MIC 1 FlexFX Send/Return The MP25's FlexFX Loop includes an analog insert loop for use with outboard effects processors. The Send and Return signals are on stereo unbalanced ¼˝ TS jacks. The Left and Right Send jacks provide auto-mono operation. Simply plug in one side for mono, or both sides for stereo. The Return jack provides similar operation. Plugging into either the left or right return jack sends the signal to both the left and right FlexFX Loop return channels. Plugging into both jacks separates the left and right return channels. USB Connect your computer to the USB port on the MP25 to send up to twenty-two channels of audio to/from your favorite multitrack mixing, beat-making, looping, sampling, and recording software applications. Install the MP25 ASIO (Windows) or Core Audio (Macintosh) drivers (instructions later in this manual), so that your computer recognizes the MP25. Digital Inputs The MP25's USB audio interface includes five stereo playback channels. Playback channels are audio streams from the computer to the MP25. Four of these five channels are D1-D4, the MP25's digital program inputs. Each of the four program strips has access to one of the four digital input channels using the Source selector on the program strip. The fifth stereo playback channel is the return channel of the FlexFX USB insert loop. Digital Outputs The MP25's USB audio interface includes six stereo record channels. Record channels are audio streams from the MP25 to the computer. Four of these five channels are post-fader record channels from the MP25's program strips. These four record streams may be used to multi-track record your set for post-production editing and mix-down. The fifth USB record channel is the send channel of the FlexFX USB insert loop. The sixth record channel may be used to record the Main Mix (default), Mic 1, or Mic 2. Select the record source for USB record channel 6 using the MP25 driver control panel on your computer. MIDI In addition to being an audio interface, the MP25 front panel is also a USB MIDI controller. The Zone Level, Main Balance and Main Level controls are the only front panel controls not MIDI enabled. See MIDI Implementation later in this manual. Power Supply The MP25 features an internal universal switching power supply that operates on any AC mains 100 to 240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz (most places in the world). All that is required when traveling between different countries is the appropriate power cord, which is usually readily available. 7
