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

THE FRONT PANEL

Notes:
To accomodate International regulations, we have also added a back panel power switch.
You don’t need to use the power switch on the rear panel. Use the front panel power switch instead.
Remember to use the left input when you’re using only one input.
Pin 2 is »hot« on all XLR’s (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 isn´t fully leveled to 0 dB.

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.
Primary

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.

Using a Memory Card:
When you wish to use a Memory card, simply insert the Card in
the M2000. The M2000 will now autodetect your card and the
Store, Recall and Snapshot facilities will be attached to the
Memory card. The M2000 will now use the Memory Card as a
normal RAM bank. When you remove your Memory card the
M2000 will switch back to the internal RAM.
If the format of the Memory card is not correct, the M2000 will
detect this immediately.

I/O
Press the I/O key to setup various I/O parameters.
Move the marker using the Cursor keys and turn the ADJUST
wheel to change values.
Input
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 LED’s will be blinking.
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.
Press the I/O key to setup various I/O parameters.
Move the marker using the Cursor keys and turn the ADJUST wheel to change values.
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.
Dither:
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.

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.
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.
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.

STUDIO SETUP EXAMPLES
Use two sends on your mixing console
Dual Input mode
Let’s say Engine1 is running a long Hall-type reverb and Engine 2 a short more ambient type
of reverb. On Your mixing console you’ll 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. That’s now possible. You simply connect a »de’esser« 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.

Pedal
Ihe Pedal input can control any one of four different features:
Engine I Bypass, Engine 2 Bypass, Engine 1+2 Bypass Tap
Select by tuming the Adjust Wheel.

ap Tempo
The Tap Tempo key is similar to its cousin “Learn” on the TC
2290 Digital Delay. Only the M2000 Tap Tempo key can control
various parameters: Delay time, Decay time, Chorus speed, etc.
When you press the Tap key, a Tempo menu pops up. If no further
actions are made, the Tempo menu will disappear after a few seconds.
The Tap key is attached to a default parameter in each effect type.
This means that the function of the Tap key changes along with
the presets (See default list later in this section).
The Tempo Menu
The Tempo you tap is always measured in BPM (Beats Per
Minute). The Tempo menu is able to recalculate the tapped time
into Subdivisions of the BPM. Simply set the Tempo menu to the
Subdivision you like and Tap the BPM on the Tap Tempo key.
You also have the possibility of changing the Tempo using the
BPM parameter in the Tempo menu. When a preset has been
“Tapped”, the parameter attached to the Tap function will be displayed in BPM in the Tempo Menu.
Tempo BPM
The BPM will display the Tapped tempo (BPM is equal to the 1/4
Subdivision). You can also set your Tempo with this parameter
using the ADJUST wheel.
Subdivision
Sets the subdivision of the Tempo. If the Subdivision is set to 1/8,
the actual Tempo will be twice as fast as the tapped time, etc. The
following subdivisions are possible:
1,1/2,1/4,1/4T,1/8,1/8T,1/16,1/16T,1/32,1/32T (T for triplets).
Tap/Subdivision
This is read only parameters displaying the tapped time and the
Subdivided time in milliseconds. Tap Time Subdivision is corresponding to the parameter in your preset.

When set to Manual, you must select the desired Note using the
ADJUST wheel.
In the Master section, you can Calibrate the Tuners default, 440-
445 Hz.
The detected note will be shown in the lower right corner and in
the note line. When the horizontal marker is 0, you are tuned in.
The two tuning guides will tell you wether the note is too flat or
too sharp.
Press any key to exit Tuner

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.

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.

Troubleshooting

• Need help about the current screen: Use the Help function (Shift – I/O) to get brief information about functions in the current display.
• Device may be locked: If Security Lock is enabled, you must enter the PIN code shown on the security prompt. If you forgot it, enter the Reset page to release the unit from the locked state (no reset functions must be run).
• Output is unexpectedly muted: If you are in the Tuner screen, outputs are muted while tuning.
• Memory card issues: If the format of the inserted PC-card is not correct, the M2000 will detect this immediately. When a valid card is inserted, Store/Recall/Snapshots attach to the memory card and the card is used as a normal RAM bank.
