User Manual CHANNELS & BUSSES The Si Impact console has several basic channels and busses. These are mono and stereo input channels, mono and stereo Mix Busses and MI output master channels (MI 1-14), internal F send mix busses (F 1-4), stereo Matrix mix busses and Matrix output master channels (MT 1-4), and the main Left, Right, and Mono/Centre mix master channels.
Page 41
6.1: INPUT CHANNELS User Manual CHANNELS & BUSSES INPUT CHANNELS Input channels receive either external input from instruments, microphones, and so on, or they receive input from the internal Lexicon F units (F Return — Stereo Input Channels 1-4). Input channels can be mono (64 available: CH 01 — CH 64), stereo (4 available: ST 1 — ST 4 — F Retunrs by default), or mono-lin ed (assigned in odd/even stereo pairs of mono Input Channels), and can be patched to any microphone, line, or digital inputs.

With Shape all the way down, reverberation builds explosively, and decays quickly. As Shape is advanced, rever- beration builds up more slowly and sustains for the time set by Spread.

Available only for Tape and Reverse Delays, this parameter controls the amount of “smear,” or signal degradation and frequency loss. The higher the setting, the more each delay repeat loses intelligibility compared to the original signal.

10.3: MISC FX User Manual LE ICON F MISC F The MISC category provides primarily modulated and pitch-varying effects. Chorus creates a lush, full sound by combining two or more signals together where one is unaffected and the other signals vary in pitch very slightly over time. Chorus is commonly used to fatten up trac s and to add body to guitars without colouring the original tone.
