The app allows you to navigate between pages and fully control the mixer’s parameters even while playing. DYNAMIC COMPRESSOR MIC/LINE inputs 1 to 4 are provided with a single control dynamic compressor. The control slider acts on the amount of compressor intervention. A dedicated button toggles the compressor ON and OFF. Up to 6 different presets can be selected from the Compressor Model list: LIGHT, HEAVY, VOCAL, BASS, ACOUSTIC, and DRUM. MAIN CHANNEL A 7-band graphic EQ on the Main Channel lets you shape the frequency response of the system. In order to have a powerful overall sound, limiting peaks and more harmonics, four mastering processing presets can be selected: MASTERING, MASTER BOOST, LOUD & PROUD, and HI-FI. TONS OF EFFECTS 80 High Quality effects presets from the premium Z.CORE.DSP, each with three parameter controls: 40 different reverbs, providing a realistic simulation of large spaces, such as halls, rooms or hardware reverbs; 20 different delay types; 20 modulation effects to shape any nuance of your music.
