I would like to use the masterverb as an send effect, but
when I connect it to the AUX outputs of the mixer everything
gets quiet (all channels are quiet).
I wonder if I've connect the masterverb correctly to the mixer.
Here is a picture of my setup:

Is this the way it should be connected to the mixer?

Is there something else I must do after I've connected the effect
to the AUX and return connectionpoints ?

first of all, just connect Aux 1 to the reverb! the aux send is not stereo. then check if the aux channel is set to external (of course it is, otherwise you wouldn't have the send and return in the routing window). i'll check in a minute...

welcome :smile:

see the thread " AUX Sends and Returns -SFP Mixer" - I had the exact same problem and in my case was solved by deleting the mixer aand reloading a fresh one

Thanks Borg and fdumptch, I'll try you tips when I get home.

Well, this is my first post at this site as I bought my
Pulsar2 card just 2 weeks ago. So far everything has worked
very well (I haven't had any problem at all with the card).
The softsynths, STS samplers, effects etc have been much
better in quaility and performance than I'd expected
(I ordered the card without hearing it first!).
I've read alot about slow gui and other problems on this
discussion site, but I must say that I don't feel any
problem with the card at all (I'm using a P4-2.4G, 1GB-DDR).

Borg, I've tried to remove the mixer and
insert a new one, and it solved my problem.
Thanx!

Btw, is it common for all type of mixers that
the send effects are always in mono (is it that case
for hardware mixers also) ? I was planning to put
strings, pads and other background voices though
some send effects like reverb, but it doesn't sound
very nice to have strings played in mono ...
(if so, I think it the strings sounds more powerful
in stereo without the effects than with the send effects
in mono ...).

As I discussed with Subhuman long time ago, no reverb is 'real stereo', most of them are 2 mono reverbs.

The main synth outputs are still stereo, only the reverb in STM is sent in mono, it returns a stereo reverb by sending one channel to both mono reverb ins.

Using reverb as an Aux effect, activate the 'Mono input' and silence the dry signal!
