Kill Send And Delay Millisecond - ALLEN & HEATH XONE:DB4 User Manual

KILL SEND EFFECTS
All Delays and Reverbs can be set to "Kill Send" mode. In this mode, rotating the Wet/Dry control
into the orange area labelled "KS" will mute the send to the effects unit, leaving only the processed
output to decay into the mix. This can be used as a dramatic way to mix into a new track, or as an
entry to a breakdown.

KILL SEND INTERLOCK
When an effect is in kill send mode and the Wet/Dry control turned fully clockwise, the effect ON/OFF
button changes colour from Green to Orange, and the effected signal decays into the mix. If the FX is
turned OFF the button will change colour to RED to warn that the safety interlock is active. The FX
cannot be turned back ON until the Wet/Dry control is moved away from the KS area. Without the
safety interlock, turning the FX back ON would result in silence as the audio send to the FX processor
has been muted (killed).
BPM / mS MODE
The delay time defaults to fractions of the detected BPM, set by the FX TIME encoder, however it is
possible to manually set the delay time in milliseconds by switching to mS MODE. To do this press and
hold the effect DLY button, and at the same time press the FX TIME encoder. The display will switch
from the current beat fraction to show that time in milliseconds. Rotating the FX TIME encoder will
increase or decrease the time in milliseconds, at the same time the beat fraction display will change to
show the nearest equivalent fraction.

KILL SEND AND BPM/mS MODE
Kill Send (KS) area
To switch the Reverbs or Delays
to Kill Send mode, hold down the
effect button, and at the same
time press the FX ADJ encoder.
The display will show when kill
send is active with a small "ks"
above the beat fraction.
Whilst adjusting the delay time in milliseconds, the beat
fraction will increase or decrease accordingly. This is rep-
resented by the fraction numbers shifting along the frac-
tion dividing line.
When switching back to BPM from mS mode, the tempo
will snap to the nearest beat fraction.
