Issue 2

MX SUPPLEMENT
Slave
Mode
In this mode, it now
becomes possible to link-up 2 MXs for
the purposes of
increasing channel capacity . The maximum
channel capacity of MX is 48,
should
more channels be desirable, another MX can be linked
and setup via the MIDI
ports .
In the configuration shown, the 48 way MX becomes the
master unit whilst the 12
way becomes the slave . All controls on the 12 way unit are
inhibited apart from
the Channel faders, Master faders and Blackout switch .
EXAMPLE : - An extra 12 channels are required to supplement
scene 10 of a
production .
Procedure
1 .) Another MX is linked to the existing 48 Way as shown
overleaf .
2 .)
Both
MXs
should be set at MIDI NORMAL for this stage .
3 .) Set up the scene as
required using BOTH desks .
4 .) RECORD as scene 10 on BOTH desks
