Press the LOAD push button  

(35)

  or the ESC push button  

(52)

  

to exit User Setup.

You can use the headphones to listen to two different signals: 1. The PGM 

signal (=Program): This is the signal at the MAIN output. 2. The PFL signal 

(=Pre Fader Listen): This is the signal which can be routed to the PFL bus by using 

the PFL push buttons  

(7)

. The PFL signal is fader-independent, which means it 

can even be heard when the faders are pulled down.
When the SPLIT push button  

(40)

  is not pressed, both the PGM and PFL signal are 

played back in stereo in the headphones. The mix of both signals is adjusted with 

the MIX knob  

(38)

. When the knob is turned completely to the left, the PFL signal 

is heard, whereas when turned completely to the right, the PGM signal is heard in 

both headphones.

Press the SPLIT push button  

(40) 

 to activate Split Mode.

When using Split Mode, the PFL signal is played back on the left headphone 

while the PGM signal is played back on the right headphone (both mono signals).

Fig. 4.1: BPM and Effects section

The BPM and Effects section in the middle of the mixer can either be used for 

the stereo channels or the master signal. Both processors can also be combined 

to be used as dual effect for individual channels. What’s more, both Microphone 

channel and Sampler feature their own effect processors, which are described in 

individual chapters (Chapter 3.3.1 and Chapter 5.4).

The display shows the following information:

A  Shows the effect type and the parameter values.
B  Shows the calculated speed in BPM (Beats Per Minute). It Also gives  

 

information on the signal assignment and the Tap function.

C  This section shows the BPM-synchronized effect parameters as beats  

 

on the right side. On the left, you see the activity of the Kill function in  

 

the effect path.

D  This information refers to the Sampler and/or the MIDI Clock  

 

(see Chapter 5).

4.1.1  Selecting the signal source
To use an effect, you first have to assign the effect to a signal source. 

This assignment also applies to the BPM Counter. Possible input sources 

are as follows:

INPUT 1 – INPUT 4: 

Stereo channels 1 – 4.

MUSIC: 

Stereo sum signal (main signal).

CHAIN: 

CHAIN assigns the effect to the signal of the other effects section,  

 

 

so that 2 effects are triggered consecutively.

Selecting a signal for FX 1:
1)  Press the FX 1 ASSIGN push button  

(43)

.

2)  Turn the left PARAMETER knob  

(45) 

 to select a signal source from the list.

3)  Press the left PARAMETER knob to confirm the selection.
