3. Operating mode – Detailed description
3.1. Switching on and off
Hold down the “Esc” button (
6
) for more than 2 seconds; the screen will light up
and display the “Standard” monitor mode.
If phantom power was active on an input before the unit was switched off, you
will be first asked to confirm the power settings; press the “PAD” key if you
agree, otherwise any other key will defeat any microphone powering. This
confirmation is to avoid possible harm to external equipment.
Hold down the “Esc” button for more than 2 seconds to turn MIXY off.
3.2. General principles
Unlike most portable mixers MIXY is largely controlled through display screens
and menus. Changes done via the menus are saved, so when MIXY is restarted the
settings are reset as they were before switching off. In addition, there are 9
memories where you can quickly save and recall full sets of parameters for the unit.
To enter the menus, push (just shortly this time!) the “Esc” (
6
) button. The main
menu is then displayed. Pressing again the “Esc” button brings you back to the
normal meter display mode.
You can navigate inside the menus and across lists using the joystick (
10
).
To change an item, first move towards it using the joystick until the item is
highlighted; then select the item by pressing the “OK” button (
4
) (or push down the
joystick): the item will flash. Change the selected item or value using the joystick,
and press again the “OK” button to confirm the change: the item will then stop
flashing.
Press the “Esc” button to leave a menu; repeat the press to return to the normal
meter screen.
