Somethings amiss there.
Are you sure there is no makeup gain cranked up on a comp or eq somewhere?
I had a full band last weekend with all inputs peaking around -10db and with masters set at 0db all was good.
FWIW assigning the same input to multiple channels will give the highest addition you are likely to encounter as the summing will be 100% coherent.
To check gain structure you really need to use a steady state signal as there is no standard that manufacturers use for time constants to determine meter ballistics.

The only one and in exposition from a day.....immediately in my hands. NO ONE MUST TO TOUCH MY CREATURE BWHUA BWHUA :twisted:
Grazie Donald, mi hai portato fortuna!!!

hmmm... thanks, I'll check it out. I will Probably will end up using an external emulator or keep the cabinet as the source.

Encoder fault:
One of my engineers has noticed an issue with our bus send 4 encoder. It seems to not always read value changes as you turn (in either direction). When turned quickly it appears to miss most of the values. This is in comparison to the other three bus sends which respond as expected. To me this sounds most likely like dirt in the sensor or on the encoder, assuming it's done optically.
I have touring bands/engineers almost daily at the moment and so cannot really afford any down-time but obviously would prefer to have it working 100%.
Thoughts? (particularly @Behringer)

re: X32 Discussion
Problem like this one here too : the console got a freeze then restarted ("reboot") ???? 8O~8-O~:shock:
I've checked the voltage in the plugs, 225v, normal here !
Any ideas ?
Tks.

What were you doing at the time?
I think that's the first time a console freeze has been mentioned, the quoted freeze was a daw freeze as far as I can tell.

re: X32 Discussion
I'm having some trouble loading the firmware updates. The board shipped with 1.04. The only firmware updates on the website are 1.08 and 1.09. Do I need to upgrade sequentially (1.05 then 1.06 then 1.07) before I can update to 1.08 and 1.09, or do those updates include all the previous updates. If not, where do I go to get the updates, since they aren't on Behringer's website?

re: X32 Discussion
Okay, in running through one of my two new x32s I've found a tiny problem. Seems one of the scribble strips (second in the groups bank) has an intermittent red led. This is such a tiny issue I almost am tempted to just let it go. Except its gonna bug me.
anyway, these two units are scheduled to go into service in a couple of days at a my church and I don't really want to delay that for something as simple as this issue. So what's my recourse? I'm not sure how to handle this. Can I change out the scribble strip myself? Seems crazy to get an entire replacement desk for something so minor as this. Just not sure what to do.
i do want to add that these units are amazing. I spent some time with one of mine today and was truly amazed that this kind of functionality is available at this price. I almost didn't want to believe that I had an actual issue, tiny as it was. But anyway it is what it is.
any advice anyone can give is welcome.
thanks.

re: X32 Discussion
you can go straight to 1.09
just download it feom the website. ( Behringer: DIGITAL MIXER X32 ). Put it on a thumb drive. Turn off the desk. Put in the thumb drive. Turn on the desk.
If you have a problem. The issue is peobably the thumb drive. I use a Sandisk that works great, but there are so many variables its hard to know which will work and which will not.
Good luck.

re: X32 Discussion
No special operation at the freeze time, just working on scenes, console alone with nothing plugged, that's why I don't understand or don't have any idea of the cause.
When I saw it, I taught that I should take a photo, but then the X32 rebooted. It happened 2 times.
Probably a defective unit : will go back for warranty.
Of course, the console has firmware 1.09.

re: X32 Discussion
We've just set up our x32 at church and found the same defect. In the groups section one colour LED backlight for the scribble strip doesn't work. This is actually quite important as it makes the strip unreadable. I have the same question as you... can a repair be done in the field or do I need to call for a replacement console?
My first impressions (apart from this issue) are positive. It's a good option for houses of worship (small to medium size) as long as Behringer can iron out the quality Issues
Thanks, Alan

re: X32 Discussion
Does the X32 have profile/scene lock? E.g looking at buying this desk for our church but as we have many groups that would use it, some know what they are doing & some don't, is there a way of booting the desk into a certain profile or scene every time? Can you lock scenes so no one can change it with out a password?
thanks in advance.

Not yet but it's on Behringer's list of features that will be implemented (according to a response I saw posted on a forum by a Behringer rep).
It's one feature I've requested for the same reasons as you.

re: X32 Discussion
One possible explanation for the freeze could be that a certain combination of scene operations combined with holding the UNDO button down for an extended time is interpreted by the console as a reset command similar to what it does at boot-up, and that a subseqent press of the UNDO after the first reboot caused it to revert back to the settings before the initial reboot. Haven' got the console available, but maybe you might be able to replicate what happened when you keep in mind that the UNDO button is the likely culprit if this is a firmware bug/feature and not a console defect. Just a thought, not substansiated by anything I have observed on the console.

I could do with some help on this, I tried to install Wine Bottler but that said I needed an X11 server (I'm using Mountain Lion). So I installed XQuartz as that now replaces the unsupported X11, installed Wine Bottler and then tried to install a new prefix using the Xcontrol.exe as the base file. The install gets to about 50%, Xcontrol appears on the screen but the install never finishes. Do I need a connection to take place to the actual X32 for the Wine Bottler installation to complete.? How long did your install take?

Hi Aaron,
No problem updating directly to the latest 1.09 Firmware. You can go right from 1.04 to 1.09.
Format your stick for FAT32, drag and drop the latest firmare on the stick, reboot with the stick in the USB slot.
Should be good to go.
