PAD (CH. 1-7)

When engaged, the pad reduces the input signal by 25dB. If you notice distortion from a particular channel or if the channel becomes loud very quickly, try engaging this switch. In addition to increasing the dynamic range, the channel can now accommodate a higher input level before clipping occurs, which may be helpful when close-mic’ing a loud guitar amp or drum kit, for example.

MEDIA INPUTS (CH.8 RCA and

INPUT SELECT SWITCH (CH. 8)

This switch allows the user to select the input signal being sent to channel 8. In the “up” position, the Mic-Line preamp is active. In the “down” position, the RCA-

3.5mm media inputs are active.

5

AUTO-TUNE ON/OFF (CH 1-3)

Each of the first three channels of the XR-AT can be routed through the world famous Auto-tune processing for automatic pitch correction. These three backlit switches indicate the status of the Auto-tune in each channel. They also allow the Auto-tune process to be bypassed with the push of a button. When the switch is lit, Auto-tune is active. When it is dark, the Auto-tune process is bypassed.

COMPRESSOR AND COMP LED

6

(CH 1-7)

This knob adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel. As the knob is turned to the right, the mixer automatically raises the compression ratio while adjusting the output gain accordingly. The result is a

narrower, more even dynamic range, as louder signals are softened while the overall level is boosted. Avoid setting the knob too high, however, as excess compression may lead to feedback. The LED will light red when the signal level is high enough to activate the compression.

7

HIGH EQ

This High EQ shelving type of active tone control varies the treble frequencies (+/- 15 dB at 12kHz) and is designed to remove noise or add brilliance to the signal, depending on the quality of the source.

MID-MORPH EQ (CH. 1-7)

8

Where most mid-range controls work at just one frequency, the Mid-Morph works at two. When turned counterclockwise, it cuts at 250Hz to reduce frequencies that muddy the sound. When turned clockwise, it boosts at 4kHz to add intelligibility to vocals. Either way, improved vocal or instrument definition can be achieved.

Master Controls

USB PLAYBACK:

First, make sure channel 9 is in USB playback mode by checking the status of the Ch 9 INPUT button (37). When the switch is dark, channel 9 is in USB playback mode. If it is blinking or solid blue, it is in Bluetooth mode. The bottom of the LCD display will say “Insert USB Drive” when in USB playback mode.

Insert your USB drive in the USB Media Jack (17) at the top of channel 9. The mixer will now go into folder navigation mode.

In folder navigation mode, you can navigate through all of the folders present in the USB drive. The first folder in the list will always be “<ROOT>”. This is the root directory of the USB drive and will contain any songs that are not in a specific folder. To navigate, use the “Media Select” encoder (36). To select a folder, press the “Media Select” encoder. Once you select a folder, the mixer will enter song navigation mode and will display all of the playable songs in that folder.

In song navigation mode, you can select a song by turning and pressing the “Media Select” encoder or by pressing the “Next” and “Previous” switches. If you were currently playing a song and selected a new song, the mixer will automatically start playing the new song. If you were paused or stopped, the mixer will select the new song and remain stopped. To fast forward a song, press and hold the “Next” switch, and to rewind a song, press and hold the “Previous” switch.

To go back to folder navigation mode, scroll all the way to the left and there will be an option called “<FOLDERS>”. Selecting this item will enter folder navigation mode, where you can select another folder of songs.

If a folder is selected that has no playable songs, “No Songs” will be displayed on the LCD. Scroll to the left and select “<FOLDERS>” to go back to folder navigation mode and select another folder.

When feedback occurs, the corresponding LED of the frequency that is closest to the frequency that is feeding back will illuminate over the slider to be adjusted. Slowly bring the corresponding slider down until feedback is gone. The LED will remain illuminated for a few seconds after the feedback is gone. If the feedback doesn’t return, all of the LEDs will become active again, acting as a normal EQ.

GRAPHIC EQ

These nine-band Equalizers are designed to either be used to reduce feedback or to adjust the overall frequency response of the signal being sent to the amplifiers. Subtle adjustments made with the graphic equalizer can improve the way your loudspeaker system sounds in the room. You should be aware however, that setting large amounts of boost or arbitrary curves can reduce amplifier headroom, leading to

The display will now change to the current Detune setting. Turn the EFX Select knob to change the Detune setting. The Detune setting determines how the Auto-Tune pitch correction is calibrated. When the Detune setting is 0 cents, this means the Auto-Tune is calibrated to the standard A440, or where the note A4 equals 440 Hz. The range of the Detune setting is -64 to 63 cents, a width of 128 cents. The distance between two notes, or semitones, is 100 cents, which means that the Auto-Tune can be detuned to fit any possible environment.

NOTE: Detuning the Auto-Tune can be very useful, especially when being used in conjunction with an instrument that is not easily tuned on-the-fly. For example, if a piano is accompanying Auto-Tuned vocals and the piano is slightly out of tune from the A440 stan dard, simply change the Detune setting in the Auto-Tune setting. This is much easier and takes much less time than having some one tune the entire piano! Also, although the Detune setting is changed in the Auto-Tune preset edit mode, this is a global param eter. This means if you change the Detune setting and then later change the Auto-Tune preset, the Detune setting will not change.

Once you have selected the appropriate Detune setting, press the EFX Select knob to exit Auto-Tune preset edit mode. To restore all Auto-Tune presets back to factory settings, press and hold the EFX Select knob for 5 seconds and select "Y" when prompted.

