Internal Audio Effects

The internal effects engine is located in the FlexFx Loop. This

allows assigning any combination of PGM 1, PGM 2, PGM 3,

PGM 4, MIC 1 and MIC 2 to an effect. The FlexFx Loop

supports recording, cueing and Main Mix level control of an
4
affected signal. This has several advantages over conventional

effects assignment.

Note: Individual effects are turned on/off using the effects but-
tons. The FlexFx Loop (which includes the two external inserts)
is turned On/Off with the FlexFx On button (off functions as a
loop bypass).
Six built-in effects:
• Filter • Flanger • Phaser • Hold Echo • Robot • Reverb
General Behavior
• The effect time is saved for each effect.
• Changing BPM for one effect changes the BPM for all effects.
• Tapping the BPM requires at least two taps.
• Changing the Beat multiplier results in an immediate change
in the effect time.
• Changing the effect time adjusts the multiplier for other ef-
fects so that the new multiplier is as close as possible to the
saved effect time.
Effects Display and Match Indicator
The effects display shows the current BPM, beat multiplier and
time for a selected effect. A bar graph represents the effect time
relative to its range. If no effect is selected, the information for
the last effect is displayed.
The effect time is normally a product of the BPM and the
Beat multiplier. If the left (<) or right (>) arrow appears, there
is an inequality between the BPM*Beat and time. The arrow
indicates which way to adjust the Beat to correct the inequality
and get the closest possible time. If an asterisk (*) is displayed,
the BPM*Beat results in the correct time as displayed.
For example, 120 BPM with a 4/1 beat multiplier would
result in an effect time of 2000 ms. If the time is adjusted to
a different value, such as 2097 ms, an arrow indicates that the
product of the displayed BPM and multiplier does not result in
the displayed effect time. For this example, 2000 ms is below
2097 ms, so hitting the < Beat button will snap to 120 * 4/1 and
change the time to its product, 2000 ms.
A flashing bar graph indicates that the requested effect time
is out of range. For example, if a BPM of 120 is used with a beat
multiplier of 4, the resulting time is 2 seconds. If the multiplier
is set to 16, the resulting time would be 8 seconds, which is out
of range. In this case, the time remains at 2 seconds and the bar
flashes.

Effects Synchronization
The mixer can synchronize its internal effects to a MIDI Beat
Clock. Tell the MP26 to track a MIDI Beat Clock by holding
the
button while pressing the
Tap
Clock mode, the Match Indicator displays a flashing "M." The
mixer continues to track the MIDI Beat Clock until the
ton is pressed or the
reception is enabled by default, but may be disabled using the
MP26 driver control panel.
The MP26 also sends a MIDI Beat Clock to the computer
that may be used to synchronize audio applications to the
MP26's BPM. This BPM may result from tapping the BPM or
receiving a MIDI Beat Clock from another ASIO or Core Audio
application. Sending the MIDI Beat Clock is disabled by default,
but may be enabled using the MP26 driver control panel.
USB Drivers
The MP26 includes high-performance, high-stability ASIO and
Core Audio device drivers. The driver allows audio applications
to play and record audio via the MP26's five stereo playback
and six stereo record USB channels. The drivers are designed
for incredibly low audio latency, eliminating perceptible delay
between control input to audio applications and the resulting
audible effect.
Applications may also connect to the MP26 MIDI Out and
MIDI In ports. Control changes on the mixer's front panel are
sent out the MIDI Out port. Some mixer features may be con-
trolled by sending MIDI messages to the mixer's MIDI In port.
Change the MIDI channel number for MIDI In and MIDI Out
messages using the driver's control panel.
The driver is available on the MP26 installation CD that is
shipped with the mixer. Better yet, install the latest driver from
www.rane.com/mp26.html
