How To Achieve Short "Effect Shots"

[bassman24]

Hello, fellow M20d users :)

 

I was just thinking on how I can achieve a short "effect shot" on the M20d without having a sound guy turning the effect on and off or switching Scenes during a song.

 

I´m trying to do the following:

For one song I need a long reverb on my percussion kit, just for 3-4 strokes on the intro, then I want to return to "normal operations" or better said my normal global settings for the groove of the song.

 

I don´t have anybody who could turn the reverb on during the gig with the IPad, nor do I want to Switch Scens during the running song.

My thought was that I maybe can "route" the reverb to an empty Encoder/channel and then just unmute this channel for the intro and mute it afterwards.

 

Is there a way I can achive this with the M20d somehow?

 

Yeah, I know I can turn on and off the effect on the channel myself, but I don´t want to switch away from the perform screen. So, I need to find a way to push just a button or encoder on the perform screen to turn on or off the reverb for the percussion kit.

You could assign a group to the FX return. Double click an empty encoder in setup mode and assign the desired FX to the group. Then you can use the group encoder to control the FX.

Thanks, that´s the Kind of way I thought of. :)
