Welcome to the Advanced Effects installment of the TouchMix Training Series.
0:11
If you’re familiar with effects processors and live sound mixers you’ve come to the right place.
0:16
If not, you may want to watch our FX Wizard tutorial first.
0:21
TouchMix has 4 multi-effect processing engines, which you can use for a mono delay,
0:26
stereo delay, chorus or pitch shifter.
0:30
a Dense Reverb and a Lush Reverb. These processors can be used in any combination.
0:37
On some other mixers, you have to give up auxiliary mixes to use all your effects processors.
0:41
This is not the case for TouchMix. It has four dedicated FX busses. In addition,
0:51
there is a Pitch Corrector that can be applied to any mono input channel.
0:54
The effects routing on TouchMix is what you would expect to find on a full-featured digital mixer.
1:00
There are four post-fader effects sends from every input channel
1:04
and each effect processor has returns to the mains and aux outputs. Let’s look at the processors first.
1:11
Here is the main FX screen. Most of it is occupied by the effect processor control panel.
1:17
This panel lets you store and recall presets, and choose between processors and control effect parameters.
1:23
Right now we’re looking at the Dense Reverb control panel.
1:26
If you select another type of processor, the controls and appearance will change.
1:30
Here’s the Mono Delay. Note the Tap Tempo button.
1:33
Touch it and you can set the delay tempo using the master control wheel.
1:37
Some of the control panels also include a Simple mode option.
1:41
To the right of the control panel is the Effect Return master fader.
1:44
This adjusts how much of the effect is sent to the main output.
1:48
Across the top you’ll see a row of knobs.
1:50
These let you return the effect to the auxiliaries for performers who want effects in their monitors.
1:56
The EQ tab at the top takes you to a 2-band EQ with a variable Low-Cut filter
2:02
so you can fine tune the sound of your effect. EQ settings are stored with the preset.
2:06
So that’s the processor and its returns. Now let’s look at how we can get our channels to the processor.
2:12
In addition to using the FX Wizard which we covered in a previous tutorial,
2:16
there are two ways to get your input channels to your effects.
2:20
From the input channel screen, just select the FX tab.
2:23
On the left of the screen you will see four processor icons.
2:27
If you wish to use a different processor or preset, touch the icon to go to the FX Master screen.
2:32
Press Home to come back. The four horizontal faders are your effects sends.
2:37
Bring up one or more faders for the effects you want to use on this channel.
2:42
If you’re in advanced mode, you will see two “Global FX Parameters" knobs.
2:47
These let you adjust the two most important parameters for the
2:50
selected processor without having to go to the master FX screen.
2:53
As we mentioned earlier there is one Pitch Correct processor on the mixer.
2:56
Touching the Enable button assigns it to the currently selected channel
3:00
and un-assigns it from any previously assigned channel.
3:03
Use the Blend control to vary the mix between the wet and the dry signal.
3:06
100% wet is used to correct pitch. A blend between wet and dry is used to provide a doubling effect.
3:13
And Dry bypasses Pitch Correct. Use the Key control to select a musical key signature.
3:20
Both major and minor key signatures are available,
3:22
allowing the pitch corrector effect to be more accurate in determining what the intended note is.
3:27
Use the Correct Rate control to adjust how quickly the pitch correction tracks.
3:32
You can also see the send and return levels for all your effects at once by selecting FX overview.
3:37
To use FX Overview: Menu > FX Overview.
3:42
Here you can see and control all the sends for all the channels at one place.
3:47
TouchMix has amazing effects features and capabilities, but there’s more to it than that.
3:52
The sound quality of these effects is equally impressive.
3:57
Our development team spent countless hours fine-tuning the sound of TouchMix’s processors
4:03
until these internal effects rival those of the go-to rack-mount processors that concert engineers rely on.
4:08
We really hope that this helps you get the most out of your TouchMix effects. We’ll see you next time.