NOTE: Preset 9 is chromatic with speed set to 7. It is recommended for general purpose, safe, easy use of Autotune, without having to adjust any settings. The slower speed setting does not produce a robotic effect on the voice, and all twelve semitones are allowed. Just remember to use footswitch #2 to bypass Autotune between songs, otherwise your speaking will be Autotuned!

POWER AMP 2 SPEAKER OUTPUTS (MAIN MIX or MONITOR MIX)

Dual two-conductor 1/4" – Speakon combination jacks that can be connected to your speakers. Each amplifier has a minimum load impedance of 4 ohms. This means you can connect either one 4-ohm, one 8-ohm or two 8-ohm speakers to each amplifier. Do not operate below rated minimum impedance. For maximum power transfer and to prevent damage to your amplifier, be sure to use speaker cables and not instrument cables to connect to the speakers. We recommend the use of 18-guage or larger speaker wire. The signal going to Power Amp 2 is determined by the position of the Power Amp 2 Assign switch (38). In the “MAIN” position, the main mix is fed to power amp 1 and power amp 2. In the “MON” position, the main mix is fed to power amp 1 and the monitor mix is fed to power amp 2.

FOOTSWITCH EFFECTS DEFEAT (TS) This 1/4" jack accepts a momentary

1/4" momentary, dual - footswitch (Peavey Part# 03014070) designed to defeat the effects on all channels or toggle the Auto-tune on/off. Pressing switch 1 of the footswitch will toggle the effects on and of. The condition will be indicated by the EFX Defeat button o the front panel, when defeated, the button will be red. When the effects are active, the button will be dark. Pressing switch 2 will toggle the Auto-tune on /off (globally). The status will be indicated by the three Auto-tune on/ off switches (5) at the top of the first 3 channels. If Auto-tune is active, the switch will be amber. If it is inactive, the switch will be dark.

AUTO-TUNE FOOTSWITCH

MIDI In/Footswitch This 8-pin DIN connector is provided for the connection of the Peavey 5-Button MIDI Footswitch. Preferably this should be connected before the

mixer is powered up. See the “Peavey 5-Button MIDI Footswitch” section of this manual for a more detailed explanation of operation. This can also be used as a MIDI IN connection, using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable, if the mixer is going to be controlled by a separate MIDI

controller other than the Peavey footswitch. See the “MIDI” section of this manual for a more detailed explanation of the MIDI features.

PEAVEY 5-BUTTON MIDI FOOTSWITCH

The XR-AT Auto-Tune® can be controlled using the Peavey 5-Button MIDI Footswitch. Connect the footswitch to the XR-AT with the 8-pin MIDI cable provided with the footswitch. The 8-pin cable must be used because it provides power to the footswitch. The footswitch will initialize itself and reflect the current Auto-Tune preset selection. Below are the descriptions of each button on the Peavey 5-Button MIDI Footswitch for the XR-AT.

1 = Auto-Tune Enable/Disable (LED Green = Enabled, LED Red = Disabled) 2 = Preset Selector 1 3 = Preset Selector 2 4 = Preset Selector 3 5 = Preset Bank Selector (LED Off = Bank 1 , LED Red = Bank 2, LED Green = Bank 3)

Pressing the Auto-Tune Enable/Disable button will globally disable all Auto-Tune channels. This is useful when a performer is speaking between songs at a performance; the performer can disable the Auto-Tune while speaking into the microphone so that the XR-AT does not apply Auto-Tune to their speech. Pressing the switch again will enable the Auto-Tune channels that were enabled previously. If the Auto-Tune is globally disabled and one of the Auto-Tune channel buttons on the XR-AT mixer is pressed, the Auto-Tune will automatically globally enable but will only enable the Auto-Tune channel that was selected.

Buttons 2-4, the Preset Selector buttons, allow the performer to change Auto-Tune presets on-the-fly along with button 5, the Preset Bank Selector. Below is a table describing which Auto-Tune preset will be selected when using the Preset Selector buttons and the Preset Bank Selector button.

BANK 1 (LED OFF) BANK 2 (LED RED) BANK 3 (LED GREEN) Preset Selector 1 Preset 1 Preset 4 Preset 7 Preset Selector 2 Preset 2 Preset 5 Preset 8 Preset Selector 3 Preset 3 Preset 6 Preset 9

MIDI

The XR-AT Auto-Tune is also capable of being controlled with other types of MIDI controllers by using a standard 5-pin MIDI cable. It is capable of receiving Control Change messages and Program Change messages, as laid out by the MIDI standard. This is the information you need to mate this mixer with other MIDI devices.

MIDI CC:

MIDI Control Change messages are used to change one function at a time. After selecting a preset (see MIDI Program below), modifications to that preset can be done with these messages.

Note: The XR-AT is designed to receive MIDI messages on MIDI Channel 1, so the first byte of every Control Change message should be B0h.

CONTROL CONTROLLER NUMBER DATA Channel 1 Enable 01h 00h-3Fh (Off) OR 40h-7Fh (On) Channel 2 Enable 02h 00h-3Fh (Off) OR 40h-7Fh (On) Channel 3 Enable 03h 00h-3Fh (Off) OR 40h-7Fh (On) N/A 04h N/A Speed 05h 00h-19h (0-25) N/A 06h N/A N/A 07h N/A Detune 08h 00h-7Fh (0-127)

Example: B0 05 0F Changes Speed to 15

MIDI PROGRAM:

MIDI Program Changes are used to recall Auto-Tune presets. The XR-AT is designed to receive MIDI messages on MIDI Channel 1, so the first byte of every Program Change message should be C0h. The

second byte should be the preset number minus one. Example: C0 05 Recalls Auto-Tune preset 6
