Mute Events

Recording and Playing Back Mute Events

The UPDATE button should be thought of as a mute record button. When turned on and the X2 is locked to a sync source (see previous section), any mutes or unmutes are recorded into the currently selected song. Mute events can be recorded by pressing any MUTE button on the console, or by pressing a MUTE GROUP button (1—4). Before recording or playing back mute events, be sure the desired Song is selected.

To record mute events into a song:

1Press the ONLINE button. The ONLINE button will flash.

2Press Play on your tape machine or sequencer (the one providing a sync source). The ONLINE button will stop flashing and remain lit to indicate it is locked.

3Press the UPDATE button.

The UPDATE button will light (if the tape is stopped, the X2 will no longer be locked and the ONLINE and UPDATE LEDs will flash).

4Press any MUTE button to mute or unmute its channel, or press any of the MUTE GROUP buttons to recall a Mute group.

5When finished, press UPDATE. The UPDATE LED will turn off.

JBe sure to turn UPDATE off when done, to avoid recording unwanted mute events.

To playback mute events:

1Press the ONLINE button. The ONLINE button will flash.

2Rewind the tape back to the beginning and press Play.

The ONLINE button will light solid to indicate it is locked and the mute events you recorded will occur at the same position as originally pressed.

Undoing Mute Events

At any time, you can use the UNDO button to delete the most recent mute event. This is very handy when you’ve just made a mistake (i.e., pressed the wrong MUTE button). The UNDO button will always delete the last recorded mute event, and can be used repeatedly in order to back up either a small or great distance, even back to the very beginning (thereby erasing the entire sequence of mute events).
