Gemini PMX-05 Bedienungshandbuch Seite 5

designed for scratch mixing. Just purchase one from your
GEMINI dealer and follow the instructions:
USER REPLACEABLE CROSS
FADER
1. UNSCREW THE OUTSIDE MIXER FACE PLATE SCREWS AND
REMOVE THE FACE PLATE. THEN REMOVE FADER PLATE SCREWS
(B & C).
2. CAREFULLY LIFT THE
FADER AND UNPLUG THE
CABLE (D).
3. PLUG THE NEW FADER
INTO THE CABLE AND
PLACE IT BACK IN THE
MIXER.
4. SCREW FADER PLATE
TO THE MIXER AND
REPLACE THE MIXER FACE
PLATE.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE WHILE USING THE CROSSFADER.
LIGHTLY GLIDE THE CROSSFADER BACK AND FORTH. PRESSING DOWN
ON THE CONTROLS CAN BEND CONTACTS AND CAUSE A LOSS OF
SOUND.
5. CROSSFADER SLOPE: The CROSSFADER SLOPE
SWITCH (19) allows you to adjust the kind of slope the CROSS-
FADER (33) has. Flip the CROSSFADER SLOPE SWITCH (19)
up to make the slope steep and cutting (perfect for scratching).
Flip the CROSSFADER SLOPE SWITCH (19) down to make
the slope gradual and gentle.
6. CROSSFADER REVERSE: The CROSSFADER REVERSE
SWITCH (20) allows you to reverse the CROSSFADER (33) so
that CH 2 (32) is controlled by the left side of the CROSSFAD-
ER (33) and CH 1 (26) is controlled by the right side of the
CROSSFADER (33).
7. CUE: The CUE FADER (18) facilitates the seamless blending
of one recorded track into another. Connecting a set of head-
phones to the HEADPHONES (16) jack allows you to monitor
either CH 1 (26) or CH 2 (32). Select CH 1 (26) by moving CUE
FADER (18), located on the front panel, to CUE 1 on the left.
Listen to CH 2 (32) by moving CUE FADER (18) to CUE 2 on
the right. To mix both Channels bring CUE FADER (18) to the
middle so that both tracks may be heard. Use CUE VOLUME
(17) to adjust the headphone volume without affecting the
speaker-driven mix.
8. MIC SECTION: Connecting a microphone to the 1/4" MIC
JACK (12) allows voice amplification through the mixer to the
stereo through the MASTER RCA OUTPUTS (4). This is con-
trolled by the MIC VOLUME (13), HIGH (14), LOW (15) rotary
controls.
9. OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION: The level of the MASTER
RCA (4) output is controlled by the MASTER VOLUME (39)
rotary control.
10. DISPLAYS: The DUAL VU METER (40) indicates the level
of the MASTER RCA (4) output left and right channel levels
respectively. DUAL VU METER (40) reflects the MASTER VOL-
UME (39), GAIN (22, 28), HIGH (23, 29), MID (24, 30) and LOW
(25, 31) rotary control adjustments for each channel. The CH
FADER (26, 32) also affect each of the DUAL VU METER (40).
EFX SECTION:
NOTE: WHEN USING THE EFX SECTION, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE A TONAL
BOOST THAT WILL SEND YOUR MASTER OUTPUT LEVELS INTO THE BLUE
(0 THROUGH +11), AS INDICATED IN YOUR VU METER (40). ADJUST THE
CHANNEL FADERS (26, 32), IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT
FROM A SYSTEM OVERLOAD. TO BEGIN EFX EXPERIMENTATION, START
WITH A LOW PARAMETER SETTING WITH YOUR CHANNEL FADERS (26, 32)
AT MID LEVEL. THEN MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE EFX PARAMETERS TO
EXAMINE THE TONAL BOOST, SAFELY.
The PMX-05 is equipped with DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR
(DSP) effects. This means you may augment the audio output of
your program mix by processing tones through the 26 different
effects. When an audio signal is processed through the DSP, a
wide range of effects can be achieved with the PMX-05 EFX
section. Please follow these instructions to operate the EFX sec-
tion of your mixer:
1. DRY/WET FADER: To control this section you must adjust the
DRY/WET FADER (34) in order to increase the level of the
effect. Glide the DRY/WET FADER (34) to the RIGHT to
increase the effect, saturating the PGM with WET effects. Glide
the DRY/WET FADER (34) to the LEFT or DRY area to
decrease the effect, thus disabling all effects.
2. EFX ON/OFF: The EFX ON/OFF (38) button has multiple
functions:
- PGM MODE: Tap the EFX ON/OFF (38) button. The blue LED
will turn on to indicate that the DSP effects feature has been
engaged in PGM mode. Tap the EFX ON/OFF (38) button again
and the DSP effects will be disengaged as the LED turns off.
When using the EFX ON/OFF (38) button, you will notice that
once an effect has been engaged, the effect will not change
when scrolling through the EFX selections, using the EFX
SELECTOR (35) as instructed below to find a new effect.
Adjusting the PARAMETER (37) rotary control setting will only
change the engaged effect. In order to change the effect you
must press the EFX ON/OFF (38) button to engage the next
effect and adjust PARAMETER settings.
- CUE MODE: For monitoring in your headphones without
changing the PGM, press and hold the EFX ON/OFF (38) button
until the button starts to blink slowly to indicate that the DSP
effects are engaged in CUE mode. To disengage the CUE
mode, press and hold the EFX ON/OFF (38) button until the
EFX ON/OFF (38) stops blinking.
To disengage the EFX in CUE mode, tap the EFX ON/OFF (38)
button, and you will monitor the CUE without effects. The EFX
ON/OFF (38) button begins blinking shortly indicating that the
DSP effects are not engaged in CUE MODE. To engage the
DSP, tap the EFX ON/OFF (38) button to engage the DSP EFX.
3. PARAMETER: To adjust the PARAMETER, or dynamics of
the effect signal, use the PARAMETER (37) rotary knob to
expand or minimize the effect level of the DSP effects. Rotate
this knob clockwise to expand the effect. Rotate this knob count-
er clockwise to minimize the effect.
When an effect has been engaged, you will notice that scan-
ning through the effects selection will not change the effect.
Adjusting the parameter setting will only change the engaged
effect. Follow the EFX instructions to change the effect and then
you may use the parameter control to adjust the parameter set-
ting of the engaged effect.
4. LCD: The blue LCD (36) shows the EFX selection abbreviat-
ed name, to indicate which effect is activated or which effect
may be activated at the top part of the screen. While the bottom
part of the screen displays the PARAMETER level as controlled by
the PARAMETER (37) rotary knob.
5. EFX SELECTOR: Use the EFX (35) rotary knob to scan
through the 26 DSP effects as indicated in the blue LCD (36)
display. Once you have found an effect you would like to
engage, press the EFX ON/OFF (38) button to preview the DSP
effect. The EFX (35) rotary control can rotate 360 o while scan-
ning through the effects. Rotate the EFX (35) knob clockwise to
scan forward through the EFX list. Rotate the
control counterclockwise to scan backwards through the EFX
list. The effects are listed on page 15.
NOTE: WHEN SCROLLING THROUGH THE EFFECTS YOU WIL FIRST SEE
THE NUMBER OF THE EFFECT, THEN THE LCD (36) WILL AUTOMATICALLY
SWITCH THE VIEW TO THE PARAMETER SETTING. THIS WILL AID IN
SCROLLING TO AN EFFECT QUICKLY BY FINDING THE NUMBER OF THE
EFFECT.
