X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual 4. FX Descriptions Triple Delay FX Descriptions Here is a list and brief description of the effects available on the X32 CORE. When Stereo and Dual versions of an effect are offered, use the Stereo version when the left and right signal are to be altered together (e.g. on linked stereo channels or buses), or Dual when you want to dial different settings for the left and right signal.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual Gated Reverb Hall Reverb This effect was originally achieved by combining a reverb with a noise gate. Our gated reverb creates the same impression by a special shaping of the reverb tail. Classic Hall Reverb simulates the reverberation that occurs w hen sound is recorded in medium to large-sized concert halls. Use the Hall Reverb to give your mix a lush, three-dimensional quality that will make your performance sound larger than life.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual When Layer 1 is selected, the far left encoder push button allows you to select between virtual front and rear outputs. Rear is suitable for drums due to it being less reflective. Front is well-suited for vocals and other dynamic instruments. The Vintage button enables the simulation of the input transformers.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual Tremolo / Panner Stereo Tremolo creates an up and down volume change at a constant and even tempo just like the guitar amps of yesteryear. Use X32’s Stereo Tremolo to add a unique “surf-music” texture to a vocal or instrument track. SPEED adjusts the LFO rate and DEPTH sets the amount of modulation. PHASE can be used to set an LFO phase difference between the left and right channel, which can be used for panning effects.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual Mood Filter Chorus + Chamber The Mood Filter uses an LFO generator and an auto-envelope generator to control a VCF (voltage-controlled filter), as well as a side chain function where the channel B signal controls the envelope of channel A. When applied to electronic instruments, the Mood Filter can be used to emulate the natural sound of acoustic instruments.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual Delay + Chorus Dual / Stereo TruEQ This combination effect merges a user-definable Delay (echo) with a studioquality Chorus sure to fatten up even the “skinniest” track. Uses only one FX slot. (Inspired by the TC Electronic D-Two) The TruEQ incorporates a special algorithm that compensates for the gain adjustment overlapping effect that adjacent frequency bands have on one another.

X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual 5.5 How do I add one of the 8 internal effects to the sound? There are two types of effects that are commonly used: • “Effects Loop” (side chain) style effects, where multiple channels all send varying amounts of their signal to a common effect, such as a reverb, delay, or chorus. • “Insert” style effects that are inserted in to the signal path of a single channel of audio. Examples would be a graphic EQ, filter, exciter, or tube emulator.

Please find the recommended hardware/software minimum configurations in the specifications section. The BEHRINGER X-USB High-Performance 32-Channel 24-Bit USB Audio Interface The X-USB card provides 32 channel, bi-directional audio I/O via USB 2.0 to Mac or Windows PC.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual 32 in / 32 out This mode obviously allows the full potential of the interface to be tapped. Note that the computer needs to be able to handle that amount of concurrent I/O stream without any glitches. Depending on its speed and memory configuration, some optimization for audio recording might be required. It is also possible to run a virtual sound check of all 32 input channels by recording them directly to a computer during a brief line check.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual 16 in / 16 out If you don’t actually need more than 16 concurrent input and output tracks to be exchanged between the console and your PC, then this mode might be more appropriate for you. First, it will slow the required bandwidth on the interface down. Second, there will be no excessive I/O tracks in your DAW configuration that might clutter your setup.
X32 CORE DIGITAL RACK MIXER User Manual 6.2 Configuring the PC to Interface with the X-USB Card Please watch behringer.com for further advice on the software configuration of X-USB interface card.
