31X32 COMPACT DIGITAL MIXER User Manual

5.15Remote control

The X32 COMPACT hosts an Ethernet port on its rear panel which can be used to connect and remote control it over a network via the X32-Mix on an iPad or the X32-Edit application on a PC. To be able to do this the X32 COMPACT has to be set up properly.

•Press the SETUP button next to the screen.

•Go to the Network tab.

•Use encoder 1 to choose between IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway. Adjust the address fields with the encoders 2-5 and assign the selected numbers with encoder #6.

•Set an IP address which fits your network, normally 192.168.0.X. The IP address should be free within the network.

•Set your subnet mask according to your network, normally 255.255.255.0

•Set your gateway, if required.

Now get your iPad or remote PC into the same network and open the X32-Edit. PC:

•On the X32-Edit, choose setup on the right side and the network tab. Enter the IP address of the X32 in the network and press connect.

•If the software has connected to the X32 you can also synchronize them in 2 directions. Console -> PC means all settings in the X32 will be loaded into the X32-Edit. PC -> Console means that all settings in the X32-Edit will be written to the console.

X32-Mix

•For the X32-Mix remote, open the program on your iPad (make sure the iPad is connected to the same network as the console).

•On the startup screen, a popup should appear. Enter the IP of the console, press “Go Online”, et voilà: you are connected and can control the X32 COMPACT with your iPad.

5.16Recording a 2-track directly with the console

TheX32 COMPACT offers the possibility to record a 2-track of your mix (or any other selection of signals) directly onto a USB-stick/external USB hard disk:

•Plug a FAT-formatted (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32) USB stick into the USB port next to the main display.

•Press the VIEW button next to the USB port and the home screen of the recorder will show up with a nice emulation of an old tape deck.

•On the config tab you can select the source for the recording, default is main L and R.

•Press RECORD (encoder #5) to record your mix.

•To adjust the volume during playback, press the Aux In/USB button next to the fader section and adjust the volume with the AUX 7/8 faders.

Remarks:

Due to the FAT format of the stick, the file size will be limited to 2 GB, which is about 3 hours of stereo recording. Please test the recording capability of your USB device before you do the “real stuff” as some sticks may not be supported or be too slow. We also recommend you defragment your USB device prior to recording. The recording will be done as 16-bit WAV file with the selected sample frequency of the console.

Please also note that it is possible that the specifications of USB storage devices may be changed by the manufacturer without any change in physical appearance or notification.

5.17 Saving and recalling scenes

Follow the steps below to save and recall scenes in the console, allowing different configurations to be recalled at a later time.

•Adjust the console to the next desired configuration, and repeat the process above as needed, saving additional scenes to additional empty slots.

•To recall a scene, use the “prev” and “next” buttons, located in the top panel’s Scenes section, to navigate the scene list to the desired scene on the Main Display.
