y C.F CURVE
Allows you to adjust the cross-fader response curve from
soft (counter-clockwise) to hard (clockwise).
u C.F REVERSE
Sets the direction of the cross-fader.
When in the OFF, position, moving the cross-fader
toward A increases the volume of the A signal and
moving the cross-fader toward B increases the volume of
the B signal. The ON setting reverses this
i Meters
This pair of peak meters indicates either the post-fader
(PGM or MASTER) MASTER signal level in stereo, or
the mono CUE signal levels.
o Meter selection switch (L/R –CUE/PROG)
Switches the meter indication between the MASTER
program (the switch is up) and the CUE signals (the
switch is depressed).
p EFFECTS ON switch and indicator
When this switch is on, the indicator lights, and the
master external effect loop is active.
a MASTER fader
Adjusts the level of the signal from the MASTER
OUTPUT jacks (both the balanced XLR and the
unbalanced RCA connectors).
s AUX IN LEVEL
Adjusts the level of the signals from the AUX IN jacks.
d AUX IN
Use these unbalanced RCA connectors to connect line
level equipment, such as CD players, cassette decks,
DAT decks, MD players, or another X-17, etc. This input
signal is input immediately pre-MASTER fader.
f AUX OUT LEVEL
Adjusts the signal level output from the AUX OUTPUT
jacks.
g BOOTH OUT LEVEL
Adjusts the signal level output from the BOOTH
OUTPUT jacks.
h REC OUTPUT
These unbalanced RCA jacks output the pre-MASTER
fader signal. This can be useful for a number of purposes:
for example, you could connect a recorder to these jacks,
and record your live performance without the MASTER
level affecting the recording.
j PRE/POST insert switch for REC OUT
This switch controls what is output from the REC OUT
jacks. When this switch is in the PRE setting (the switch
is depressed):
The four PGM signals and the sampler signal,
without the master insert loop.
In the POST setting:
The four PGM signals and the sampler signal,
with the master insert loop, the AUX IN signal,
and both the MAIN and AUX MIC signals.
