Effekt 1/2 - Dynacord PowerMate 2200 Mode D'emploi

The PowerMate offers two independently controllable, identically confi gured 24-bit
stereo effect units – FX1 and FX2. Each unit provides 99 program presets, which
are selected by the use of the UP/DOWN buttons. The 99 presets are divided into
groups according to their different effect structure, 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 studio or home recording applications. Program numbers 21 - 40 provide
mixed effect types of echo/reverb and chorus/reverb while the numbers 41 - 60 offer
different delay effects. The last group from 61 - 99 provides different fl anger, chorus,
and 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 (Large Hall 3 Bright) is selected for the FX1 while the FX2 unit is set
to preset 55 (Delay Mono 250ms). These two effects are similarly suitable for live
performances and recording applications. This is the factory-preset confi guration
that can be changed any time. For further information, please refer to the paragraph
Changing FX Start Programs.
The two effect programs are equally suitable for live performance or recording
applications and can be used separately or together. For testing, evaluating and
selecting effect programs, please also refer to the supplementary information form
EFFECT PRESETS, which provides detailed description of all effect presets. This
listing contains all preset names together with the corresponding effect structure,
fi eld of application, and frequency characteristics. Take your time to test all presets
and select the ones that are best suited for your specifi c application. Program
number "0" selects a Slap Back Echo, which is mainly for servicing and testing only,
and therefore is not included in the effects listing on the front panel. Also provided
is a FOOTSWITCH connector, which allows the connection of a footswitch pedal to
remotely control the FX units' EFFECT ON/OFF function. If your footswitch features
a LED – like the optionally available DYNACORD FS 11 does – this indicator will light
when the effect is activated (EFFECT ON).
Changing FX Start Programs
In the factory shipping state, the FX units start with the programs 5/55. If you prefer
different programs, you can change and store the new settings in the programming
mode. To assign new start programs, please proceed as follows:
1. Hold down the two DOWN buttons of FX1 and FX2 simultaneously while
switching on the PowerMate.
2. "Prog" appears briefl y on the display. Programming mode is now active. A
software-related side effect is that all buttons behave a bit slower than usual.
3. Release the two DOWN buttons and select the desired start programs.
4. Press the two UP buttons to store the displayed effect numbers as your new
start programs. The FX unit acknowledges the save procedure by briefl y
indicating "Prog" on the display.

25. AUX1/2 SEND
These sockets are meant for the connection of external FX units, providing the
mixes that you have established for the AUX/FX buses – the identical mixes
which are fed to the internal FX1/2 units. The level setting is accomplished using
the corresponding AUX/FX SEND controls. The external devices' output signals
can be send back to the PowerMate via the stereo return bus or using stereo
input channels.The AUX1/2 sends are designed in Ground Sensing technology
to prevent the induction of external noise, even when longer cables are used.
