FlexFX
e FlexFX architecture in the MP25 is more powerful than
typical eect insert solutions. e architecture includes the
FlexFX Bus, an auxiliary bus routed to the FlexFX Loop which
includes two independent eects inserts. Any combination of
PGM 1-4 and Mic 1-2 may be routed to the FlexFX Bus. Any
combination of external analog and USB eects may be applied
within the FlexFX Loop. It is possible to cue and meter the
FlexFX Loop return. You can bypass the entire FlexFX Loop us-
ing a single button to instantly punch in and out a combination
of eects. e nal FlexFX Output Level controls the level of
the FlexFX audio in the Main Mix. e exibility of the FlexFX
architecture makes it a very powerful tool. So, it is important
to take some time to understand FlexFX signal routing and
controls.
e order of processing in the MP25’s FlexFX architecture is:
1 Independent FlexFX assign for PGM 1-4 and Mic 1-2, or as-
sign all sources simultaneously with the Main FlexFX button.
2 Ext. Analog Insert, with Send and Return Levels.
3 USB Insert.
4 FlexFX Loop return Cue and Meter.
5 FlexFX On (FlexFX Loop Bypass).
6 FlexFX Mix Level control.
1 e FlexFX buttons in the PGM and MIC strips assign the
post-fader audio to the FlexFX Bus when on, and to the Main
Mix when o. is allows multiple inputs to the FlexFX Bus,
and allows drumming dierent signals into and out of an ap-
plied eect.
e FlexFX button in the Main Mix section assigns all PGM
and Mic channels to the FlexFX Loop, applying eects to the
entire mix.
2 e Ext Loop button engages or bypasses
the analog eects insert. Use the Send
level to avoid clipping the input of your
eects processor. e Return level allows
you to bring the signal of the aected
output back up to your normal mix level.
e FlexFX Bus is always output on the
analog loop send, even if Ext Loop is
bypassed. is means you may always use
the analog Send to record the dry FlexFX
mix.
3 e
USB Loop button engages or bypasses the USB eects
insert. e USB insert uses USB record-5 and playback-5 to
form an eects loop. Even when the USB insert is bypassed,
the audio from the external analog loop is sent to the USB
Send. erefore, when the analog loop is bypassed, USB re-
cord-5 can serve as an audio output for recording the FlexFX
mix on your computer.
4 e FlexFX Cue and Meter are located at the return of the
FlexFX Loop, after the analog and USB inserts and before the
FlexFX ON switch. is allows cuing the FlexFX mix and
any applied eects before they are heard in the Main Mix.
5 e FlexFX On button toggles between wet and dry versions of
the FlexFX mix. When this switch is o, the FlexFX Loop is
bypassed and the dry FlexFX mix is routed to the Main Mix.
is allows applying and cueing any combination of eects
in the FlexFX Loop before hearing those eects in the Main
Mix. When you’re ready to listen to the aected audio, engage
the FlexFX On button (green) and the wet signal is applied to
the Main Mix (as long as the FlexFX Level is up).
6 e FlexFX Level controls the level of the FlexFX audio in the
Main Mix. Turn down the FlexFX Level to keep the FlexFX
audio out of the Main Mix. en, you can Cue the FlexFX
mix and eects. When the mix is correct and the eects are
set up, turn up the FlexFX Level to bring the FlexFX mix into
the Main Mix.
