when M1 or M2 is selected in the fx send window.
another strange thing is that if I activate the filter fx and all frequency ranges are set to 0dB the sound is also different.
(hope you can imagine what I mean...)

please help!!

took me a minute myself to realize i had to raise the fx send level. i was like I ASSIGNED IT WTF ISNT IT ALL REVERBY?!?!?!?!?!?! hehe

as far as assigning the effec but not having it do anything, and it still changes the sound...i know that with analog gear there is not a processor of any kind anywhere that wont color your signal when passing thru it, even if youre not doing anything. most plugins do that same thing.

so it's not really suprising that the ed16 does it too. unless ive misunderstood what you were saying

thanks for ya reply!!

first off, I raised the fx send level all the way up.

it isn't like the eq 'colors' the signal; it completely changes its frequencies!
and if I change the frequency ranges while their gain is still set to 0dB it also cuts off frequencies. I mean if the gain is set to 0dB the signal should be uneffected, shouldn't it?

...I just don't get it...
