X-Rack Owner’s Manual
F.3.2	Monitor Section 2	XR622
	The Monitor Section enables the Mix and Record busses or a stereo external input to
	be monitored, the source to monitor being set by either the ‘MIX’, ‘REC’ or ‘EXT’	SEL	0
	switches either seperately or together, allowing great flexibility in recording and

	montitoring signals. The ‘EXT’ input would normally be playback from the main		6		3

	recorder or DAW.The selected monitor signals can be routed back to the Mix output		15
			18
			24
	using the MON switch in the Mix Section, allowing composite mixes to be easily		30

	If one of the ‘SOLO’ switches on any other X-Rack modules is active, the ‘SOLO’	SUM

	Expansion
	Each of the three X-Rack busses (Mix, Record and Solo/AFL) are accessible
	externally through the ‘MIX BUS LINK’ connector on the rear of the X-Rack.
	Additional X-Racks can be connected via this connector, allowing additional inputs
	to be mixed together and feed a single Master module. The pinout for this connector
	is detailed in Section 5.2 of the X-Rack Owner’s Manual; if the connector listing is not present in your
	manual, a more recent copy may be downloaded from the Solid State Logic website ( http://solid-state-
	logic.com ).

Note. Only one XR622 master module is required per system – connecting two or more X-Rack units fitted with XR622 modules together will cause serious gain errors and distortion (though it will not damage the system electronics).

F.3.4 Configuration

Dim Level

The attenation applied to the monitor signal when the ‘DIM’ switch is active is set by the Total Recall processor. The default level is –15dB, it can be adjusted as follows:

• Press and hold SETUP/MIDI until the SETUP/MIDI LED flashes.

• Use the D-Pot to select ‘d1’ (DIM Level). Press the D-Pot to select this option.

• Use the D-Pot to set the required level (between –3dB and –30dB).

• Press the D-Pot once more to set the selected value and return to the setup menu or press and hold SETUP/MIDI until the SETUP/MIDI LED stops flashing to return to normal operation.

MIDI Remote

Controlling the ‘soft’ controls on the XR622 Master module via MIDI will require MIDI controls to be mapped onto the required Master module functions. This is accomplished as follows:

• Press and hold SETUP/MIDI until the SETUP/MIDI LED flashes.

• Use the D-Pot to select ‘m1’ (MIDI Setup). Press the D-Pot to select the MIDI Setup menu.

• Use the D-Pot to select ‘ck’ (MIDI Channel). Press the D-Pot to select this option.

• Use the D-Pot to set the MIDI Channel to listen to (‘01’ to ‘16’ or ‘al’ for ‘all’). Press the D-Pot to leave this option.
