Moving Fader Automation Most parameters of the 328XD can be automated using MIDI continuous controller messages. The merging of sequenced audio and automation data means you don't have to look at two different systems to complete a mix. In addition precision alignment of automation to audio is made easy. 100mm moving faders are used for all input channels, groups, aux, solo and mix levels. 4 Soundcraft 328XD Digital Mixing Console 5 Total control The affordable digital console that of your music production As easy to use as an analogue console, the Soundcraft 328XD combines sophisticated moving fader automation with legendary Soundcraft sonic performance and onboard interfacing to virtually all digital formats. gives you more Designed For The Way You Work Not just an amazing console in its own right, the 328XD is designed to integrate completely with desktop packages. Using the 328XD as a hardware controller and combining its mixing engine with that of a desktop sequencer produces one huge, awesome production centre. Indeed, with its 56-bit internal processing, it makes sense to run desktop audio channels through the 328XD at mixdown. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Up to 42 inputs at Mixdown 8 busses 16 Mic/Line and 5 stereo inputs 16 digital tape returns in ADATTM Optical and TDIFTM formats Integrated meterbank 2 high resolution Lexicon effects units Dynamics processing on every channel 3 band parametric EQ 6 auxes per channel 100mm moving faders Snapshot and comprehensive Dynamic automation Undo/Redo, Copy and Paste functions Solo-in-place, AFL and PFL monitoring MIDI timecode input and output Machine control for all sequencers and many DTRs/HDRs SMPTE input 2 console linking - automatically configured Total status recall on power up Flexibility to route tape sends pre or post fader ·· · · · Advanced control surface for audio software packages Use optional AES/EBU interfaces to seamlessly integrate audio from the 328XD within a DAW environment Upload entire MIDI configurations to the 328XD from your desktop sequencer via SysEx MIDI configurations for the most popular desktop software available for download from the Soundcraft website Vice versa, the 328XD can be controlled via MIDI from desktop software Comprehensive Digital Interfacing Many digital consoles require you to buy digital I/Os as expensive extras. Not the 328XD which includes as standard multitrack interfaces for ADATTM and TDIFTM, stereo digital S/PDIF and AES/EBU I/Os, plus the ability to sync to a wide variety of clock sources. E-asy To Operate The 328XD was designed to operate and be as familiar as an analogue 8-bus console, so you'll be working and mixing straight out of the box. No extensive manual reading is required. All the functions are clearly defined and right where you need them, without the need to scroll through endless, confusing LCD screens. Just one button press gives you instant access to any feature required on a channel, group or master, while the E-Strip provides clarity and individual control. This unique E-Strip can be switched between a horizontal input channel, a dynamics processor or the level controls for the tape returns. Exceptional Sound Quality Dynamics And Effects Precision onboard dynamics processing provides a Gate and Compressor/Limiter on all inputs, groups and the main mix. And, of course, the E-Strip makes set up easy. Two separate onboard Lexicon effects units deliver world-class reverbs, choruses, delays and flangers ­ all easily editable. All too often, the move to a digital console can mean compromising the sound. Not so with the the 328XD which builds on Soundcraft's 28 years of experience and reputation for legendary performance. 328XD Control For These Sequencers And Synths Sequencers Digidesign Pro Tools, TDM Plug-Ins · Steinberg Cubase VST, Nuendo · Emagic Logic Audio · Cakewalk Sonar · Mark of the Unicorn Digital Performer · Soundscape Console Manager Software Synths Steinberg Model E, LM 4, HALion · Emagic ES1, EXS24, EXSP24, EVP73, EVP88 · Waldorf PPG Wave, Attack, D-Pole · Creamware Scope, Pulsar, Luna, Elektra · Native Instruments Reaktor, FM7, Absynth, Dynamo, Battery, Pro-52, B4 Organ · Koblo Studio9000 · TC Works Mercury ·1 Hardware Synths All units which respond to MIDI controller data FX/Dynamics Processors All units which respond to MIDI controller data ·· ·· · UltraMic+TM preamps on all mic inputs 24-bit ADCs and DACs (128 x oversampling) 56-bit internal processing 3-band parametric EQ on all channels.
