Operating Manual - digiMIX18 Digital Mixer
6.4 EZ-MODE
EZ-Mode provides a simple and secure user interface for a non-technical
person to adjust basic mixer functions with ease, locking out most other
mixer controls.
►
TIP:
All signal routing, levels, EQ, FX, DCA groups, and aux1-8 sends
must be congured ahead of time on the mixer before using EZ-Mode.
►
TIP:
DCA groups and aux1-8 outputs should be named on the mixer
rst (sec 2.34) for easier identication. You can also add icons to a channel
by pressing and holding the button above any EZ-Mode fader.
Press the mixer's EZ Mode button to access EZ-Mode, or press the mixer
system button then EZ-Mode button in the touchscreen shortcut section.
There are two pre-dened EZ-Mode mixers as shown below. Select
the EZ-Mode mixer you want to use, then press <Go To EZ Mixer>.
EZ-Mode Mixer #1: (see gure 6.4b) EZ-Mixer #1 provides faders for main L/R, DCA groups 1-4, and aux1-4, with on/off
switch and icon for each fader. DCA groups must be dened before using EZ-Mode (sec. 2.16)
EZ-Mode Mixer #2: (see gure 6.4c) EZ-Mixer #2 provides faders for main L/R, DCA groups 1-6, inputs 17-18, and aux1-8
outputs, with on/off switch and icon for each fader. Before using EZ-Mixer #2, DCA groups should be dened and named, and
aux1-8 outputs should also be named (sec. 2.34).
EZ-Mode Icon Menu: (see gure 6.4d) In either EZ mixer, an icon can be assigned
to any fader to quickly identify its function. Press and hold the grey box above each
fader to view and select an icon from the pop-up icon table.
EZ-Mode Password: (see gure 6.4a) A password can be used in EZ-Mode to
prevent access to the full mixer while still allowing EZ-Mode control. The EZ-Mode
password is always the same as the mixer's password (sec. 5.4).
Additionally, the password can be used to independently lock EZ-Mode faders or
fader icons. The <EZ-Mode Password>, <Lock Icons>, and <Lock Faders> buttons
turn red when activated.
EZ-Mode is also offered on the Ashly digiMIX app for iPad for remote digiMIX18
control using a local wireless network connection (sec. 9). If a password is to be used
on the digiMIX iPad app, it must rst be entered into the mixer. Note that Only one
iPad at a time can be used to control the mixer.
►
TIP:
The iPad app provides the added feature of being able to use a user dened image or picture as an icon. (sec. 9.2).
