The replaceable crossfader is used to fade between the signals that are

assigned to its two sides A and B. You can assign the stereo channels and

sampler using the CF Assign push buttons

(10)

and

(65)

.

(21)

The

CF ON

push button activates the crossfader. When the push button is

not pressed, the signals of the individual channels are routed straight to the

Main outputs.

(22)

There are 3 Kill push buttons

(HIGH, MID and LOW)

on each side of the

crossfader which let you mute the given frequency range. In

Crossfader

Setup

(see Chapter 3.4.2), it is possible to activate a special X-OVER mode

that enhances the crossfader’s functionality in combination with the

Kill push buttons. For more information, read Chapter 3.4.1.

(23)

Press the

FULL FREQ

push button to remove any frequency cuts of

the KILL EQ

(22)

.

(24)

The CURVE knob lets you seamlessly adjust the response of the crossfader.

The

REVERSE

function allows you to reverse the configuration of the crossfader.

This way you can toggle between Channel A and B at the flick of a switch

(25)

REVERSE HOLD

activates a permanent Reverse function. The crossfader

fades between sides A and B in the reverse direction. This means that A

is now on the right and B on the left side.

(26)

REVERSE TAP activates a momentary Reverse function. This means that

A and B are interchanged as long as the TAP push button is held down.

The

BOUNCE TO MIDI CLOCK

function provides an automatic, quick crossfading

synchronized to the rhythm of the music (“bouncing”). The bounce speed is

determined by the MIDI Clock.

(27)

Press the

BOUNCE TO MIDI CLK

push button to activate the bouncing.

Once the push button is pressed, the signal repeatedly jumps from A to B

and back again corresponding to the interval pre-selected by using the

BEAT push buttons

(28)

.

(28)

The

BEAT

push buttons let you determine the Bounce rate, which can range

between one and 16 beats.

(29)

These LEDs indicate the number of beats you have chosen.

(see Chapter 3.5.1), you can configure the Ultramizer.

(35)

The

LOAD

push button lets you load the user settings of the entire mixer.

The settings that are active when the device is turned off are loaded when

the device is switched back on again. Read more about saving and loading

user settings in Chapter 3.5.2.

(36)

Connect the headphones to the

PHONES

jack (±" TRS connector).

(37)

knob controls the volume of the head-phones.

(38)

The

MIX

knob adjusts the balance between PFL signal and

PGM signal (PFL = Pre Fader Listening, fader independent pre-listening

of individual channels; PGM = Program, Master signal). When the

knob is turned completely to the left, you only hear the PFL signal,

whereas when turned completely to the right the Master signal is heard.

Between these two positions, you can adjust the mix of both signals.

(39)

The

PUNCH EQ

function helps synchronize two tracks. You can orient

yourself to the snare or the bass drum or both. Press the SNARE or

BASS push button to emphasize the selected sound in the headphones.

(40)

When the

SPLIT

push button is pressed, the PFL signal is heard in the

left headphone and the PGM signal is only heard in the right headphone.
