EURORACK MX3242X
A very special feature of your MX3242X is its on-board Effects Processor, which offers the same hard/software
quality as our well-known 19" VIRTUALIZER DSP1024P. This effects module provides 32 different standard
effects such as Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Delay, Pitch Shifter and various effects combinations. Use
Aux Send 3 (Main input channels) and the Aux Send 3 master control to feed signals to the Effects Processor.
Please make sure that the level read by the LED level meter
in the effects module section is always high
enough. However, the CLIP LED should never light up.
The two buttons UP
and DOWN
select a specific preset. To speed up preset selection, you also need
to press the respective opposite button. Then, you can activate the selected preset with the ENTER button
. The display
reads the number of the currently active preset. Its name can be found in the preset list
printed next to the LED level meter.
Aux Return 3 allows you to assign the effect signal to the Subgroups and Main Mix bus. Additionally, you can
use the Effects Processor for your headphones mix by routing Aux Return 3 to Aux buses 1-2.

Tab. 2.1: Effect presets provided by on-board effects module
Cathedral:
A very dense and long Reverb, much like that heard in great cathedrals. Particularly suitable
for solo instruments or voices in slow songs.
Plate:
The sound of early Reverb plates. A classic Reverb program for drums (snare) and vocals.
Room:
You can clearly hear the walls as they are reflecting the sound. A useful program for inaudible
Reverb (rap, hip hop vocals) or to make dry recordings of instruments sound natural again.
Studio:
This versatile room simulation program generates a very natural ambiance.
Concert:
Here, you can create a small theater (
Medium Concert
) or large concert hall (
Large
Concert
), which are more lively and brilliant than the Studio reverb.
Stage:
A wonderful Reverb, for example, to give keyboard pads or acoustic guitars more width and
depth.
Vocal:
Rich and dense Reverb with middle Reverb times which gives vocals or other solo instruments
their finishing touch and makes them an integral part of the mix.
Percussion:
This dense Reverb is characterized by pronounced early reflections which make it a
natural choice for dynamic signals (drums, percussion, slap bass, etc.).
Delay:
This program applies several repetitions or echoes to the delayed input signal.
