WELCOME
Congratulations on the purchase of your new M2000. We hope, that you will have as much pleasure using it as we had making it. The M2000 is basically two separate effect Engines housed in the same box. They can be used as such but they can also work together in a number of Combined configurations. The outputs of the two Engines are mixed down to a common stereo output. The general Control of the M2000 is accomplished by moving the cursor with the cursor keys; value changes are made by turning the Adjust wheel. The rest is simple. You select the area that you wish to control by pressing the function keys on the front of the M2000; i.e., if you want to Recall you press the RECALL key.

About this Manual

Many people in the music business have an aversion to reading manuals. We understand that. So if you feel like starting without reading the whole manual, simply: Plug & Play. You can always use the manual for checking out areas that you have questions about or if you want to dig deeper into the unit. Refer to the Table of Contents for further information. On the other hand, you might want to know a little more about the M2000 before you start pressing keys. The manual will take you step by step through all of the M2000 functions. If you want to read about a specific function, please refer to the Table of Contents.

The Help function

The Help function is another way to learn your way around the M2000. Simply press Help (Shift - I/O) and the Help function will brief you about functions in the current display. 5

Notes: To accomodate International regulations, we have also added a back panel power switch. You dont need to use the power switch on the rear panel. Use the front panel power switch instead. Remember to use the left input when youre using only one input. Pin 2 is hot on all XLRs (AES Regulations). If You are connecting the M2000 to unbalanced equipment, you must tie pins 1 and 3 together in the cable ends away from the M2000. We have reserved the two unused pins on the MIDI connectors for an optional RS485 interface. Therefore, if you are connecting M2000 to other equipment that use these pins, please make sure the cable is a 3-wire standard MIDI type, and not a five wire MIDIPLUS type. If you want to use the pedal input, be sure it is a momentary make type.

THE SIGNAL FLOW

Notes Regarding the signal flow: As shown in the block diagram signals are present on all outputs, all the time. The digital input gain circuit is capable of lifting the signal level. This is a very useful feature if you e.g. are feeding the M2000 with a DAT recording that isnt fully leveled to 0 dB.

RECALL + SNAPSHOTS

The Recall Displays
The Recall display is the homepage of the M2000. This means that you return to this display whenever you exit any other display of the M2000. The Recall display is split into two halfs, showing the presets of both Engines at the same time. Engine 1 is always the top half while Engine 2 is the bottom half of the display. If you want to have only one effect, use one engine and set the other in bypass mode.

Recalling a Preset

When you wish to Recall a preset, simply use the ADJUST wheel to scroll through the presets and press OK to Recall.
Another way of Recalling is to use the Wizard described later in this section (see The Wizard). The Preset number and the OK key will be blinking while you are previewing, indicating that the shown preset is not Recalled yet. Use the Cursor keys (or the other Recall key) to access the other Engine.

Combined Recall

The M2000 is capable of Recalling Combined presets, meaning a preset for each Engine in a combination. A Combined preset consists of two normal presets and the Routing of the M2000: i.e. by Recalling Combined preset 30, a Chorus will be loaded into Engine 1; a Reverb will be loaded into Engine 2, and the Routing will change to Serial (see Routing). To Recall a Combined preset: Press the Combined Recall key and scroll through the presets using the Adjust wheel. Press OK when you find the right preset. The Preset number and the OK key will be blinking while you are previewing, indicating that the shown preset is not Recalled yet. A Combined preset is made out of two normal presets. This means that when you return to the normal Recall display (the Homepage) the M2000 will display the numbers and names of the two presets that the Combined preset consists of. The Edited flag will light if the presets have been modified.
presets are available from the Combined Recall. Normal RAM bank: This bank can hold up to 128 of your normal presets. Combined RAM bank: The Combined Ram bank can hold up to 128 of your Combined presets (see Combined presets). The two Ram preset banks are located after the corresponding Rom banks. This means that you scroll through the 128 Rom presets to enter the Ram bank. For fast RAM access press shift and turn Adjust wheel one click to the right.

Snapshots

The Snapshots are fast Recall keys. Store your favorite presets or use the Snapshots as four compare keys.

