A Sarcastic Statement
Hi there. I was going to pick up a Yamaha SPX90 used for a pretty good price since I've heard some cool uses/stories about it from some pros. I checked it out and it looks like there is only one input on the back, and then a pair of stereo outputs. So what I am wondering is, how you'd send stereo sources to it?
I'd normally patch a stereo fx box into my session (to mix in real time with) as if it were a stereo plugin on an aux channel. That way, I can send different tracks to it - like drum overheads (which I usually create a stereo fader for) or guitar bus (which I usually create a stereo fader for) or keyboards (which are sometimes stereo), etc. Sure, if I send a mono source like a vocal to it, that's fine, it will come back from the fx box as a stereo effect (if I've chosen a stereo effect on the box), but I just don't get how any engineers have effectively used this on ANY mix when it only accepts a mono source? makes no sense to me.
Can someone explain?
