X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual

7.7 Effects Screen

The effects screen controls various aspects of the eight internal effects

processors. On this screen, the user can select specific types of effects for

the eight internal effects processors, configure their input and output paths,

monitor their levels, and adjust the various effects parameters.
The home screen contains the following separate tabs:
1. Home: The home screen provides a general overview for all eight effects

processors, displaying what effect 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 effects processors, allowing the user to adjust all parameters for

the selected effect.

7.7.1 Effects Screen: Home Tab
The effects screen’s home tab provides a high-level overview of the eight effect

processor slots, giving the user “at-a-glance” feedback on what effects they

have assigned to the slots, the console source and destination for each processor,

and the input/output levels for each processor.
To make adjustment on the effects screen’s home tab, perform the

following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to select the input source for the currently highlighted

effect block. Signal path choices include:

Insert Send

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 effect block.

4. Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected input source.
TIP: To configure an effect as mono input and stereo output, set both input

sources to the same signal path.

5. Adjust the 5th encoder to scroll among the different available audio effects.

Choices include:

6. Tap the 5th encoder to assign the selected effect to the currently highlighted

effects slot.

7. Adjust the 6th encoder to scroll among the eight effects slots, to select one

for editing.

8. Tap the 6th encoder to go to the edit page for the currently highlighted

effects slot.

7.7.2 Effects Screen: FX 1-8 Tabs:
The effect editor tab allows you to edit the parameters for the specific effect

processor assigned to the corresponding effects 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 effects

processor screen provides a graphical representation of the effect processor’s 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 screen’s editing tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the six rotary encoders to change the various effect 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 effects that contain more than six adjustable

parameters total.

3. When the effect 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 specific parameters.
TIP: For the Graphic EQ effects, tap the 1st encoder to implement the “Graphic EQ

on Faders” function. This allows you to boost-cut the different EQ bands using the

8 console output faders, 8 faders at a time, with the relevant EQ bands displayed

on the channel LCD screens.
