19. Front Panel Controls
19.1 Overview
The output level of the current Main output (as selected in
TotalMix FX) and Phones (locked to the front output) can be
adjusted directly with encoder 1 and 2 when the level meter
overview is shown in the display. Simply turn encoder 1 or 2 to
bring up the according screen.
More options, like balance, phase, mute or stereo/mono are
available in the CHANNEL menu.
The four menu keys offer quick access to a simple menu structure. Pressing any of these keys
again exits the current menu and returns to the level meter overview.
MIC/GAIN. Mic Gain. Setting the gain for the inputs 1 and 2 with the encoders 1 and 2.
METERS. Brings up the Mix screen. Note that changes to the current mix state can not be per-
formed at the unit when it is connected to a computer! These settings are available at the de-
vice to adjust or modify a routing/mixing when the unit is used stand-alone.
CHANNEL. This menu gives access to all inputs and outputs of the MADIface XT. Encoder 1
selects the input, then output to be configured. Encoder 2 selects the function that is to be modi-
fied: Settings, Low Cut, Parametric EQ Compressor/Expander and Auto Level. Settings are
shown in chapter 19.4. All others have the same settings that are found in TotalMix FX, see
descriptions in chapter 25.
SETUP/REV. Encoder 1 selects Setups, Options and Reverb/Echo. Options has the subpages
Clock, MADI Settings, Hardware/Diagnosis and Control Room. Reverb/Echo has the subpages
Reverb and Echo. The subpages are selected with encoder 2.
19.2 Encoders
The encoders can be turned endlessly, but also pressed, adding a key function. Their current
functionality is clearly shown in the display. In general turning them either changes the current
parameter, or moves the selection/cursor horizontally to the next page. Pressing the encoders
moves the selection/cursor vertically, up with 1 and down with 2, as indicated by the arrows in
the display.
On the Mic Gain page brought up by the MIC/GAIN key pressing encoder 1 and 2 activates the
AutoSet function. The label AS in the display changes from light gray to solid black (see picture
in chapter 19.3).
Example: Press the key SETUP. The menu Setups is now shown
the display. The number 1 within the circle on the right side
indicates that by turning encoder 1 more pages are available. In
this case only one, Options. Setups itself has no further sub-
pages. By pressing encoder 2 the cursor moves down, by
pressing encoder 1 it moves back up. On a selected field or entry,
the 2 to the right indicates that the current parameter can be
changed by turning encoder 2.
On the Options page several sub-pages exist, therefore a 2 is shown on the right side of those
sub-pages. By turning encoder 2 the pages Clock, MIDI Sources, General Settings and Digital
Routing are shown. The arrow under the 2 indicates that pressing encoder 2 the corresponding
page is entered, and settings can be changed then.
