This chapter will give you an overview of the basic operations of the mixer, allowing you to get up and running quickly. While reading through the information, we encourage you to experiment with the console’s different screens and controls. The console’s user interface was designed to be extremely to navigate through and learn. More specific details about various functions can be referenced later in the manual.
The X32 user interface is divided into five major sections:
(1)Channel Strip
(2)Input Channels
(3)Display and Monitoring
(4)Group/Bus/Main Channels
(5)Scenes/Assign/Mute Groups
Throughout the top panel of the console, you will find small buttons labeled View. Press these buttons to immediately switch the console’s large color display (known as the Main Display) to show information related to the section whose View button you have just pressed.
For example, if you are editing the equalizer and feel like seeing a large display of the EQ frequency response curve or corresponding EQ parameter value, simply press the adjacent View button in the EQ section. If you need to check where the talkback signal is being routed, simply press the View button next to the Talk button and the main display will show the details.
With the View button approach of the X32 console, there is almost never a need to drill down through multiple menu pages, since the View buttons will always take you directly to the relevant screen.
Tip: The Setup/Global tab on the main display allows preferences for the behavior of View and Select buttons to be adjusted.
