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

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

(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.

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)

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.

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.

Select knob to change the Speed setting. The Speed setting determines how quickly and aggressively the Auto-Tune will correct the
pitch. The range for this setting is 0 to 25, where 0 is the quickest and 25 is the slowest. Push the EFX Select knob when you are done
editing the speed parameter.
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!

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.
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.

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.
