X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual
Modulation Delay
Modulation Delay combines three of the most used time modulation effects
into one easy-to-operate unit, featuring true-stereo delay with a lush chorus,
topped off with three reverb models to choose from.
The BALANCE knob adjusts ratio of delay to reverb. The processor chain can
operate as serial where one effect flows into the next, or parallel where
each effect is applied to the source signal independently. TIME, FEED (back),
LOW and HI CUT all affect the delay. Modulation DEPTH and RATE are adjustable.
Three types of reverb are available – ambience, club and hall – with adjustable
DECAY and HI DAMP.
Dimensional Chorus
The Dimensional Chorus offers the most user-friendly and classic sounds,
best described as "space" and "dimensional". The 4 MODE buttons can
be engaged individually or simultaneously for light chorus or very thick,
exaggerated modulation. Adjust the 1st encoder to select mono or stereo
operation, and press the encoder to engage or bypass the effect.
Leisure Compressor
This model of a popular tube-based optical compressor provides natural and
effortlessly musical compression, inspired by the Teletronix LA-2A. Simply adjust
the input GAIN and PEAK REDUCTION knob to dial in the amount of desired
compression, then adjust the OUTPUT GAIN knob for the desired output level.
The COMP setting will give a gentle compression ratio, whereas the LIMIT setting
results in a higher ratio.
Ultimo Compressor
The Ultimo Compressor is based on the Urei 1176LN Limiting Amplifier and
authentically captures the smooth character of the original class-A output stage
in its FET's legendary fast attack.
Start with the INPUT and OUTPUT knobs at the -24 position for unity gain and set
the ATTACK and RELEASE knobs fully counterclockwise. Select the compression
ratio, then raise the ATTACK knob to lightly compress the signal. Increase the ratio
for heavier compression and experiment with ATTACK, RELEASE and INPUT levels
to achieve your desired result. Compensate for overall level reduction with the
OUTPUT knob.
Fair Compressor
This model of a Fairchild 670 delivers some of the finest colorations in compressor
history. Two small trim VRs, BIAS and BALANCE, preset the control side chain
action, a 6-step knob determines the timing, and the 2 large INPUT GAIN
and THRESHOLD knobs adjust the levels. There are models available for dual,
stereo-linked, or mid/side operation.
Combinator
The Combinator emulates famous broadcasting and mastering compressors,
utilizing automatic parameter control that produces very effective yet
"inaudible" results.
The MIX knob allows some of the source signal to pass through unaffected.
ATTACK and RELEASE have dedicated controls, and an Auto Release function can
be engaged. Global X-OVER, RATIO, THRESH(old) and GAIN controls are available.
Engage the Spectral Balance Control (SBC) to allow automatic gain balancing
between the audio bands and its SPEED control to determine how aggressively
the effect works. The meters can also display band reduction or the SBC gain
balance, and can display peak outputs. The THRESH(old) and GAIN can be
adjusted for each band independently.
XTEC EQ1
Inspired by the Pultec EQP-1a, this passive equalizer is a very powerful tool for
sound enhancement.
GAIN allows compensation for level changes resulting from frequency
adjustments. Press the 1st encoder to engage or disengage the effect. Select the
low frequency with the LO FREQ knob, adjust the amount of enhancement with
the LO BOOST, then adjust the attack with the LO ATT. The same adjustments are
available for the high frequencies.
XTEC EQ5
This Pultec emulation is a classic analog passive equalizer that offers very warm and musical
frequency sculpting. Simply select the center frequency for the 3 bands, then adjust how much low
and high you want to boost and how much midrange you want to cut.
