[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 107214, member: 110"] Re: Tablet for X32 Rack Hello Kevin, and welcome to the forum... some of the answers to your question, and possible solutions.... question 1) Is it possible to have 16 inputs running to L-R stereo main, 5 monitor outputs, and 2-3 internal effects (loop) answer You have 16 busses, so taking up 5 for monitors, and 2-3 for FX, leaves you 8 more for subgroups.... OR if you don't need subgroups for compression and the like, you can control these "groups of instruments" with the DCA's (8 total) question 2) Can each monitor user operate their own monitor mix via their own iphone / iPad on the x32 Rack in addition to mine? Can I lock them out of other settings? answer You can use whatever hardware you want to use, sending from the omni outputs, or aux outputs / your choice... I am using hte aux outputs to drive my monitor mixes, but that's only because I am using TRS instead of XLR connections question is anyone selling a reasonably priced 1U UPS that will provide surge/momentary outage protection? Or what other solution for that is there? I think 5 min of power support would be plenty. answer I haven't researched that as yet, and I probably won't use one on my x32 rack. I have a rackmount 2 space version for my s16 units, and a tripplite power block version for my x32 , but I heaven't looked into anything for my X32R question 4) how are the xlr outputs different than the aux outputs? answer they aren't different, and you can route whatever you want to any output question 5) can I use an aux in (say Aux 1) for a keyboard input, but use aux out 1 for a monitor send? Could Aux 2 out then be used for an external effect? answer YES - as an example, I am using aux IN 1-4 from my FCA1616 firewire interface (addictive drums), and AUX in 5+6 from my TD-12 for toms and cymbals. Aux outputs are my mix buss outputs 1-6, direct to in-ear mixes, and buss 7-8 XLR is main out. XLR 1-6 is set to direct out (ch1-6) for when I need to send my drum inputs out to an external PA system.... This allows me to ditch the 8 ch behringer DI I was carrying around.... (it's still in the photo above the TD-12, but it's gone now) question 6) are there limits on which outputs I can add internal equalization to (parametric or graphic)? answer There are 6 band parametric EQ's that are across all busses and matrix outputs as well as L+R. You can also insert 31 band Eq's across outputs as well, and I believe that number can total 8 graphs ( if you are using 4 stereo fx) in slots 1-4 I literally put this rig together last night.... I am the drummer in a 4 piece band, we're all on ears, we're all direct instrument (E-kit/ pods,bass pre). I'm told we sound great due to the lack of stage wash, and we are always loved at weddings due to the ability to turn down if need be. We were carrying yamaha 01V and a front and back 12 space rack. I kicked the guitar player and bassist out of the rack, and I'm now down to carrying this... All my pads fit in the case under the racks. All the guys have iphones so they will be driving thier own mixes, and I'll be using my ipad, since my iphone is playing tracks :) Don't even think about it Kevin... Just do it. BTW as a cheap in-ear solution , the singer and I are using the behringer headphone amp to drive our ears... TRS output to XLR on the rear patch bay... connect XLR cables until you reach the player... I've made an XLR to 1/8" female which I loop on my belt, plug my in-ears into that... no batteries required ($189 supplies power to 4 mixes).
