. The 4 Subgroups, in turn, can be fed by the Main input channels and the Aux Return buses. In this way,
you can also record effect signals. The faders control the level of the signals routed to each Subgroup,
while the MAIN MIX button sends the signal routed to a Subgroup back to the Main Mix bus. Use the PAN
control to determine the signals position in the Main Mix stereo field. When the MAIN Mix button is up,
the PAN control has no influence on the Subgroup signals.
In live applications, Subgroups are often used to combine various groups of instruments and control their
volume with one or two (stereo mode) faders. The Subgroups insert points allow for processing multiple
signals with just one device (e.g. Compressor). The SOLO button and its associated control LED enable
you to monitor each of the 4 Subgroups individually.
The MAIN MIX fader determines the level that is sent to the MAIN OUTPUTS, which are available both on
¼" phone jacks and XLR connectors . The MX3242X also routes the MAIN MIX signal to the
2-TRACK-OUT cinch jacks .
2.4.9 Digital Effects Processor
Fig. 2.18: Digital effects module
A very special feature of your MX3242X is its on-board Effects Processor, which offers the same hard/
software quality as our well-known 19" VIRTUALIZER. This effects module provides 32 different standard
effects such as Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Delay, Pitch Shifter and various effects combinations. Use
Aux Send 3 (Main input channels) and the Aux Send 3 master control to feed signals to the Effects Processor.
Please make sure that the level read by the LED level meter in the effects module section is always high
enough. However, the CLIP LED should never light up.
The two buttons UP and DOWN select a specific preset. To speed up preset selection, you also
need to press the respective opposite button. Then, you can activate the selected preset with the ENTER
button . The display reads the number of the currently active preset. Its name can be found in the
preset list printed next to the LED level meter.
Aux Return 3 allows you to assign the effect signal to the Subgroups and Main Mix bus. Additionally, you can
use the Effects Processor for your headphones mix by routing Aux Return 3 to Aux buses 1-2.
