[QUOTE="Karl Lies, post: 104463, member: 5327"] Consolidated view, or printout, showing overall console configuration? Manual? My X32 arrived yesterday. Spent a few hours familiarizing myself with screens etc.... In a number of way's the desk feels similar to the Allen & Heath iLive system (been working with a local church setting up/tuning a 60x32 iLive system). And, like the iLive, it has one shortcoming. There's no single place where you can view or print something that gives a big picture overview of the desk's current configuration (ie....things like....what source's are assigned to each input strip, which strips are assigned to which groups, which strips are controlled by which DCA's, the routing of FX in's and out's etc....). Like the iLive, the desk takes an approach along the lines of having a bucket of physical and logical input's, a bucket of fader strips (input and mix buss) and a bucket of output's. These elements can be used like an erector set to build/configure the system as desired. Hugely flexible but because there is no fixed structure to the desk there's no way to walk up to it and have any idea what's going where. I've found this to be a real frustration with the iLive system. You can figure these things out but you have to do it through brute force (flogging through innumerable screens etc...). There is a site, out of Germany I think, where you can upload an iLive show file (iLive viewer I think it's called) and their system will use it to generate a PDF doc that consolidates most of the routing config and lay's it out on paper so to speak. It doesn't work well with expander boxes and, in some area's still isn't entirely clear, but it's better than nothing. This could be VERY helpful with the X32 in that you would have a way to get a big picture view of the routing and fairly easily see any routing or config errors without having to chase down each routing path by walking through the individual screens/strips etc.... Wondering if there's something similar for the X32? If there isn't something like this "in the box", is there some way to do this using the XControl/X32 edit software? From a PC, running the editor software, it would seem that it should be pretty easy to do this. Having spent several hours last night looking over the desk with a pretty hard eye I must admit that, so far, I'm pretty impressed. Fit and finish looks to be quite good. The controls feel nice, nothing loose or crappy feeling, screen layout's are pretty consistent and, once you get the feel of the layout, it's pretty intuitive. The packing was quite good too. Lastly, Does anyone know where a full PDF manual can be found? I've looked through all the downloads on the x32 page/Berhinger site. Saw the engineers manual etc... but I'm looking for something that gives more detailed explanation of many of the individual parameters on the different pages. ****Edit**** nevermind, found the users manual ( [url]http://www.behringer.com/assets/X32_M_EN.pdf[/url] ). Odd that it's not on the X32 Documentation/Downloads page. Thanks in advance! Karl [/QUOTE]
