2 Getting acquainted with the X-9

Sampler section

The sampler section provides the controls for two built-in samplers.

These are capable of accepting the input from a variety of sources (program, microphone or master mix), and recording eight seconds of sound (for each sampler).

You can then play the resulting sample from the X-9, cue it, etc. and add it to the overall mix.

Samplers can be assigned to the cross-fader signals, and the cross-fader can be used to start them.

See “Samplers” on page 26 for full details of how to operate these samplers.

Microphone control

This section provides control over the microphone.

A talkover function, as well as 2-band EQ, is provided in this section for use with the microphone.

See “Microphone (connection and use)” on page 11 for full details of how to use the microphone with the X-9.

Cue selection keys and monitor keys

These keys allow the selection of the programs, microphone, sampler, etc. for cueing and preview.

The headphones are used for this purpose, and the booth outputs may be used to provide a second set of stereo outputs.

See “Headphones (connecting and using)” on page 12 and “Cue (previewing sounds)” on page 16 for details.
