and effort expended in patching devices into the signal chain and assures the maximum possible
audio quality. Each channel has a separately programmable delay with adjustment of delay time,
direct/effect and regeneration. The maximum delay time for each channel is 1.2 seconds,
adjustable with coarse and fine controls with resolution down to a single sample. The delay can
be displayed as time, samples, distance (both feet/inches and metres) and beats per minutes.
The delay length can also be set using tap tempo, where the system automatically calculates the
delay required to match musical periods.
The delay is designed to be used both as a creative effect, for example a slap-back echo or to
free assign
compensate for timing between different microphone positions.
Free Assign Area & Dynamics Panel – Side Chain setting
The dynamics section also has a side-chain EQ with two fully parametric bands. This EQ can be used for frequency
conscious dynamics processing (de-essing, for example) and/or it can be inserted into the channel signal path,
making a total of seven, fully parametric EQ bands available for each Full channel.
Programmable Delay
One of the major features of the OXF-R3 is its channel
delay function that allows highly sophisticated digital delay
effects to be created individually for each channel, freeing
external processing devices for other tasks. This delay also reduces the time

MIDI control interface
Recording and mixing complex projects invariably requires extensive use of outboard signal processing
devices and many of these devices have MIDI control interfacing. The OXF-R3 can control MIDI devices
directly from the Free Assign Panel. This allows the operator to remain in the critical listen area while
adjusting external devices. Dynamic adjustments can be saved, recalled and edited along with the rest of the
automation data.
