X32 COMPACT DIGITAL MIXER User Manual

5.16 Remote control

The X32 COMPACT hosts an Ethernet port on its rear panel which can be used to
connect and remote control it over a network via the X32-Mix on an iPad or the
X32-Edit application on a PC. To be able to do this the X32 COMPACT has to be set
up properly.
Press the SETUP button next to the screen.
Go to the Network tab.
Use encoder 1 to choose between IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway.
Adjust the address elds with the encoders 2-5 and assign the selected
numbers with encoder #6.
Set an IP address which ts your network, normally 192.168.0.X.
The IP address should be free within the network.
Set your subnet mask according to your network,
normally 255.255.255.0
Set your gateway, if required.
Now get your iPad or remote PC into the same network and open the X32-Edit.
PC:
On the X32-Edit, choose setup on the right side and the network tab.
Enter the IP address of the X32 in the network and press connect.
If the software has connected to the X32 you can also synchronize them
in 2 directions. Console -> PC means all settings in the X32 will be
loaded into the X32-Edit. PC -> Console means that all settings in the
X32-Edit will be written to the console.
X32-Mix
For the X32-Mix remote, open the program on your iPad (make sure the
iPad is connected to the same network as the console).
On the startup screen, a popup should appear. Enter the IP of the
console, press "Go Online", et voilà: you are connected and can control
the X32 COMPACT with your iPad.
5.17 Recording a 2-track directly with
the console
The X32 COMPACT o ers the possibility to record a 2-track of your mix (or any
other selection of signals) directly onto a USB-stick/external USB hard disk:
Plug a FAT-formatted (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) USB stick into the USB port
next to the main display.
Press the VIEW button next to the USB port and the home screen of the
recorder will show up with a nice emulation of an old tape deck.
On the con g tab you can select the source for the recording, default is
main L and R.
Press RECORD (encoder #5) to record your mix.
To adjust the volume during playback, press the Aux In/USB button next
to the fader section and adjust the volume with the AUX 7/8 faders.
Remarks:
Due to the FAT format of the stick, the le size will be limited to 2 GB, which is
about 3 hours of stereo recording. Please test the recording capability of your USB
device before you do the "real stu " as some sticks may not be supported or be
too slow. We also recommend you defragment your USB device prior to recording.
The recording will be done as 16-bit WAV le with the selected sample frequency
of the console.
Please also note that it is possible that the speci cations of USB storage devices
may be changed by the manufacturer without any change in physical appearance
or noti cation.

5.18 Saving and recalling scenes

Follow the steps below to save and recall scenes in the console, allowing di erent
con gurations to be recalled at a later time.
Adjust all settings of the console so that all elements of the mix are
as desired.
Press the "view" button located in the top panel's "Scenes" section. The Main
Display will show various controls for saving and recalling console scenes.
Press the rotary control labeled "save" to save the console's current
con guration to the next available empty scene and label it with a
custom name.
Adjust the console to the next desired con guration, and repeat the process
above as needed, saving additional scenes to additional empty slots.
To recall a scene, use the "prev" and "next" buttons, located in the top
panel's Scenes section, to navigate the scene list to the desired scene on the
Main Display.
When the desired scene is highlighted in the scenes list on the Main Display,
press the red "GO" button and the console will switch to the highlighted
scene. All console parameters will switch to the state they were in when
saved to the scene that was just recalled.
The console also allows smaller "snippets" to be saved and recalled for times
when you don't want to completely change the current setup. With this
tool, speci c parameter or channel lters can be saved, allowing them to
be recalled without a ecting the rest of the console status. Snippets can
be recalled separately from scene changes, or can be recalled along with a
stored scene. On the dedicated 'Snippets' tab, select the parameter, FX slot
or channel you would like to store for later recall, then press the 2nd encoder
to name the snippet and save. The snippet can now be loaded directly from
this tab, or from the 'Home' tab cue list. See chapter 7.13 for more details.

5.19 Using the Real Time Analyzer (RTA)

Firmware 2.0 has introduced a Real Time Analyzer (RTA) function for quickly
monitoring frequency band activity. This feature can be adjusted in many ways
to provide the desired visibility, behavior and response. 100 bands of frequency
resolution are displayed on the main display with a 10 second window in
spectrograph view, allowing problematic or feedback frequencies to be quickly
identi ed. The data can be viewed as a bargraph or spectrograph, and can be
viewed from the dedicated RTA tab as well as blended above each of the channel
EQ curves or 31-band EQs, allowing the frequency modi cations to be monitored
directly. In the case of channel and 31-band EQ views, the RTA will always display
the respective channel or bus frequency distribution independent from the RTA
source de nition. This allows the e ects of the channel or graphic EQ adjusts to
be easily monitored.
On the Monitor/RTA page, the 6th encoder allows the RTA input to be taken from
either a pre-de ned channel/bus, currently selected channel or from the monitor
source (main/solo). For example, when EQing the mains, a graphic equalizer
may be inserted in the Main LR bus, while the analyzer signal may come from
a dedicated measuring mic connected to an input channel. See chapter 7.3 for
more details.
