OLED display:
Every time a footswitch is pressed in normal operating mode, a user-programmable switch name will be displayed in the
top half of the screen, and a pre-defined status message will be shown on the bottom half of the display.
Status messages will display
“Muted” or “Unmuted” in mute mode, “Low” / “High” in fader mode, “Tap?” while capturing FX
tap time, or
“Load: xx” in snapshot mode (where xx is the recalled snapshot number).
Programming switch name and type:
Each switch is programmed by holding down the switch during power-on splash screen. This brings up the menu shown
below, where you can edit the switch name (8 characters) and type (mute, fader control, TAP, or snapshot). This menu
also allows you to save your settings to non-volatile memory and reboot. To exit without saving any changes, simply
power-off the unit.
When programming, the footswitches are used to control your input per the legend on the last line of the display.
When editing the switch name, the following menu will allow you to select between any character in the ascii character
set. If your selected name is very short, you may want to insert leading spaces so it appears centered within the 8
characters.
Mute menu:
When
“Mute” is selected as the switch type, the following menu offers up to six slots for channels, busses, mute groups
and DCAs that can be controlled by this switch. When programming mutes, always start with slot #1 at the top, because
any slot programmed as
“empty” will automatically disable the slots below it. When done press switch 4 to return to main
menu. DIN X-OSC must be enabled in the XR18 Audio/Midi setup for DCAs and Mute Groups to function.
Fader menu:
When
“Fader” is selected as the switch type, the following menu offers up to six slots channels that can be controlled with
this switch. Each channel requires two entries (Low / High) with a fader level from
“-oo”
(Off) to +9.7db. This feature can
be useful when switching between lead and backup vocals, or providing additional gain for an instrumental solo. When
programming faders, always start with slot #1 at the top, because any slot programmed as
“empty” will automatically
disable the slots below it.
v3.2 adds DCA1-4 to the fader menu. DIN X-OSC must be enabled in the XR18 Audio/Midi setup for this to function.
