Roland Edirol EC2-YF-NK - Manual (Page 12)

The M-10DX is a mere 20 cm—about
the size of a B5 sheet of paper—wide
making it an all-in-one mixer that
won’t take up space on stage. Since
it can be operated on batteries, it’s
also a convenient choice for outdoor
use. The backlit graphic LCD display
and the illuminated buttons mean
that you’ll always be able to check
and adjust the channel settings even
if the stage is dark.

a small footprint!
The M-10DX also makes it simple to
create a system for sending a click
to the drummer. Input the click and
backing to Channels 1/2, and play
them back. Raise the AUX send for
both and send the AUX send to the
monitor headphones or amp so that
the drummer can play to both the click
and the backing. In this setup, you can
set the channel level of the click to
zero so that only the backing is sent
to the PA, and not the click.

you record, or perform

nized backing!
The tone, level, and effect on/off
settings of each audio source—such
as each synthesizer, sampler, and
sequencer—will typically need to
be adjusted for each song in a live
performance. This is where you can take
advantage of the Scene feature. You can
store up to eight different sets of mixer
settings, and then instantly switch the
mixer settings simply by holding down
the SCENE button for one second or
longer and choosing a program
number. This is a great feature that’s
available only on a digital mixer.

tings for each song!
It is often the case that
your carefully constructed
backing or synthesizer
sound does not sound
the same when it’s played
through a PA at your live
performance. In such cases,
you can use the Room
Acoustic Auto Control feature to easily flatten the output
signal or create a “scooped” sound that boosts the low and high
frequencies. You can also create a favorite response curve ahead
of time, and use it as one of sixteen preset EQ settings to get
the best possible sound at your performance venue.

match the performance venue!
Simple, yet multi-functional and highly mobile, the M-10DX is an ideal
choice as a sub-mixer used for combining the outputs of your synthesizer,
sound modules, and sequencer during a live performance. The M-10DX
is also a great tool for creating unusual setups that might be difficult to
manage in a live situation. For example, you can connect mics and external
effect units to create processed vocals, and then send the completed sound
to the main PA system. Since the M-10DX can be operated on batteries,
it’s also convenient for use in street performances.

In addition to bringing together your keyboard, sequencer, audio player,
and other audio sources, the M-10DX lets you create performances that
use mics and external effect processors for additional impact. Even
sophisticated setups that are difficult to achieve in a live situation can
be created by using the M-10DX as a sub-mixer, allowing you to make
your own adjustments to the sound, and then output the finished sub-
mix to the PA.
