config
The configuration tab allows selection of signal source/destination for the
channel, configuration of insert point, and other settings, as well as configuration
of the channel delay.
The config tab of input channels 1-32 contains the following parameters
that can be adjusted using the six push encoders:
1. Turn the first push encoder to adjust the input gain (trim) of
the channel.
2. Tap the first encoder to allow linking of the channel to the
adjacent channel.
3. Adjust the second encoder to set the low-cut frequency of the channel.
4. Tap the second encoder to toggle the low-cut filter in/out of the
signal path.
5. Adjust the third encoder to scroll among all of the possible sources for
the channel.
6. Tap the third encoder to select the currently highlighted source and
assign it to the channel.
7. Adjust the fourth encoder to set the amount of digital line delay applied
to the channel.
8. Tap the fourth encoder to toggle the delay in/out of the signal path.
9. Adjust the fifth encoder to toggle the channel insert between pre- and
post-EQ/compressor.
10. Tap the fifth encoder to toggle the channel insert in/out of the
signal path.
11. Adjust the sixth encoder to scroll among the signal path choices for the
insert point.
12. Tap the sixth encoder to assign the selected signal path to the
insert point.
NOTE: Mix Bus channels do not have Gain, Low Cut, Phantom, Phase,
Source and Delay. But they do have a macro feature for setting all channel send
taps to the selected bus at once. As an example, this can be used for switching
all sends from Pre Fader to Post Fader or for ensuring that all channel taps
are consistent.
gate
The gate tab displays all aspects of the channel noise gate, and allows for very
deep control of the gate effect. Whereas the top panel's dedicated GATE section
allows control of the gate's threshold and in/out status, the gate tab offers many
more controls. This tab can be accessed directly by pressing the VIEW button in
the top panel GATE section.
The gate tab contains the following parameters, divided among two pages,
that can be adjusted using the six push encoders:
Page 1
1. Adjust the first push encoder to set the input threshold of the gate.
2. Tap the first encoder to toggle the noise gate in/out of the signal path.
3. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select between a gate, ducker, or 3 types
of expander.
4. Adjust the third encoder to set the attack time of the onset of the noise
gate effect.
5. Adjust the fourth encoder to set the hold time of the noise gate effect.
6. Adjust the fifth encoder to set the release time of the noise gate,
controlling how quickly the gate opens up and lets the signal through.
7. Adjust the 6th encoder to determine the range of signal reduction.
Page 2
1. Push encoders 1 & 2 function the same on pages 1 & 2.
2. Adjust the fourth encoder to set the frequency of the key filter that can
be used to trigger the noise gate.
3. Tap the fourth encoder to toggle the key filter on/off, allowing a specific
frequency to control the gate.
4. Adjust the fifth encoder to set the steepness of the EQ slope used in the
key filter.
5. Tap the fifth encoder to send the key source to the solo bus, allowing
the key source to be monitored and evaluated.
6. Adjust the sixth encoder to select the specific key source to be used.
Choices include 'Self' (the channel's own signal), as well as any other
input/output of the console.
7. Tap the sixth encoder to assign the selected key source to the gate.
