Digitool
ProCESSING:
The Digitool uses a 32 bit, floating-point DSP to perform all signal processing functions. To achieve optimal
®
performance with this product, maintain a strong nominal level below clipping at the input and at the output.
Use the HARDWARE, input SENSITIVITY control while observing the input meter to optimize input performance.
On the output side, adjust the MATRIX LEVEL OUT while observing the output meter to achieve optimal output
conversion. Use the HARDWARE> MAX LEVEL to best match the output to the product being driven.
The order of the processing functions in the front panel UI and Windows GUI reflects the order those
functions are performed in the DSP. For the inputs, the HARDWARE function is always first, and LEVEL TO
MATRIX is always last. For the outputs, the MATRIX LEVEL OUT is the first process and HARDWARE is last.

The three encoders immediately to the right of the screen are used to navigate the front panel interface.
The top encoder, labeled "Menu," selects the top level selection of the edit screens. These include UTILITY,
MATRIX, INPUT 1-8 or 1-16 and OUTPUT 1-8 or 1-16.
The second encoder, labeled "Function," selects the sub menu function on the selected screen. For example
users can select hardware or filter band on an input or output. On the matrix screen it moves the cursor
horizontally (changes input selection on an output row).
The third encoder, labeled "Parameter," selects the desired parameter to edit on the selected screen. On the
matrix screen, it moves the cursor vertically (changes output selection on an input column).
The large "Adjust" control is used to edit the selected parameter. The Edit button, located to the right of the
knob, must be engaged before the Adjust control can be used. This prevents accidental change of a setting.
For the same reason the Edit button will reset to off if the interface is not used for several minutes. Pressing
the Adjust encoder also performs editing functions. In the matrix screen, pressing the encoder routes or
un-routes the selected cross point. On input and output processing screens, pressing the encoder toggles
the bypass of the function. On other screens with channel assignment check boxes such as the oscillator and
serial control, pressing the encoder toggles the assignment on/off.
The colors on the screen also have special meaning. Blue is used to display a parameter value that can be
edited. A blue reverse-text box indicates the parameter selected for editing. Red indicates a bypass or mute
function. Green text indicates a user-editable label such as a preset or channel name. These labels are
created in the UTILITIES, SAVE PRESET screen or the INPUTx and OUTPUTx, NAME "Function" screens.
MutE ButtoNS:
There are 16 mute buttons on the face of the Digitool . On the MX16 and LIVE, the top row corresponds to
®
inputs 1-8 and the bottom row to outputs 1-8. On the Digitool MX32, the buttons and meters are labeled
1-16. The input/output button, on the MX32 only, determines if the mute buttons and meters reflect the 16
inputs or 16 outputs.
The current status of each input or output is indicated by the lighting the mute buttons. If the button is dark,
that input or output is not assigned in the mix matrix. If the button is red, it is muted. If the button is green,
it is assigned and not muted.
