55 X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual
7.7 Eîects Screen
The eîects screen controls various aspects of the eight internal eîects
processors. On this screen, the user can select speciîc types of eîects for
the eight internal eîects processors, conîgure their input and output paths,
monitorîtheir levels, and adjust the various eîects parameters.
The home screen contains the following separate tabs:
1. Home: The home screen provides a general overview for all eight eîects
processors, displaying what eîect 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 eîects processors, allowing the user to adjust all parameters for
the selected eîect.
7.7.1 Eîects Screen: Home Tab
The eîects screenâs home tab provides a high-level overview of the eight eîect
processor slots, giving the user âat-a-glanceâ feedback on what eîects they
have assigned to the slots, the console source and destination for each processor,
andîthe input/output levels for each processor.
To make adjustment on the eîects screenâs home tab, perform the
followingîsteps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to select the input source for the currently highlighted
eîect block. Signal path choices include:
â˘î Insert Send
â˘î 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 eîect block.
4. Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected input source.
TIP: To conîgure an eîect as mono input and stereo output, set both input
sources to the same signal path.
5. Adjust the 5th encoder to scroll among the diîerent available audio eîects.
Choices include:
6. Tap the 5th encoder to assign the selected eîect to the currently highlighted
eîects slot.
7. Adjust the 6th encoder to scroll among the eight eîects slots, to select one
for editing.
8. Tap the 6th encoder to go to the edit page for the currently highlighted
eîects slot.
7.7. 2 Eîects Screen: FX 1-8 Tabs:
The eîect editor tab allows you to edit the parameters for the speciîc eîect
processor assigned to the corresponding eîects 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 eîects
processor screen provides a graphical representation of the eîect processorâs 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 screenâs editing tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the six rotary encoders to change the various eîect 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 eîects that contain more than six adjustable
parametersîtotal.
3. When the eîect 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 speciîc parameters.
TIP: For the Graphic EQ eîects, tap the 1st encoder to implement the âGraphic EQ
on Fadersâ function. This allows you to boost-cut the diîerent EQ bands using the
8 console output faders, 8 faders at a time, with the relevant EQ bands displayed
on the channel LCD screens.
