X32 DIGITAL MIXER Preliminary User Manual
7.7 Effects Screen
The effects screen controls various aspects of the eight internal effects
processors. On this screen, the user can select specific types of effects for
the eight internal effects processors, configure their input and output paths,
monitor their levels, and adjust the various effects parameters.
The home screen contains the following separate tabs:
1. Home: The home screen provides a general overview for all eight effects
processors, displaying what effect has been inserted in each of the eight slots,
as well as displaying input/output paths for each slot and the I/O signal levels.
2. FX1-8: These eight duplicate screens display all relevant data for the eight
separate effects processors, allowing the user to adjust all parameters for
the selected effect.
7.7.1 Effects Screen: Home Tab
The effects screen's home tab provides a high-level overview of the eight effect
processor slots, giving the user "at-a-glance" feedback on what effects they
have assigned to the slots, the console source and destination for each processor,
and the input/output levels for each processor.
To make adjustment on the effects screen's home tab, perform the
following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to select the input source for the currently highlighted
effect block. Signal path choices include:
•
Insert Send
•
Mix Bus 1-16
2. Tap the 1st encoder to assign the currently selected input source.
3. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the input source for the right side of the
currently highlighted effect block.
4. Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected input source.
TIP: To configure an effect as mono input and stereo output, set both input
sources to the same signal path.
5. Tap the 4th and 5th encoders to mute either side of the effect block.
6. Adjust the 5th encoder to scroll among the different available audio effects.

effects slot.
7.7.2 Effects Screen: FX 1-8 Tabs:
The effect editor tab allows you to edit the parameters for the specific effect
processor assigned to the corresponding effects slot.
In order to more closely simulate the look and feel of the outboard processors
that are no longer necessary with a digital console, the individual effects
processor screen provides a graphical representation of the effect processor's real
world physical counterpart. This provides greater ease of use to the user than a
simple text list of parameters.
To make adjustment on the FX screen's editing tab, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the six rotary encoders to change the various effect parameters
shown at the bottom of the screen.
2. Use the Layer up/down buttons to switch the rotary encoders to a second
set of parameters for effects that contain more than six adjustable
parameters total.
3. When the effect processor has been edited to your satisfaction, push the 6th
encoder to go back to the FX home tab (or simply resume the mixing duties
in general).
4. See the FX Descriptions chapter for details on specific parameters.
TIP: For the Graphic EQ effects, tap the 1st encoder to implement the "Graphic EQ
on Faders" function. This allows you to boost-cut the different EQ bands using the
8 console output faders, 8 faders at a time, with the relevant EQ bands displayed
on the channel LCD screens.
7.8 Mute Group Screen
The mute group screen allows for quick assignment and control of the console's
6 mute groups, and offers two separate functions:
1. It mutes the active screen during the process of assigning channels to mute
groups. This ensures that no channels are accidentally muted during the
assignment process during a live performance.
41. Fair Comp
42. M/S Fair Comp
2. It offers an additional interface for muting/unmuting the mute groups in
addition to the dedicated mute group buttons at the bottom of the console.
43. Dual Fair Comp
44. Leisure Comp
When activated, the mute screen only covers the bottom portion of the
45. Dual Leisure Comp
main display, allowing the middle portion to continue displaying its usual
46. Ultimo Comp
screen content.
47. Dual Ultimo Comp
To assign channels to one of the 6 mute groups, perform the following steps:
48. Dual Enhancer

54. Sound Maxer
output channel, on any layer, that you wish to assign to the mute group.
