RESETS
With the many adjustable parameters and options offered with K-Mix, it can certainly be useful to store your
favorite settings somewhere and be able to recall them. Need to store multiple mixes for a show? Want to have
different mixer settings for your bedroom and your practice space? Are you in multiple groups that require
completely different mixes? That is where presets come into play!

ANAGEMENT
In addition to the onboard presets, the K-Mix Editor includes much more in-depth preset management.
Its
Preset Library can store up to 999 presets (though, only 12 can be on the K-Mix hardware at a time); it
can save, recall, revert, delete, reorder, rename, copy, paste, import, and export presets.
The editor’s
Preset Setlist allows you to select which presets will be loaded onto your K-Mix, and the order
they will appear in.

YNCING
The K-Mix hardware and the K-Mix Editor can send presets back and forth between each other. Do you
want to save some changes made to a mix while away from the computer? Want to share your mixer
settings with a friend but don’t have your computer with you? These things are possible with K-Mix.
When a K-Mix is connected to a computer running the K-Mix Editor, the editor can either
Send any preset
(in the editor) to any preset slot on the K-Mix hardware, overwriting its previous contents, or Receive any
preset from the K-Mix hardware, copying its settings to the editor (either by overwriting an existing preset,
or saving an entirely new preset).

UNING

ARAMETERS
K-Mix parameters can be tuned with precision via the hardware or editor.
Fine Tuning mode on the K-Mix hardware allows you to “zoom in” on a fader or rotary control, providing a
much higher degree of resolution than is present under “normal” operation.
The K-Mix Editor allows you to type in exact parameter values, giving you the highest amount of control
possible. Want your mid-band EQ’s center frequency to be at exactly 947Hz? Do you need your compressor’s
threshold to be at exactly -7.28dB? The editor allows you to dial in everything to your liking.
