5.12 Routing

The Routing page allows the analog and digital inputs and outputs to be
reassigned to different destinations. Select the group of inputs or outputs
you want to edit from the top row, then press the block to which you want to
reassign a channel.

5.13 Effects

The Effects page is accessed via the icon at the top of the main screen. There are 4
slots where various effects can be selected and adjusted to suit the application.
Press the folder icon to activate an effect block. Press Edit to select a different
effect, and press on the effect graphic to edit parameters. See the Effects
Descriptions chapter for more details.

5.14 Setup

The Setup page is accessed via the icon at the top of the main screen.
This allows the channel layout to be modified, a console reset, and network
settings to be adjusted.
Press the Edit button to reorder the input, aux and effects channels. To return to
the standard configuration, press the Reset button. To reset the mixer to factory
settings, press the Initialize Mixer button, then press Yes to confirm.
The scribble strips are also edited on this page. Press a channel's blank box to
assign a color and name for that channel. The buses and effect blocks can
also be edited.
This screen allows the configuration of your wireless network connection.
See the Network Connection chapter for details.
The Audio/MIDI tab allows global settings for audio, MIDI and monitor options.
The console operates at 48 kHz by default, but can be changed to 44.1 kHz.
The RTA can be switched from pre to post-EQ to monitor the effect of EQ
adjustments. Engage the 'Mute at Power On' function to avoid pops during start
up. When the Link option is selected, adjacent channels are paired together.
Aside from the fader settings being matched, the preamp, dynamics, EQ and
fader/mute/sends can also be aligned.
Activate the desired MIDI transmit and receive options for the physical MIDI ports
and the USB MIDI in the menu.
The solo options can be selected in the monitor section. Channels and buses
can be set to pre or after fader listen, and the solo bus level, trim and dimmer
attenuation can all be set.

5.15 Main EQ

There are 3 EQ options for the main and monitor buses: 6-band parametric,
graphic, and "true" EQ. These are accessed by pressing the PEQ/GEQ/TEQ buttons
on the right side.
This parametric EQ functions the same as the channel EQ, but there are
6 bands available.
The GEQ and TEQ types appear to be identical, but the "true" EQ compensates
for adjacent frequency adjustments. Most graphic equalizers have a multiplying
effect when several neighboring bands are boosted or cut, causing an
exaggerated EQ adjustment. The TEQ will have an EQ curve that is more indicative
of the actual adjustments made on the sliders.
