adjusted. If applicable, a tap tempo button is available to manually enter the rate
of delays or choruses. The button will flash to indicate the tempo. Click the Insert
button to engage the effect as an insert instead of side-chain. Select the channel
or bus assigned to the effect with the pull-down menu. See the Effects Overview
chapter for more details.

7.10 Meter Tab

The Meter tab allows easy monitoring of all analog and digital levels,
including USB channels, Buses, Ultranet outputs, and the Main and Solo buses.

7.11 Setup Menu

The Setup menu allows the wireless connection to be configured and allows
various global parameters to be selected and adjusted.
Connect Tab
After you connect your computer to the internal Access Point or external router,
the software will likely automatically recognize the mixer and ask to connect.
Once connected, a prompt will ask if you would like to transfer settings from the
mixer to PC, or from the PC to the mixer. Click 'cancel' if you don't want to sync
settings. The Connection tab also allows you to manually assign an IP address.
If you have firmware 1.09 or later, you can update the firmware directly from this
screen as well.
Note - save your settings to your computer's hard drive before updating
the firmware!
By default, a generic name, such as XR18-1B-10-F3, will be assigned to your
mixer. This can be changed to something more specific and recognizable.
The console can also be initialized back to its factory state, but be aware that all
settings will be erased. We highly recommend using the Save function to store
any important scenes to your computer's hard drive.
Access Point, WLAN, LAN Tabs
The Access Point, WLAN and LAN tabs allow the wireless connection to be
configured. See the 'Network Connection' chapter for details.
Audio/MIDI Tab
The Audio/MIDI tab allows various global settings to be assigned. The console
can operate at 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz. Mute the main LR fader before changing clock
rates as pops can occur.
Engage the Safe Levels function to automatically mute the outputs during a
power cycle. This is particularly useful for situations where the mixer is always
connected to a PA system or monitoring setup.
The Link Preferences allow specific preamp elements to be synchronized when
adjacent channels are linked.
The console defaults to "soft mutes", meaning that if a channel has been
specifically muted, and is also a part of a mute group, when the mute group
is unmuted, the channel that was specifically muted will also be unmuted.
Selecting Hard Mutes will cause a channel that has been muted with its
dedicated Mute button will remain muted even if a mute group to which it
belongs is unmuted. DCA Groups normally just control volume levels without
actually having audio routing through them. However, engaging DCA Groups in
the Mute System will enable channels to be muted via DCA group assignments.
The X18/XR18 has an 18x18 channel interface built-in, but sometimes
this is overkill for a recording session. For overdubs and simple tracking,
the 2x2 interface is more efficient and easier on processing power.
Various send (Tx) and receive (Rx) preferences are selectable for the
MIDI configuration.
Monitor Tab
The monitor source defaults to the main LR (post-fader), but you can select a
bus, aux, USB 17/18 or a combination of buses. Soloed channels and buses can be
monitored pre or post-fader. PFL attenuation can be engaged and the relative
levels for monitor and source can be set. Click the DIM button to enable dimming
and select the attenuation level. The monitor bus can be set to mono and can be
muted from this page.
