Operating Manual - digiMIX18 Digital Mixer
2.23 LED Faders/Meters Select Button
This button is used to toggle the input LED bars (
sec. 2.2
) to either indicate the current signal levels of all channels, or show the
current fader position of all channels. The button is lit when showing the current fader positions.
2.24 Pan Control
The pan control is dedicated to fading signals from left to right in the main L/R mix. It is also used for Crossfade mode (
sec. 6.6
)
to quickly fade between any two assigned channels. Its stereo position for the selected channel is displayed on the touchscreen.
2.25 Bypass Button
Press the bypass button from within the PEQ, GEQ, Exp/Gate, or Comp/Lim DSP function to disable that function for the currently
selected channel. This is useful for comparing signal with and without individual DSP processing elements. Pressing the bypass
button from the Channel screen turns only the PEQ function on and off.
2.26 Mixer/Long Faders Select Button
This button toggles between the two mixer displays, one showing every mixer input and output (mixer mode), the other showing
groups of eight channels with longer faders (long fader mode). Channel names are shown in long fader mode. To edit a channel
name, press the fader name button below the touchscreen, then use the pop-up touchscreen keyboard to enter a name.
If Crossfade mode is active (
sec. 6.6
), pressing this button will toggle through both mixer display modes, as well as Crossfade mode.
2.27 Adjust Parameter Control
This control is typically used to adjust the currently active or highlighted DSP parameter within the touchscreen display. It may
also work together with other controls depending on the currently active function.
2.28 Flat Button
Press this button to flatten the PEQ, GEQ, Exp/Gate, or Comp/Lim settings on the currently selected channel.
2.29 Enter (Tap) Button
This button has two functions. The first is to offer a "Yes" response any time the touchscreen prompts for yes or no answer. For
example, after pressing the flat button when the touchscreen asks "Reset EQ curve to flat?", you can tap "Yes" on the touchscreen
or press the Enter button.
The second function is to manually set an FX delay time to match the beat of the music, also referred to as "tap delay". Press the FX1
or FX2 button and select Delay as the effect type. Set the delay time by pressing the TAP button at the start and end of the desired
delay time. Maximum tap delay is 1200ms.
2.30 System Buttons
The system button opens the touchscreen display to a variety of utility controls including EZ-mode (
sec. 6.4
), cross-fade mode (
sec.
6.6
), automix channel assign (
sec. 6.5
), LCD brightness, fader speed calibration, password/security functions, restore default settings,
and more. The up/down/left/right buttons are used to select and adjust controls shown on the touchscreen, their purpose depends on
the currently active function. For example, with the GEQ function active, the two Left/Right system buttons move to select one of
the 31 EQ bands, while the Up/Down buttons adjust the selected EQ filter level. The buttons work together with touch controls on the
screen, but for smaller touchscreen controls it may be easier to use the system buttons.
2.31 Load, Copy, Save Buttons
There are four different types of user presets that can be saved/loaded on the digiMIX18.
1) Scene - Scene presets are the most inclusive, capturing all audio settings in the mixer. Up to 24 scene presets are available.
2) DSP Channel - The DSP channel preset is used on input, output, and aux channels. It saves/loads a single channel's
assignments, channel settings, gate, comp, and PEQ/GEQ settings. Up to 48 different DSP channel presets can be saved.
3) FX - FX presets are used to save/load up to 104 different user defined FX1 and FX2 effects.
4) GEQ - The 48 GEQ presets are used to save/load graphic equalizer settings, which are only used on outputs.
