microprocessor control
microprocessor controlled mutingThe Crest X-Series of Consoles* is equipped with a micro-con-
trolled Mute Controller which permits the user to set-up a series
of Mute Scenes,each controlling any combination of channels and
outputs.These Scenes can then be recalled, either singly or in
combination,to allow the operator to easily control the mutes
during a performance.
The Mute Controller features 128 Sequenced Scenes (Patches)
along with 8 Manual Mute Scenes.The 128 Patches can be stepped
through using a single button,or remotely activated by the use of
MIDI patch-change commands.The Patches can be combined with
the Manual Scenes to allow different combinations of Channel
mutes.
The following is a overview of the controls and indicators of the
Mute Controller and the Channels (see diagrams on previous
page).The following information pertains to X-Eight consoles with
Rev 1.12 firmware,and X-Monitor consoles with Rev 1.00
firmware.

1) To perform “FULL FACTORY RESET” of Micro Mute and VCA
settings hold up/down buttons upon power-up. This will clear all
memory and restore Micro Controller to factory presets.
2) Do not use the "uP" parameter with the setting "OFF" in the utility
menu until a newer EPROM version is released. Please submit your
console serial # and shipping address to Roffi@CrestAudio.com if
you wish to be on an EPROM distribution list for this event.
3) EOF stands for Edit On the Fly. A new parameter offered in the
utility menu. When selected it allows for spontaneous removal of a
mute you have programmed in as part of a current scene.
