[. . . ] Reproduction or publication of the content, even portions, in any manner, without express permission of the publisher, is prohibited. Dispose of the unit and used batteries in an environment friendly manner according to your country regulations. Please read these operating instructions carefully so you will know how to operate this product properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them in a safe place for future reference. [. . . ] PRESET BUTTONS: These buttons are used as presets for the different effects. Depending on the selected effect, these presets can be settings related to the beat, filter frequencies, percentage of pitch change, etc. Each button has one of the following inscriptions: 2 ­ 4 ­ 8 ­ 16 ­ 32. You can also select the additional presets by pushing the "time parameter knob" (33) while you select the presets 4 ­ 8 or 16. In that case the preset button starts flashing to indicate that the indication above the button (1/4 ­ ½ or 1/1) is selected. It's good to know that the presets are preserved when you change to another effect. Example: if the "echo" effect is selected and you choose for preset "2", you will notice that the sound is repeated every 2 beats. Select the ½-preset if you want the music to be repeated every half beat. When the beat counter is unable to count the beats, the BPM display starts flashing until the BPM counter is able to continue. TIME (X) PARAMETER: for certain effects the display shows time information (mSec) for other effects the display shows percents (%) or cutoff frequencies (kHz). You can change these parameters with the preset buttons (24) and with the "time parameter knob"(33) if you need fine tuning. CUE BPM / DEPTH (Y) PARAMETER DISPLAY: Displays the BPM value for the cue signals coming from one of the 4 input channels, (CH-1 to CH-4) selected using one of the CUE-buttons (39). When you adjust the depth (Y) parameter knob(32), the new value will be displayed (%). EFFECTS INPUT DISPLAY: Shows which signal you selected using the "input select knob"(30). INPUT SELECT KNOB: Used to select which signal goes to the input of the effects unit. One of the channels you selected with the "cross fader assign buttons"(10). This can be the left side "A" or the right side "B" of the cross fader. If you select master, the effects will be used on the mixed master sound. The crossover effects and the multi-effects unit cannot be used together!Before you can use the multi effects, you have to switch the crossover effects off (see n°:15 for more information) ECHO: produces repeated sounds. You can easily mix beat synchronized echos while selecting the desired "preset"(24). These presets can be tuned with the "Time parameter knob"(33) in a range from 2mSec up to 2Sec. [. . . ] When connecting a turntable to the SMX-1, first remove the short-circuit pins of the input you want to use. One of the big advantages of this mixer is the possibility to change the channel faders, even while the mixer is in use. This is what you must do to change a channel fader: Remove the fader knobs from the faders. Remove the 4 screws that hold the small front panel around the faders. [. . . ]
