DIGITAL RACK MIXER M32R User Manual
•
Back on the EFFECTS page, press the PAGE SELECT right button to switch the
screen to the editor for the Ambience processor. The screen will switch to an
editor page for the first processor. Adjust the rotary encoders to tailor the
effect to your liking.
•
To apply the effect to assorted input channels, select an input channel,
then adjust its “Bus Send 13” knob to taste. As the bus send level is
increased, more of the channel signal will be sent to the Ambience
effect. Repeat this process with other channels you wish to send to the
Ambience processor.
To apply an “insert” style effect:
•
Press the “EFFECTS” menu button.
•
As the effects on the left side are also able to handle complex send effects
like reverb, the slots on the right side shall be used for insert effects like
limiter, graphic EQ, etc. You can also use insert effects on the left side,
but this will limit your use of reverbs and other processor-intensive effects.
•
Adjust rotary encoder #6 to highlight one of the effects processors on the
right side; it will be surrounded by an orange outline.
•
Adjust rotary encoder #1 and rotary encoder #2, selecting “Insert” as the
source for both the left and right inputs of the effect processor.
•
Adjust rotary encoder #5 to select a specific effect processor, such as
“precision limiter”.
•
Select the specific input or output channel you wish to use the inserted
effect on.
•
Press the HOME button, then the PAGE SELECT right button to navigate to
the selected channel’s “Config” screen.
•
Adjust rotary control #6 to select the specific processor you have applied the
effect to, in this case “Ins FX 5L”. Press the encoder to connect the selected
insert effect.
•
The Precision Limiter is now applied as an insert on the selected channel.
Sending more than one channel through the same insert effect is, of course,
prohibited. There will be a warning when you try to insert an effect slot that
has already been used as an insert on any other channel. Both sides of a dual
type effect can be used as inserts on different channels or buses.
2.6 Setup
The
SETUP
screen offers various controls for global, high-level functions of the
M32R, such as display adjustments, sample rates and synchronisation, user
settings, and network configuration.
The
SETUP
screen contains the following separate tabs:
global:
This screen offers adjustments for various global preferences of
how the console operates.
config:
This screen offers adjustments for sample rates and
synchronisation, as well as configuring high-level settings for signal
path buses.
remote
: This screen offers different controls for setting up the console
as a control surface for various DAW recording software packages on a
connected computer.
network:
This screen offers different controls for attaching the console
to a standard Ethernet network.
scribble strips:
This screen offers controls for various aspects of the
console’s DCA groups.
preamps:
This screen allows the gain on each of the individual input
channels’ preamps to be adjusted.
card:
This screen selects the input/output configuration.
None of the
SETUP
screen’s tabs contain a secondary level of functionality, so the
UP/DOWN navigation controls do no need to be used for these screens.
global
The
SETUP
screen’s
global
tab allows the user to adjust various global controls
of the console, such as display brightness and contrast, sample rate, and the time
and date.
To make adjustments in the global screen, perform the following steps:
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to select from the list of System Controls:
•
Shutdown
•
Reboot
•
Update Firmware
2. Tap the 1st encoder to engage the selected function.
3. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the sample rate and synchronization.
4. Tap the 2nd encoder to confirm your selection.
5. Adjust the 4th encoder to select an item to initialize.
6. Tap the 4th encoder to initialize your selection.
7. Adjust the 5th encoder to change the currently selected figure for the
time or date.
8. Tap the 5th encoder to scroll through the entries for time and date.
9. Adjust the 6th encoder to change the LCD or LED brightness.
10. Tap the 6th encoder to alternate between LCD and LED brightness.
config
The Config tab allows a variety of global preferences to be selected. All of the
adjustments are made with just 3 encoders.
1. Adjust the 1st encoder to scroll through the list of preferences.
2. Tap the 1st encoder to confirm the selection.
3. Adjust the 4th encoder to scroll through the list of Link and Pan preferences.
4. Tap the 4th encoder to confirm.
5. Adjust the 5th encoder to select a bus pre-configuration scheme. Note
that individual channels and buses can be changed on the Sends screen.
6. Tap the 5th encoder to select the configuration.
remote
The
SETUP
screen’s
remote
tab allows the M32R to be set up as a control surface
for various DAW recording software on a connected computer. With its large
complement of motorised faders, the console can act as an excellent controller,
allowing the user to make level adjustments quickly and easily without using
a mouse.
To adjust the various remote settings, perform the following steps:
1. Tap the 1st encoder to enable the console’s top panel Remote button.
This switches various console hardware, such as the bus faders,
to control computer DAW software instead of the console’s internal
audio path.
2. Adjust the 2nd encoder to select the specific control surface protocol
used,cin conjunction with the target DAW software. Choices include:
•
Mackie Control: Use this protocol to control any DAW software that
is compatible with a Mackie Control hardware control surface.
•
HUI: Use this protocol to control any D.A.W. software that is
compatible with a HUI hardware control surface, such as Pro Tools.
3. Tap the 2nd encoder to assign the currently selected control
surface protocol.
4. Adjust the 5th encoder to select whether the remote function uses the
MIDI In and OUT jacks or the DN32-USB card’s MIDI.
5. Tap the 5th encoder to confirm the selection.
