Eight Channel Digital Mixer with DSP Effects
Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex VM08.
The VM08 digital mini-mixer does all internal signal processing digitally.
The input section consists of eight analog input channels including four for microphones. The output section, in addition to normal analog outputs such as two channel stereo and a headphone output, also has S/P DIF digital optical output with a 44.1 kHz sampling frequency: and 20 bit quantization.
The internal buss is two channel stereo L/R, plus an independent Effects buss
(1, 2) and an AUX buss (1, 2).
In addition to each input channel, an EQ is also provided for the master output. The VM08 also incorporates high performance DSP multi-effects on two channels that operate by A.S.P. (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology*) exclusively developed by Fostex. This allows a wide range of equalizing and effects processing. All settings, including mix and effects settings, are stored in scene memory, and a desired scene memory can be recalled instantaneously. Although small and lightweight, the VM08 is a high performance unit. Please read this manual carefully before operation to understand all functions of the VM08.
* See page 18 for more details on the A.S.P. (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology).

<CAUTION>
If [Fader Fix mode], discussed below, in the [Setup mode] is set to [ON], no signal will be output even though the fader is moved. The [FADER FIX mode] is set to [OFF]. For details refer to [Setup mode] on page 27.
Mute of the various input channel/master output:
Mute ON/OFF of channels 1 ~ 4, 5/6, 7/8 and master output can be done using the CH ON/CH
SEL key. Normally, the CH ON/CH SEL keys for channels 1 ~ 4, 5/6, 7/8 and MASTER are all ON
(key LED is lit). Therefore, when the CH ON/CH SEL key of the channel you wish to mute is pressed, sound from that channel only will be muted (the CH ON/CH SEL key LED of the channel that was pressed will be extinguished). Mute ON/OFF alternates with each pressing of the CH
ON/CH SEL key.
Mute ON channel (LED is off).
<Useful information !>
In addition to operating with the CH ON/CH SEL key, mute ON/OFF of master output is also possible using the foot switch (Optional Model 8051).
In the foot switch functional setting is set for [Mute function of master output] in the [Setup mode] of the VM08, mute can be executed by stepping on the foot switch. For details on the [Setup mode], please refer to page 27.
<Useful information !>
In the normal mix mode, if the position of the INPUT fader/MASTER fader before switching off power is different from when power is switched on (refer to schematic below), the FADER ADJUST and LEVEL
ADJUST key LED’s (red) will flash. This is because the fader setting before switching off power is in memory, and the VM08 is indicating that fader and level adjustment is possible.
The fader position can be reset to the position prior to switching off power, and the level position can be deliberately set to the present sound volume setting.
* To return to the setting before switching off power:
Press the flashing FADER ADJUST key (It will enter the fader adjust mode). Subsequently, adjust each fader position by referring to [Fader adjust mode] explanation.
* To set to the present fader position:
Press the flashing LEVEL ADJUST key and the VM08 will enter the level adjust mode.

PRE/POST setup method for EFFECT SEND/AUX SEND
In the procedure here, the effect send and AUX send signals are setup for PRE (pre-fader) or
POST (post fader). In the initial state, EFFECT SEND 1, 2, AUX SEND 1, 2 are all setup for POST
(post fader).
<Useful information!>
PRE (pre-fader) means that the signal is obtained before the INPUT fader and is not affected by the
INPUT fader. POST (post fader) means that the signal is obtained following the INPUT fader and is affected by the INPUT fader. In other words, in the PRE setting, although the INPUT fader is at MIN, the EFFECT SEND or AUX SEND levels can be adjusted but in the POST setting, no signal can be sent if the INPUT fader is at MIN.

Model VM08 Owner’s Manual
Effect Edit Mode
The VM08 offers high quality ambient effects by employing the A. S. P. (Fostex Advanced Signal
Processing Technology), which is exclusively developed by Fostex. With the A. S. P., you can obtain an incomparably clean and high density Hall Reverb, overwhelmingly clear Room Reverb and wonderfully hi-fidelity Plate Reverb. In addition to these typical Reverbs, the VM08 provides not only various practical algorithms such as Delay, Chorus, Flanger and Pitch Bend, but some combinations of these are also available, e.g., Delay+Reverb.
* A. S. P. (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology)
The A. S. P. is an exclusive new digital effect processing technology designed by
Fostex. This method extracts maximum efficiency from the limited DSP power.
It achieves an overwhelmingly high density Early Reflection sound and wonderfully smooth High Dump response through the H. F. A. (Harmonic Feedback
Algorithm). Also, it carries out an elaborate reverb simulation with clear sounds through the H. D. L. P. (Hi-Density Logarithmic Processing), which eliminates the mutual interference between the numerous integrated delay modules and reduce the impurity and girt of the sound.
* H. F. A. (Harmonic Feedback Algorithm)
There is one of indispensable elements in the natural echo called “Early Reflection Sound,” which is usually sacrificed in commercial reverb products in order to reduce costs. (In practice, the Early
Reflection Sound means the very first reverberated sound that bounces back from walls, floors and ceilings of concert halls). The entire reverb sound quality depends on this Early Reflection Sound and how closely it can resemble the real echo. The H. F. A. is an algorithm that enables the effect unit to reproduce a clear and natural Early Reflection Sound by applying an ideal harmonic feedback to each delay module.
* H. D. L. P. (Hi-Density Logarithmic Processing)
The reverb sounds consist of lots of small delay elements combined in a complex way, which are produced by many delay modules inside the effect unit. In order to obtain smooth and comfortable reverb sounds, it is very important to efficiently organize the relationship between each delay module and minimize negative mutual interference. The H. D. L. P. is a technology which applies efficient logarithmic processing to each delay module, so that they can work in the most efficient way in order to eliminate harmful reverb elements and roughness. This makes it possible to establish high density and transparent sounds.
Before the partical operation, we will briefly discuss the effect functions here such as Reverb,
Delay, Chorus, and Flanger, which are integrated in the VM08.
Reverb:
The so called Reverb effect consists of various reflection sounds mixed together. For example, when you clap your hands in a tunnel, you will hear the sound linger even after you stop clapping your hands. This is the Reverb.
The sounds we normally hear in daily life have three types of sounds mixed together, i.e., “Direct sound,”
“Early Reflection sound” and “Late Reflection sound.”
The Direct sound means the sound directly reaches the ears from the sound source. The Early Reflection sound means the sound that comes after the Direct sound and has rebound off the wall of the tunnel up to a few times. The Late Reflection sound means that the sound rebounds many times long after the Direct sound has disappeared. Our ears normally hear the
“Direct sound” - “Early Reflection sound” - “Late Reflection sound” in the order.
Delay:
This is the effect to added a delayed sound to the original sound. You can obtain a richer sound or completely change the original source sound by using the
Delay.
Chorus:
This makes the one original sound appear to have many sources. The Chorus is used to widen or thicken the original sound.
Flanger:
The Flanger is one of applications of the Delay. This is used to create a sound like a jet airplane ascending or descending.
