• Back on the EFFECTS page, press the PAGE SELECT right button to switch the
screen to the editor for the Ambience processor. The screen will switch to an
editor page for the rst processor. Adjust the rotary encoders to tailor the
eect to your liking.
• To apply the eect to assorted input channels, select an input channel,
then adjust its “Bus Send 13” knob to taste. As the bus send level is
increased, more of the channel signal will be sent to the Ambience
eect. Repeat this process with other channels you wish to send to the
Ambience processor.
To apply an “insert” style eect:
• Press the “EFFECTS” menu button.
• As the eects on the left side are also able to handle complex send eects
like reverb, the slots on the right side shall be used for insert eects like
limiter, graphic EQ, etc. You can also use insert eects on the left side,
but this will limit your use of reverbs and other processor-intensive eects.
• Adjust rotary encoder #6 to highlight one of the eects processors on the
right side; it will be surrounded by an orange outline.
• Adjust rotary encoder #1 and rotary encoder #2, selecting “Insert” as the
source for both the left and right inputs of the eect processor.
• Adjust rotary encoder #5 to select a specic eect processor, such as
“precision limiter”.
• Select the specic input or output channel you wish to use the inserted
eect on.
• Press the HOME button, then the PAGE SELECT right button to navigate to
the selected channel’s “Cong” screen.
• Adjust rotary control #6 to select the specic processor you have applied the
eect to, in this case “Ins FX 5L”. Press the encoder to connect the selected
insert eect.
• The Precision Limiter is now applied as an insert on the selected channel.
Sending more than one channel through the same insert eect is, of course,
prohibited. There will be a warning when you try to insert an eect slot that
has already been used as an insert on any other channel. Both sides of a dual
type eect can be used as inserts on dierent channels or buses.
2.6 Setup
The SETUP screen oers various controls for global, high-level functions of the
M32R, such as display adjustments, sample rates and synchronisation, user
settings, and network conguration.
The SETUP screen contains the following separate tabs:
global: This screen oers adjustments for various global preferences of
how the console operates.
cong: This screen oers adjustments for sample rates and
synchronisation, as well as conguring high-level settings for signal
path buses.
remote: This screen oers dierent controls for setting up the console
as a control surface for various DAW recording software packages on a
connected computer.
network: This screen oers dierent controls for attaching the console
to a standard Ethernet network.
scribble strips: This screen oers controls for various aspects of the
console’s DCA groups.
preamps: This screen allows the gain on each of the individual input
channels’ preamps to be adjusted.
card: This screen selects the input/output conguration.
None of the SETUP screen’s tabs contain a secondary level of functionality, so the
UP/DOWN navigation controls do no need to be used for these screens.
global
The SETUP screen’s global tab allows the user to adjust various global controls
of the console, such as display brightness and contrast, sample rate, and the time
and date.
To make adjustments in the global screen, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to select from the list of System Controls:
• Shutdown
• Reboot
• Update Firmware
2. Tap the 1st encoder to engage the selected function.
3. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the sample rate and synchronization.
4. Tap the 2nd encoder to conrm your selection.
5. Adjust the 4th encoder to select an item to initialize.
6. Tap the 4th encoder to initialize your selection.
7. Adjust the 5th encoder to change the currently selected gure for the
time or date.
8. Tap the 5th encoder to scroll through the entries for time and date.
9. Adjust the 6th encoder to change the LCD or LED brightness.
10. Tap the 6th encoder to alternate between LCD and LED brightness.
cong
The Cong tab allows a variety of global preferences to be selected. All of the
adjustments are made with just 3 encoders.
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to scroll through the list of preferences.
2. Tap the 1st encoder to conrm the selection.
3. Adjust the 4th encoder to scroll through the list of Link and Pan preferences.
4. Tap the 4th encoder to conrm.
5. Adjust the 5th encoder to select a bus pre-conguration scheme. Note
that individual channels and buses can be changed on the Sends screen.
6. Tap the 5th encoder to select the conguration.
remote
The SETUP screen’s remote tab allows the M32R to be set up as a control surface
for various DAW recording software on a connected computer. With its large
complement of motorised faders, the console can act as an excellent controller,
allowing the user to make level adjustments quickly and easily without using
a mouse.
To adjust the various remote settings, perform the following steps:
1. Tap the 1st encoder to enable the console’s top panel Remote button.
This switches various console hardware, such as the bus faders,
to control computer DAW software instead of the console’s internal
audio path.
2. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the specic control surface protocol
used,cin conjunction with the target DAW software. Choices include:
• Mackie Control: Use this protocol to control any DAW software that
is compatible with a Mackie Control hardware control surface.
• HUI: Use this protocol to control any D.A.W. software that is
compatible with a HUI hardware control surface, such as Pro Tools.
3. Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected control
surface protocol.
4. Adjust the 5th encoder to select whether the remote function uses the
MIDI In and OUT jacks or the DN32-USB card’s MIDI.
5. Tap the 5th encoder to conrm the selection.
