SCROLL WHEEL CONTROL: place your mouse above any knob and 
turn the mouse wheel to increase / decrease values. 

Individual BYPASS: click on ANY FEATURE LABELING to switch it ON 
(WHITE letters!) or OFF (GREY letters!). Very handsome feature to 
COMPARE your settings with the unprocessed signal, e.g. to monitor 
the METER TOOLS while adjusting / comparing your settings. Also, 
any bypassed feature of the bx_control will not use any CPU / DSP 
power.  

 

  OVER LEDs  

will indicate internal CLIPPING. 

RESET them by clicking RED LEDs 

o

 

bright RED LED: signal is clipping RIGHT NOW 

o

 

dark RED LED: one or more clippings have occurred since last 
LED-Reset. 

o

 

ALL LEDs grey: no clipping has occurred, signal level is fine.  

CLIPPING may occur by MONO MAKER or STEREO WIDTH use with 
normalized signals (0dB) because these functions may BOOST 
levels, depending on their settings (see 5 & 6 for details).  

In case of clippings occuring turn down the GAIN knob (10). 

 The upper LED is the MASTER CLIP LED. It will be “glowing” when 

either the L or R clip LEDs will show alerts. Reseting the master will 
also reset the other (L & R) clipping LEDs.
