Utility Button(13):
To access the UTILITY Menu, it's necessary to push the UTILITY Button (13).
If the CONTROL30 is already working on UTILITY Menu (UTILITY LED (4) = ON), each further use of the
button will have no effect.
Using the UTILITY Menu is possible to access the following functions:
Load Preset
: This function allows the loading of one of the 124 available presets, where the first 60 presets (1- 60)
are factory presets, and the presets from 61 to 124 are the user's configurable presets and all not initialized (Empty)
when CONTROL30 is shipped.
4.4. Operational Overview
Switching ON the CONTROL30, after an initialization procedure, the last stored preset will be loaded. Changes

.
will be lost
To load exactly the last preset configuration running before shutdown of the CONTROL30, it's necessary to store
these modifications using the STORE Function available into the UTILITY Menu. After the initialization procedure,
on the LCD will appear the first field of the UTILITY Menu and the UTILITY LED will turn ON.

Inserts
In the above figure it describes the situation in which you want to apply the CONTROL30 to a couple of chan-
nels arriving to a mixing console, in order to apply the desired dynamic process to single instrument's signals;
in this case you will have to use a mixer which features individual channel inserts. Insert jacks on the back
of a mixer provide a way of 'inserting' external processing equipment into the signal path. The insert occurs
after the input amplifier, and before the channel fader; essentially it is the same as connecting the source
(instrument or mic) into the CONTROL30 before the mixer's channel input. Usually, insert connections require
a special, stereo-splitting Y-cord to be connected, known as TRS connector. This connector has a stereo jack
which plugs into mixer's channel insert socket, and a couple of mono jacks (input and output) which will plug
into CONTROL30 via jack-XLR adapters. Fitting this kind of cabling will virtually insert into one mixer's chan-
nel the EQ process. Take good care in adjusting CONTROL30 input and output levels, in order to satisfy the
dynamics needs of both the processed channels. Do not use the CONTROL30 the effects send/return con-
nections found on most mixers for effect modules, as they could lead to heavy frequency response alterations.
Improper level setting when using a digital processor is the most common cause of noise and distortion pro-
blems.
The CONTROL30 may be connected to a mixing console connecting the unit directly to the channel insert socket
of a single channel that is to be processed. Another way of interfacing the CONTROL30 to a mixer or recording
console would be in-line between the output of your mixing console and the input of a tape deck or power amplifier.
This last setup would be used only if you wanted to process the entire mix.

Interfacing to a Mixing Console
The CONTROL30 can accept mono or stereo sends at all system levels. The input circuitry of the CONTROL30 can
easily accept professional levels while having enough input and output gain to interface with the low signal levels of
home recording systems.
