Exiting User Setup:

3.6 Operating the phones section
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.
Working in Split Mode:
•
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).
4. BPM and Effects Section
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).
Display:
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.
