Thanks for valuable information

[@0not.an.it.guy0]

On my 12FX, the routing of the combined delay+reverb seems off. Only the delay signal is going through the reverb, so I hear a dry voice and a reverbed delay. That couldn't possibly be what they intended.

[@pamboscharalambous3770]

My brother used to have one of these.. i remember the effects were "pre" channel volumes? Is that correct or my memory tricks me? I considered that a major drawback

[@lukenguyen2483]

Thank you , i plan to buy it on Amazon then watch your review video.

[@CaesarConsuloProVita]

Is this good for a DJ looking for an external mixer….to use with a Controller?

[@dipankarkoley3408]

What is 4×4 usb?

[@chrisa9207]

Hi, can you hear the effects through headphones when not plugged into USB? I've read some posts where it's onnly on the master outputs, thanks.

[@redondobruno]

Good question, I need to know this too because I'll be in ear monitoring my vocals on live performances.

[@justifiedsoul69]

Thanks for sharing this, very helpful!

[@eljonasverso]

Can I connect 5 dynamic microphones?

[@soulfulmusictime3315]

Is this good as audio interface for recording quality vocals?

[@gtr834]

I get no power to the Notepad 12fx. How do you turn it on?

[@sidergalejelbrus]

Hi. Can I use external effects and lexicon fx at the same time?

[@redondobruno]

I need to know this also, and if it is possible on the 8FX. I will conect an FX2000 Behring on AUX and return to a channel, but I want to use also the internal effects.

[@Dudsgon]

Thank you. One question.. So when 2 or more fx activated, does parameter knob controls all parameters at once, i.e. increasing the delay amount and reverb time simultaneously? Is there any way to tell it which fx's parameter to change?

[@Olivil]

Look at the manual for more details, but no it only affects one parameter. For instance in delay + chorus, the chorus is fixed and the parameter knob only affects the number of repeats.

[@arthuraslibekyan]

I don’t understand why this nice machine has so bad effects. Cant they build nice reverb?

[@kettnercreative]

To be fair, this mixer is more than a decade old. The real question is why they haven't updated this mixer in any way.