With the Snapshots you are able to switch between completely different configurations with the touch of a single key. TAKING A SNAPSHOT: When you want to Take a Snapshot of your M2000 setup, press Shift and the Snapshot key where you want to store. RECALLING A SNAPSHOT: Recall of a Snapshot is very easy as well: Simply press the Snapshot you wish to Recall and the M2000 will change the whole setup.
The M2000 contains four different preset banks. Each bank can hold 128 presets. The four banks are as follows: Normal ROM bank: This bank contains 128 normal factory presets. The presets are available from Engine 1 and Engine 2. Combined ROM bank: The Combined bank contains 128 Combined factory presets. The

Input Selector Input Signal Sample rate: 44100Hz, 48000Hz or from digital inputs
Here you can freeze mix to 100% Select Status Bit output: SP/DIF OR AES/EBU standard. Indicates the number of bits digital output are dithered to. Automatically set to default value, when changing Status Bit.

Status Bit:

This selector changes the Channel Status Bits of the digital output between professional and consumer format. When AES is selected, the M2000 will output the professional AES/EBU standard, and when S/PDIF is selected, the M2000 will output the S/PDIF consumer standard. The defaults setting is AES/EBU but some digital consumer products refuses to accept the professional standard. In that case change to S/PDIF consumer standard. Example: If you are using a non-professional DAT machine as a receiver of the M2000 digital output, and you cannot make it accept the digital input, change the output format from AES/EBU to S/PDIF. NOTE: The different Status Bit standards do not affect the quality of the audio output from the M2000.
Select Input source Analog/Digital. Select Input type Left/Both. When you select Left the right input will be muted. If you are using two inputs you should select Both

Sample rate

Select Master clock 44.1 kHz/48 kHz/DI. When Digital Input is selected, the external Clock frequency will be displayed by the three LEDS on the left side of the Display. If the M2000 cannot lock, all three LEDs will be blinking.

Dither: Mix

The Mix is a global parameter. When Mix is set to 100% the Mix parameter of all presets will be 100% and no direct signal will pass through the M2000. Note that when Mix is set to 100% the Bypass keys will act like Mute-keys. When Mix is set to Mix, the parameter is adjustable.

The M2000 can output Dither from 8 to 22 bit resolution on the AES/EBU and S/PDIF ouput. The dither type is HP-TDF or High Pass Triangular probability Density Function. M2000 uses internal 24 bit resolution and 24 bit AD/DA converters. Dither should therefore only be used when the digital outputs are used (e.g. to a 16 bit DAT machine). It is recommended not to use dither until the final stage of a production, so if there is a chance that the source material is going to be dithered later in a production, do not use Dither.

LEVEL MENU

Press the Level key to access this menu. These global level controls should be set to optimize the performance of the 24bit AD converter in the M2000. The Level bars can be controlled individually or in common. Mark the level bar you want to control using the cursor keys, and turn ADJUST to change value. For common control the marker should be set between the two Level bars. Note that the Digital In Level is capable of +6 dB gain.

Auto level

Press SHIFT and AUTO LEVEL to activate function.
Send your expected source into the M2000 and press Auto Level (Shift-Levels) to optimize your Input level automatically. The M2000 will perform a measure for about five seconds and then adjust the Input level giving you about 6 dB of headroom.

ROUTING

Pressing the Routing key gives you the ability to choose one of six different Routings. Move the marker by pressing the Cursor keys and press OK to accept the new Routing. A small pop-up window will tell you that the Routing has changed.
Serial The Serial mode is a Stereo In/Out Routing. The Serial mode is very useful when you want two independent effects in the same signal path; i.e., from a Keyboard through the M2000 Reverb and Chorus to The mixer. Parallel The Parallel mode is a stereo In/Out Routing. Both Engines will work as stereo effects and their Output will be mixed down to a stereo signal. With this Routing, the M2000 can be used as two parallel effects on the same stereo source. You may also set the I/O menu to left input to get two independent stereo-out effects on the M2000 from a single send on the mixer. Dual input (Split mode) The Dual input mode is a Dual mono In / stereo Out Routing. Left In is always attached to ENGINE 1 and Right In is attached to ENGINE 2. Using this Routing enables you to get two different effects with separated inputs; i.e., connect Aux 1 from your Mixer to Left In and Aux 2 to Right In. You now have access to two separate effects with a common stereo output. Set the individual Preset output volumes to achieve the correct effects balance. 16

Dual Mono This mode is for Dual Mono In/Out Routing. Left In/Out is always ENGINE 1 and Right In/Out is ENGINE 2. The Dual Mono is very useful when you want to use the M2000 as two independent Inserts. Stereo When you select the Stereo Routing, the two Engines will link together to perform true Stereo. This means that the preset of Engine 1 will be copied into Engine 2 and the Edit pages will lock together. The Stereo Routing is indicated by the two Edit LEDS which will be lit simultaneously. Left and Right channel audio path are completely separated in this Routing. Preset Glide When the Preset Glide Routing is selected, the M2000 will perform preset changes by crossfading the current Effect and the new preset. This gives you a very smooth change of effects; i.e., allowing a Delay to keep repeating while a Chorus is being faded in. The glide time is located in the Utility menu (see Util/MIDI). Please note that only one Engine is available while the M2000 is in the Preset Glide Mode.

