6. Battery Button I.O. It activates or deactivates only the battery, so if used through supply or USB connection, the SX-I will turn on also if the button is set to “O”. Set to “I” to recharge the battery when the USB is connected. - Page 4 “All Ports”. 2.2 MIXER connection. SX-I can work with both MONO signals in one channel and STEREO signal in two channels. The attenuation’s configuration to use is -10db. In the following diagram is shown an example of standard configuration with SEND / RETURN from mixer to SX-I.
- Page 5 4.3 Filter It allows to filter in high pass the input signal in the SX-I. The command can be done rotating the potentiometer nr. 3 (see 1.0 front panel). When the Filter is set on zero, the signal won’t be filtered. If the potentiometer is at the maximum, the SX-I will process only the frequencies higher than 400hz.
- Page 6 In the Delay section the Delay effect’s setup can be managed, in the SX-I there are 3 different delays that can work simultaneously (see 5.4 Max Delay Time) and they have a personal setup menu. The maximum time usable of the 3 delays is 6.000ms (6 seconds).

Page 7: Tape Delay
Delay’s Time set up in 400ms. The maximum value usable in total by the SX-I is 6000ms and if you want to use more delays simultaneously it’s necessary to reduce the Max Delay Time of the first delay to free the Time usable for the next one, idem for the third delay’s menu usable. - Page 8 In the Reverb section the setup of the same effect can be managed. In the SX-I all the effects can work simultaneously. It’s possible to edit the “Amount” (the effect’s quantity to add to the source), the “Roomsize”...
- Page 9 In the Granular section the setup of the same effect can be managed. In the SX-I all the effects can work simultaneously. It’s possible to edit the “Amount” (the effect’s quantity to add to the source), the type of the granular sample (Pitch Shift or Freeze), the sample “Speed”, the sample “Length”...
- Page 10 8.2 Bit It allows to set up the intensity by bit of the audio signal sampling in output from SX-I. The command can be done rotating the potentiometer nr. 2 (see 1.0 front panel). When the potentiometer is at the minimum, the input signal will be the same as the one in the output and the sampling bit will be 16 the effect won’t be...

Page 11: External Sync
In the Flanger section the same effect’s setup can be managed. In the SX-I the effects can work simultaneously. It is possible to edit the “Amount” (quantity of the effect to be added to the source), the waveform time of flanger and the general “D/W”... - Page 12 In the Filters section the filters setup can be managed. In the SX-I the effects can work simultaneously. It is possible to edit the HiPass and LowPass cut frequencies and filters and the resonances.
- Page 13 12.4 OFF This feature is available in SX-I Effector / Synthesizer MK2 PRO version only. It allows to mute the input signal of effects, this feature allows to play the natural sound effects evolution until the end while the original input signal is active.

Page 14: Delay Mode
In the Mixer section, it is possible to change the gain value for the input and the output audio, it's possible to turn on or off the Noise Gate, setup Stereo or Mono, the type of the Delay d/w method and for the SX-I Effector / Synthesizer MK2 PRO version only, the Delay Type, Delay FB and Surround. - Page 15 In the Phaser section the setup of the same effect can be managed. In the SX-I all the effects can work simultaneously. It’s possible to edit the “Amount” (the effect’s quantity to add to the source), the frequency of the phaser filters, the oscillator frequency of LFO and the general “D/W”...
- Page 16 “Controller” menu (see 25.0 controller). As for every synthesizer, from the SX-I it is possible to add to the synthesis all the effects available in the effects’ menu (visible when the toggle switch is placed on the left, see 1.0 front panel).
- Page 17 “Controller” (see 25.0 controller). As for all the sounds synthesized from the SX-I, it’s possible to add to the synthesis the effects available in the effect’s menu (visible when the toggle switch in placed on the left, see 1.0 front panel).
- Page 18 “Controller” menu (see 25.0 Controller). As for all the sounds synthesized from the SX-I, it’s possible to add to the synthesis the effects available in the effect’s menu (visible when the toggle switch is placed on the left, see 1.0 front panel).
- Page 19 When you are inside the “Controller” menu, the SX-I becomes a MIDI IN-OUT controller both analogical and USB. It is possible to edit the used channel and this parameter involves the editing of the used channel also by Drums and Synth.
- Page 20 To activate or deactivate the Controller’s function exclusive of all the potentiometers, encoders and switch of the SX-I, it is necessary to keep pressed for more than 3 seconds the encoder placed on the right of the display. When the activation is done, on the display, near the midi channel, it will appear a “!” (exclamation point).
