re: X32 Discussion
Uwe,
just look at the "Channel Processing Block Patch" pic I posted. You got four columns:
(Channel) inputs 1-8
Input 9-16
Input 17-24
Input 25-32
Aux in inputs 1-4
below is your possible selection, what feeds these input. When you just got the X32 and no S-16, you can choose for any of these columns as possible input:
1. the local inputs (the XLRs on the desk) in blocks of 8th: Channel 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-32
2. The card inputs (from the build in recording card) in blocks of 8th: Channel 1-8, 9-16, 17-24, 25-32
3. When you got one or more S-16, they will appear in this selection as well in same form
Now on your desk: You can choose ANY of this inputs in ANY channel with the preselection that you made.
I'm sorry, I can't describe it any better. When you are one the console, it becomes instantly clear.
Concerning GEQ: You got one knob for sweeping through every single band/fader, if you push "GEQ on Fader", the 8 DCA faders become your GEQ-faders. The small channel LCDs show the corresponding frequenzy and by pushing the Mute button on one of DCA fader, the GEQ fader will be resetted, if needed. It is a bit different like on the Roland M400, but after a while (at least for me) quite intuitive and fast.
