Check online for new updates and new effect types: www. serato. com/downloads/itch REVERB Reverb is a series of small natural delays or reverberations of the audio signal, creating a spacious atmospheric trail such as you would hear in a cave or in an enclosed space. These reverb 'reflections' are audio ripples that sound like the music is bouncing around from wall to wall. As a digital effect, reverb can allow you to create a sense of space and atmosphere. The time knob adjusts how long the reverb trail is held before dissipating. As the reverb depth becomes fully wet, the original sound gradually disappears. DELAY A delay is when a part of the audio signal is repeated at a later stage. Often called an echo, the delayed signal will repeat the audio signal for a set amount of times (`feedback'). Increasing the FX MIX level will blend the delay level into the original level, until you have 100% delay blended into the original signal. ECHO Similar to the Delay, the Echo effect will repeat the original signal at a later stage for a set number of times before the echo trail dissipates. DIRECT INPUT SOCKET The 3. 5mm Direct Input socket is located on the rear panel below the chassis earth Terminal, this allows for the connection of an external audio source in the event of a system failure. It is recommended that the external audio source used has its own output level control to avoid overload if connected to a large sound system. ANALOGUE OUTPUT CONTROL The MIX and BOOTH controls provide analogue control over their corresponding outputs. This allows for complete attenuation of the soundcard outputs (MIX 1-2, BOOTH 3-4) in the event of a system failure. The MIX output is attenuated before the balanced output stage, so the position of the MIX Level control will not affect the level of the audio on the Direct Input socket. SOUNDCARD HARD RESET The internal soundcard of the Xone:DX can be reset by pressing the recessed button in the base of the unit. The soundcard should only be reset if the Xone:DX fails to connect after the software or computer has been restarted. WARNING: Please ensure that the MIX and BOOTH level controls are fully down (anti-clockwise) before the reset button is activated as digital enumeration noise may be passed to the soundcard outputs. Turn down the MIX and BOOTH output controls Start playback on the external device that is connected to the Direct Input socket Restart software and computer if necessary Reset soundcard if necessary Turn up MIX and BOOTH outputs and mix software audio to external audio Stop playback on external audio device Allen & Heath User Guide for XONE:DX with Serato ITCH 1. 6 34 SOFTWARE OVERVIEW The above screenshot displays the ITCH software.

[. . . ] Unsupported file: This file has a sampling rate ITCH does not support sampling rates greater than 48 kHz. see this message, the simplest approach is to re- sample the audio at 48 kHz and re-save the file. Unsupported file: This file uses more than 24 bits ITCH supports a maximum of 24 bits per sample of audio data. This could be because the file was incorrectly truncated or because the data in the file is corrupt, causing ITCH to incorrectly estimate the amount of data present in the file. [. . . ]
