Allen & Heath User Guide for XONE:DX with Serato ITCH 1. 6 31 EFFECT TYPES This chapter describes the basic effects shipped with the Xone:DX and ITCH 1. 6. 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. BITCRUSHER Bitcrusher adds distortion and lowers the bit rate resolution of the audio source. This effect can either sound glitchy or overdriven depending on what point your feedback or bit depth is set to. REPEATER This effect repeats audio chunks similar to a loop roll function. You can control Repeater mix depth, the `chance' the playing audio stream will be repeated, the count at which the audio section will be repeated for, and the time of the audio division to be repeated. REVERSER This effect reverses a section of the audio signal, mixing it with the original audio. You can control the depth of the effect mix, the length of the audio stream to be reversed, and the probability of repeating audio. BREAKER The breaker acts like a classic turntable styled 'stop' breaking function, where the audio winds down to a complete stop before resuming playback once again. Depending on the length of the time set this effect can sound like a quick fire stop button break all the way through to the classic "turning the turntable off" technique, allowing the audio to slow down to a complete stop. Allen & Heath User Guide for XONE:DX with Serato ITCH 1. 6 33 DIRECT INPUT In the unlikely event of a software or computer failure, the Xone:DX has a Direct Input system that allows an external audio source to be played through its balanced output stage while the software or computer is restarted. It is also possible to perform a hard reset on the soundcard whilst the software or computer is shut down. 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. [. . . ] ITCH expected more data in the file, but found none. 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. This file contains blocks of data that report their size to be zero. This message was inserted to identify files that might cause lockups on previous versions of ITCH. [. . . ]
