59 X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual 7.7 Effects Screen The effects screen controls various aspects of the eight internal effects processors. On this screen, the user can select specific types of effects for the eight internal effects processors, configure their input and output paths, monitor their levels, and adjust the various effects parameters. The home screen contains the following separate tabs: 7. Tap the 5th encoder to assign the selected effect to the currently highlighted effects slot. 8. Adjust the 6th encoder to scroll among the eight effects slots, to select one for editing. 9. Tap the 6th encoder to go to the edit page for the currently highlighted effects slot. 1. Home: The home screen provides a general overview for all eight effects processors, displaying what effect has been inserted in each of the eight slots, as well as displaying input/output paths for each slot and the I/O signal levels. 2. FX1-8: These eight duplicate screens display all relevant data for the eight separate effects processors, allowing the user to adjust all parameters for the selected effect. 7.7.1 Effects Screen: Home Tab The effects screen's home tab provides a high-level overview of the eight effect processor slots, giving the user "at-a-glance" feedback on what effects they have assigned to the slots, the console source and destination for each processor, and the input/output levels for each processor. To make adjustment on the effects screen's home tab, perform the following steps: 1. Adjust the 1st encoder to select the input source for the currently highlighted effect block. Signal path choices include: • Insert Send • Mix Bus 1-16 2. Tap the 1st encoder to assign the currently selected input source. 3. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the input source for the right side of the currently highlighted effect block. 4. Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected input source. 7.7.2 Effects Screen: FX 1-8 Tabs: The effect editor tab allows you to edit the parameters for the specific effect processor assigned to the corresponding effects slot. In order to more closely simulate the look and feel of the outboard processors that are no longer necessary with a digital console, the individual effects processor screen provides a graphical representation of the effect processor's real world physical counterpart. This provides greater ease of use to the user than a simple text list of parameters. To make adjustment on the FX screen's editing tab, perform the following steps: 1. Adjust the six rotary encoders to change the various effect parameters shown at the bottom of the screen. 2. Use the Layer up/down buttons to switch the rotary encoders to a second set of parameters for effects that contain more than six adjustable parameters total. 3. When the effect processor has been edited to your satisfaction, push the 6th encoder to go back to the FX home tab (or simply resume the mixing duties in general). 4. See the FX Descriptions chapter for details on specific parameters. TIP: For the Graphic EQ effects, tap the 1st encoder to implement the "Graphic EQ on Faders" function. This allows you to boost-cut the different EQ bands using the 8 console output faders, 8 faders at a time, with the relevant EQ bands displayed on the channel LCD screens. TIP: To configure an effect as mono input and stereo output, set both input sources to the same signal path. 5. Tap the 4th and 5th encoders to mute either side of the effect block. 6. Adjust the 5th encoder to scroll among the different available audio effects. Choices include: 1. Hall Reverb 2. Ambience 3. Rich Plate Reverb 4. Room Reverb 5. Chamber Reverb 6. Plate Reverb 7.

Stereo Pitch 7.8 Mute Group Screen The mute group screen allows for quick assignment and control of the console's 6 mute groups, and offers two separate functions: 1. It mutes the active screen during the process of assigning channels to mute groups. This ensures that no channels are accidentally muted during the assignment process during a live performance. 2. It offers an additional interface for muting/unmuting the mute groups in addition to the dedicated mute group buttons at the bottom of the console. When activated, the mute screen only covers the bottom portion of the main display, allowing the middle portion to continue displaying its usual screen content. To assign channels to one of the 6 mute groups, perform the following steps: 1. Press the Mute Group button to switch the main display to the mute groups view. 2. Press and hold the desired mute group button (1-6) on the lower right hand corner of the console. 3. While holding the mute group button, press the select keys of any input or output channel, on any layer, that you wish to assign to the mute group. 4. When you have assigned all the desired channels to the mute group, release the dedicated mute group button. The individual channel mute buttons will resume their normal function.
