The eects devices are presented as a virtual rack of units. XL8 can have up to 16 multi-
channel devices (plus 32 Graphic EQs), PRO Series has 6 or 8 devices depending on model
(plus Graphic EQs). The eects device types can be changed and/or re-patched on a scene
by scene basis.
There are many patching options for the eects processors and graphic EQs. Some of
these are:
A Assign to any insert send/return
A Assign to any network input or output
A Assign FX out to aux return
A Assign FX in to aux send (post fade)
A Assign FX out to bus direct in
A Assign FX in to channel direct out
The Midas’ FX and dynamics are incorporated within the systems automatic delay
management system, so that wherever they are patched, the audio will be absolutely
phase-coherent when summed into the mix.
Graphic EQs
You can have up to 36 1/3 octave Klark Teknik GEQs on a PRO series and up to 51 on
an XL8, which can be patched into any output or insert point. The Graphic EQs can be
controlled by a Klark Teknik DN9331 Rapide fader remote which is standard on the XL8
and an option on the PRO Series or from controls on the console surface. The STS system
allows the use of a select button on a Send to automatically pause the Rapide motor
faders to move to settings for that send.