STUDIO SETUP EXAMPLES

Use two sends on your mixing console
Dual Input mode Lets say Engine1 is running a long Hall-type reverb and Engine 2 a short more ambient type of reverb. On Your mixing console youll now have individual sends for the two effects. And - not to forget - you are saving a set of return channels.
Create your own vocal reverb
Serial mode You probably always wanted to have a long bright reverb on your lead vocal, without esses hanging for seconds. Thats now possible. You simply connect a deesser and your favorite reverb in serial. The de'esser will cut away all sharp transients in the signal. If you want your vocal to have a unique livingness, or the reverberated signal to be slightly detuned, simply connect the pitch shifter or chorus in series with the reverb. There are numerous applications in this mode - try them out.
Two individual inserts on your mixer
Dual mono mode In the dual mono mode you are able to use two completely separate mono effects at the same time. It can be equalizers or compressors or whatever you can imagine.

Post Production

Stereo mode When running in stereo mode both engines are linked in stereo and both channels audio path are totally separated. This means that you can process Dolby Surround materials without destroying the hidden information. Use this mode when adding reverb to your recording.

In the Edit menu, you always move by pressing the Cursor keys and change values by dialing the Adjust wheel. Expert mode When pressing OK on the Expert line, the M2000 will enable you to access a detailed Edit mode of the Reverbs. Since the two different Edit modes (User & Expert) are not compatible, it is NOT possible to return to the User Edit mode. When Storing a preset Edited in Expert mode, the current preset will remain in expert mode forever.

Combined Edit

See illustration on next page The relative Levels of the two Engines can be adjusted in this display. The range is: off - 0.0 dB. These levels affect both analog and digital outputs. Move the marker by pressing the Cursor keys; change values using the Adjust wheel. The Engine Out Levels are identical with the Outlev. parameter in the Edit page and will, at all times, be corresponding with these.

Dynamic Morphing section

Dynamic Morphing
The Dynamic Morphing function is a great new way of interaction between your source signal and the Effect. When activated, the M2000 will morph between the two Engines according to your Input level. This is a function for quick seamless changes of an Effect. Think about the vocal in a ballad being soft and subtle during the verse and then rising to heartbreaking heights in the chorus. Now imagine the Reverb changing along with it, from a small discreet Room in the verse, to a Big Bright Hall in the chorus. Simply select the two presets in the current Engines and then activate the Dynamic Morphing function. Set the Threshold and the Speed of the Dynamic Morphing and check out the result. Morph direction 1-2: If this box is selected, Engine 1 will be active while the Input is below Threshold.
Morph direction 2-1: If this box is selected, Engine 2 will be active while the Input is below Threshold. Note that the max. level of the Engines is set by the Engine Out bars above Dynamic Morphing. The Dynamic Morphing is Stored along with Combined Presets. The Dynamic Morphing function is only available when Routing is set to Parallel.

GLOSSARY

AES/EBU Professional digital in/out standard, using balanced XLR cables. S/PDIF Consumer digital in/out standard, normally using coaxial phonotype cables. DITHERING Dithering is a method to optimize the quality of a digital audio signal at low levels. A small amount of filtered noise is added to the signal, giving you a less distorted low level signal. If you are using digital outputs, the equipment you feed determines the number of bits. A DAT recorder should always be dithered to 16 bit. PROF/CONS LEVELS Depending on which equipment you are using along with the M2000, you must set the PRO/CON parameters correctly in the I/O setup menu. M2000 Analog Inputs: Consumer range: -16dB to +10dB, nominal level = -10dB Professional range: -6dB to +16dB, nominal level = +4dB M2000 Analog Outputs: Consumer range: -10dB to +16dB Professional range: -16dB to +6dB The levels are either listed in the technical specifications or printed on the rear panel of the connected devices. DEESSING An algorithm that removes unwanted esses from a vocal material. SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MIDI COMMANDS Device-dependent MIDI commands, normally used for remote controlling machines.
