DIGITAL RACK MIXER M32R User Manual
langer + Chamber
Add the mind-bending, filter-sweeping effect of a state-of-the-art flanger to the
elegant sweetening of a traditional chamber reverb - all in one FX slot. Inspired by
the Lexicon PCM 70.
The BALANCE push encoder adjusts the balance between flanger and reverb.
Low frequencies can be excluded with the LO CUT push encoder, and the MIX
push encoder adjusts how much of the effect is added to the signal. SPEED,
DELAY and DEPTH adjust the rate, delay and modulation depth of the flanger.
FEEDback can be adjusted by positive and negative amounts. The LFO PHASE
between the left and right channels can be offset by up to 180°. The PREDELAY
push encoder determines the delay before the reverb affects the signal.
The DECAY push encoder adjusts how quickly the reverb fades. SIZE controls the
size of the simulated space (room, cathedral, etc.). The DAMPING push encoder
determines the decay of high frequencies within the reverb tail.
Delay + Chorus
This combination effect merges a user-definable delay (echo) with a studio-
quality chorus, sure to fatten up even the skinniest track. Uses only one FX slot.
Inspired by the TC Electronic D-Two.
The TIME push encoder adjusts the delay time, and the PATTERN push encoder
sets the delay ratio for the right channel and negative values activate a cross
feedback between the two channels. The FEEDHC push encoder adjusts the delay
high-cut frequency, while FEEDBACK adjusts the number of repeats. The X-FEED
control allows you to send the delay sound to the chorus effect. The BALANCE
push encoder adjusts the ratio between delay and chorus. SPEED, DELAY and
DEPTH adjust the rate, delay and modulation depth of the chorus. The right
channel LFO PHASE can be offset by up to 180°, and WAVE adjusts the chorus
character by shaping the LFO waveform from sine wave to triangular wave. Use
the MIX push encoder to blend the affected signal with the dry sound.
Delay + Flanger
This handy dynamic duo blends the 'whoosh' of soaring jet planes with
classic delay, and can be adjusted from mild to wild. This combination effect only
takes up one FX slot. Inspired by the TC Electronic D-Two.
The TIME push encoder adjusts the delay time, and the PATTERN push encoder
sets the delay ratio for the right channel and negative values activate a cross
feedback between the two channels. The FEEDHC push encoder adjusts the delay
high-cut frequency, while FEEDBACK adjusts the number of repeats. The X-FEED
control allows you to send the delay sound to the chorus effect. The BALANCE
push encoder adjusts the ratio between delay and chorus. SPEED, DELAY and
DEPTH adjust the rate, delay and modulation depth of the chorus. The right
channel LFO PHASE can be offset by up to 180°, and FEED (positive and negative
amounts) adjusts the feedback effect. Use the MIX push encoder to blend the
affected signal with the dry sound.
Modulation Delay
Combining echo and chorus (and in this case, reverb too) is the domain of the
Modulation Delay. By combining the two, you can get the best of both worlds
in one, dreamy-sounding effect.
The controls are separated onto two layers; layer one for the delay, and layer
two for the chorus. Use Balance to sweep between how much of either effect
is present in the output signal. Navigate to layer two by using the navigational
control buttons. Use the PAR / SER function to switch between Parallel and
Serial modes. In Parallel mode the input signal is routed both to the modulated
delay and the reverb inputs. In Serial mode the modulated delay output is routed
to the reverb input. (When balance is set to -100 there is no audible difference
between the two modes since in this case only the modulated reverb is audible.)
On layer one Time adjusts the time of the delay, whereas Feed controls how
many echoes follow the input signal. Lo Cut and Hi Cut are, as the names
suggest, low cut and high cut filters for the affected signal. On both, Mix dictates
how much of the affected signal is sent to the output bus.
On layer two Depth controls the depth of the chorus effect, Rate controls the
speed of the modulation, and Decay controls the length of time after the initial
signal where the effect is present. Damping reduces the level of the higher
frequencies in the output.
The type of reverb can be switched by pressing either of the third, fourth or fifth
push encoders.
