Chaining Send effects from Redrum or Mixer devices
The Redrum Drum Module (Record+Reason) and the Mixer 14:2 and 6:2 devices have separate Send FX connec-
tors where you can add send effects individually for each device. The Redrum and Mixer devices also have separate
Send FX level pots for each drum/mixer channel so that you could set the send effect levels individually for each
drum/mixer channel in the device.
Let’s say you want to add a Redrum device and use two of the Main Mixer’s Send FX, but with individual settings for
each of the Redrum device’s internal channels. In the example below, we’re going to chain the two Send Outs from
the Redrum device to two send effects in the Main Mixer:
1. Create two extra Mix Channel devices - one for each of the send effects we’re going to chain.
In this example we name the Mix Channel devices “FX 1 Chaining” and FX 2 Chaining”.
2. Activate the Send FX bus you want to use in each of the mixer channels and also activate the corresponding
Pre-fader button.
In this example, we activate the Send FX 1 bus on the FX1 Chaining channel and the Send FX 2 bus on the FX 2
Chaining channel. The Send FX 1 has a reverb connected and the Send FX 2 has a delay connected. The Pre-
fader buttons should be activated because we don’t want the mixer channel faders to affect the Send levels.
3. Lower the “FX 1 Chaining” and “FX 2 Chaining” mixer channel faders to zero.
This way, the effect signals won’t be mixed with the rest of the Main Mixer channel signals in the mix bus, but are
kept isolated in the Send FX busses. Now, our setup should look like this in the rack and in the Main Mixer:
The device setup, plus two new Mix Channel devices added. To the right, the channel strips with activated FX Send busses.
