Onstage Keyboard Mixing 35
ProMix 01 Getting Started Guide
This example shows ProMix 01 in an onstage keyboard mixing appli-
cation. Line-level sources are connected directly to inputs channel 9
through 16. With the correct connectors, line-level sources can also
be connected to input channels 1 through 8. Balanced microphones
for foldback or miking up a rotary-type speaker cabinet can also be
connected.
Adjacent input channels can be configured as stereo pairs, so synthe-
sizers, tone generators, and samplers with stereo outputs can be han-
dled with ease.
Faders can be grouped so that several synth levels can be controlled
simultaneously using a single fader. This is useful when several synths
are used to create layered sounds.
SEND3 and SEND4 are used to feed an external effects processor, and
the processed signals are returned via the stereo input channel. The
MONITOR OUTs are connected to a pair of powered monitors. The
keyboard player can listen to the stereo out mix in ST FIX CUE mode,
or to individual channels in LAST CUE mode. The CUE signal can
also be heard through the headphones. The feed to the main front of
house console is taken via the balanced XLR-type STEREO OUT con-
nectors.
ProMix 01 internal effects provide reverb and delay via SEND1 and
SEND2. The processed signals are returned internally via RTN1 and
RTN2, respectively. All effects settings are stored in mix scenes, so you
can recall different settings for different parts of the performance.
A dynamics processor set for compression is patched into the backing
vocal input channel to provide a more consistent volume level.
Another dynamics processor set for limiting is patched into the stereo
outputs to prevent signal overload on the front of house console.
Mix scenes can be used to store different mix settings for each song
in a performance. In a complex system consisting of many synthesiz-
ers, tone generators, and samplers, mix scenes can be used to recon-
figure the internal effects, switch unused channels OFF, and set
different fader levels for synths as they are used for lead solo and pad
parts.
The MIDI sequencer transmits Program Change messages at specific
times during the performance. These MIDI messages are used to
recall ProMix 01 mix scenes and select synthesizer voices. A MIDI
footswitch is also used to recall mix scenes and synthesizer voices
manually.
ProMix 01 can be rack-mounted using the optional rack-mount kit.
