SD Stereo Recording
and Playback
Not only are these great mixers with some pretty
amazing features, but here you can also record the gig,
band rehearsal, house-of-worship service and more
to an SD card!
Formatting
– We know you’re an eager beaver,
all psyched to start recording, but let’s take care
of something very important first: formatting the SD
Card. First, get an SD Card; this could be a brand new
one or one you’ve had for awhile so long as it’s Class 10
or better.
SD Cards need to be Class 10 or better
to ensure reliable operation. If using
an older SD Card, it's a high possibility
that some samples will be dropped because the card
is too slow. We are not in the business of suggesting
what SD Card to go with, but choosing one with an
instantly recognizable, quality, trustworthy name
doesn’t hurt. Some examples we’ve heard of:
• SanDisk
• PNY
• Lexar
• Samsung
• Kingston
Even if the SD Card has already been
formatted via a different source, we highly
suggest formatting via the Onyx mixer.
In fact, never mind the “highly suggest.” DO IT!
Just follow the steps listed below:
These probably goes without saying, but we’re
going to say them, anyway. In order for the SD Card
to be formatted via the Onyx mixer, (1) the card needs
to be unlocked [side switch up, default]...
...and (2) the SD Card needs to be connected
to the mixer’s SD Card slot with the card's electrical
contacts down and facing the transport controls
(as seen below).

Locked
Granted, you might have a difficult time trying to
format the SD Card if these conditions aren’t yet met.
For one, it doesn't easily fit in any other way and for
another, the format choice will be grayed out and is not
available for selection, as seen in the image below.
• Step 1 — Enter the ‘SETTINGS’ screen by pressing
and holding down the FX [55] and SD [56] buttons for
one second.
• Step 2 — Rotate the Studio Command Control Knob
until ‘SD CARD...’ is highlighted.
• Step 3 — Press the Studio Command Control Knob
in to view the SD Card's information. ‘Format...’ is the
only option that may be highlighted and selected here.
Press the Studio Command Control Knob in again to
format.
This is a permanent deletion with no undo,
so a confirmation dialog helps prevent
accidents. Formatting will completely erase
the SD Card. Back up any files to a computer before
formatting!!
