2.4 Library
The LIBRARY screen allows loading and saving of commonly used setups for the
channel inputs, e ects processors and routing scenarios.
The LIBRARY screen contains the following separate tabs:
channel: This tab allows the user to load and save commonly used
combinations of the channel DSP e ects.
e ects: This tab allows the user to load and save commonly used
e ects processor presets.
routing: This tab allows the user to load and save commonly used
signal routings.
channel
The LIBRARY screen’s channel tab allows you to load and save commonly used
combinations of the channel DSP e ects. For example, once you have dialled
in a combination of EQ and compression that works well for a particular singer,
you can save the channel DSP chain as a preset for later recall.
To adjust the various settings on the channel tab, perform the
following steps:
1. Adjust the  rst push encoder to select which speci c elements of the
input channel can be recalled when loading an input channel preset.
Choices include:
• • Head Amp (Microphone Preampli er)
• • Con guration
• • Gate
• • Compressor
• • Equalizer
• • Sends.
2. Tap the  rst encoder to turn the currently selected element on or o in
the recall list.
3. Adjust the second encoder to scroll among a list of input
channel presets.

To save and load presets, as well as import/export them, follow the same
procedure as detailed in the LIBRARY screen channel tab.
routing
The LIBRARY screen’s routing tab allows you to load and save presets of the
M32’s signal routings. This can be useful for repeating speci c routing scenarios
that occur over and over on a regular basis, such as when using the console for a
weekly club gig or worship service.
To adjust the various settings on the routing tab, perform the
following steps:
1. Adjust the  rst push encoder to select which speci c console signal
paths will be recalled when loading a routing preset. Choices include:
• • Channel Inputs
• • Analog Out
• • Auxiliary Out
• • P16 (ULTRANET) Out
• • Card Out
• • AES50 Out.
2. Tap the  rst encoder to turn the currently selected element on or o in
the recall list.
3. To save and load presets, as well as import/export them, follow the
same procedure as detailed in the LIBRARY screen channel tab.
2.5 E ects
The EFFECTS screen controls various aspects of the eight internal e ects
processors. On this screen the user can select speci c types of e ects for the
eight internal processors, con gure their input and output paths, monitor their
levels, and adjust the various e ect parameters.
The  rst four slots can be Insert and Side-Chain e ects, and the slots  ve to eight
are Insert only. Additionally these slots can only hold some e ects excluding
reverbs and other power-intensive e ects. They also have di erent selections for
the input sources.
The EFFECTS screen contains the following separate tabs:
home: The home tab provides a general overview for all eight e ects
processors, displaying what e ect has been inserted in each of the eight
slots, as well as displaying input/output paths for each slot, and the I/O
signal levels.
fx1-8: These eight duplicate screens display all relevant data for
the right separate e ects processors, allowing the user to adjust all
parameters for the selected e ect.
home
The EFFECTS screen’s home tab provides a high-level overview of the eight
e ects processor slots, giving the user at-a-glance feedback on the e ects they
have assigned to the slots, the console source and destination for each processor,
and the input/output levels for each processor.
To make adjustments on the EFFECTS screen’s home tab, perform the
following steps:
1. Adjust the  rst push encoder to select the input source for the currently
highlighted e ects block. Signal path choices include:
• • Insert Send
• • Mix Bus 1-16.
2. Tap the  rst encoder to assign the currently selected input source.
3. Adjust the second encoder to select the input source for the right side of
the currently highlighted e ects block.
4. Tap the second encoder to assign the currently selected input source.
TIP: To con gure an e ect as mono input and stereo output, set both input
sources to the same signal path
5. Tap the third and fourth encoders to mute the currently selected e ect.

highlighted e ects slot.
fx1-8
The EFFECTS screen’s fx 1-8 tabs allow you to edit the parameters for the speci c
e ect processor assigned to the corresponding e ects slot.
In order to more closely simulate the look and feel of the outboard processors
that are no longer necessary with a digital console, the individual e ects
processor screen provides a graphical representation of the e ects processor’s
real world physical counterpart. This provides greater ease of use for the user
than a simple text list of parameters.
To make adjustments on the EFFECTS screen’s editing tab, perform the
following steps:
1. Adjust the six push encoders to change the various e ects parameters
shown at the bottom of the screen.
2. Use the Up/Down navigation controls to switch the push encoders to a
second, third or fourth set of parameters for e ects that contain more
than six adjustable parameters.
3. When the e ects processor has been edited to your satisfaction, push
the sixth encoder to go back to the EFFECTS screen’s home tab.
4. See the Main Display - Internal E ects section for more details on
speci c e ects and parameters.
TIP: For the Graphics EQ e ects, tap the  rst push encoder to implement the
‘Graphics EQ on Faders’ function. This allows you to boost or cut the di erent
EQ bands using the eight console output faders, eight faders at a time, with the
relevant EQ bands displayed on the channel LCD screens.
