Fx Presets; Fx Eq Reset - Mackie ONYX Series Owner's Manual

FX Presets

The presets section allows you to save up to six
settings to memory that may be recalled at a later
time. No more having to reset parameters upon
every power-up!
As was done previously, simply rotate the Studio
Command Control Knob until 'Presets' is highlighted
(first screenshot below). Next, rotate the knob
to switch between the six presets followed by pushing
the knob in to select it (second screenshot below).

As one might suspect by now, rotating the knob
switches between 'Recall' and 'Save' and pushing
the knob in chooses the currently highlighted selection.
Save – Select this to save the current settings
to the corresponding preset.
Please be aware that the new settings
will replace the currently saved settings.
Recall – Select this to recall the settings of the
corresponding preset.
The mixer comes factory-shipped with the following
six presets (which may be recalled later with a factory
reset, see page 32):
1 – Large Hall
2 – Medium Plate
3 – Short Echo
4 – Super-Short Slapback
5 – Alternative Delay + Verb
6 – Large Room

FX EQ Reset

A couple of pages ago, we were looking at the FX EQ
section. In addition to the changeable parameters –
frequency, width, gain, LPF and HPF – a sixth option
(located in the lower-right corner) may also be
accessed and selected: Reset
EQ
FREQ WIDTH
LPF HPF
Once 'Reset' is highlighted, push the control knob
in to reset all EQ settings. It is a convenient way to start
with a fresh slate.
Resetting any FX EQ results in the following
parameter values:
• Frequency – 1.0 kHz
• Width – 2.0
• Gain – ±0 dB
• LPF – 18.0 kHz
• HPF – 80 Hz
Resetting the FX EQ and doing a factory reset
(see page 32) are not the same thing and will
result in different settings.
Now that you're familiar with how to select an effect
and tweak the parameters' values to your liking, we're
going to look at the remaining effects, their settings
and their low, high and default values, starting with
the three reverbs (Hall, Room and Plate).

Decay – This knob represents the decay time of the
reverb. The range will vary depending on the reverb
chosen.
Size – This knob represents the amount of desired
reverb (or "the size of the room"). While the range
will vary depending on the reverb chosen, 0 means
no reverb and fully clockwise is max reverb.
