CROSSFADER

Rail Glide™

crossfaders have internal

dual stainless steel rails that allow the slider to ride
smoothly and accurately from end to end. Also available
is our is the

RG-45 PRO (RAIL GLIDE™

) crossfader with

a special curve designed for scratch mixing. Just pur-
chase one from your

GEMINI

dealer and follow the

instructions:

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY

PRESSURE WHILE USING THE

CROSSFADER. LIGHTLY GLIDE THE CROSSFADER BACK AND
FORTH. PRESSING DOWN ON THE CONTROLS CAN BEND CON-
TACTS AND CAUSE A LOSS OF SOUND.

5. The

CROSSFADER SLOPE SWITCH

(19) allows you to

adjust the kind of slope the crossfader has. Flip the cross-
fader slope switch up to make the slope steep and cutting
(perfect for scratching). Flip the crossfader slope switch
down to make the slope gradual and gentle.

6. The

CROSSFADER REVERSE SWITCH

(20) allows

you to reverse the crossfader so that

CH 2

(32) is con-

trolled by the left side of the crossfader and

CH 1

(26) is

controlled by the right side of the crossfader.

CUE:

The

CUE FADER

(18) facilitates the seamless

blending of one recorded track into another. Connecting a
set of headphones to the

HEADPHONES

(16) jack allows

you to monitor either

CH 1

(26) or

CH 2

(32). Select

(26) by moving

CUE FADER

(18), located on the front

panel, to

CUE 1

on the left. Listen to

CH 2

(32) by mov-

ing

CUE FADER

(18) to

CUE 2

on the right. To mix both

Channels bring

CUE FADER

(18) to the middle so that

both tracks may be heard. Use

CUE VOLUME

(17) to

adjust the headphone volume without affecting the speak-
er-driven mix.

FILTER/FX SECTION:

The

PMX-04

is equipped with fil-

ter effects. This means you may augment the cut off fre-
quency of your program mix by filtering out the tonal
boost located in the low, mid, and/or high frequency
range.

To control this section you must adjust the

DRY/WET

FADER

(34) in order to increase the depth of the filter

effect. Glide the

DRY/WET FADER

(34) to the right to

increase the filter effect, drowning out the program mix
with a deep, wet effect. Glide the

DRY/WET FADER

(34)

to the left to decrease the filter effect, thus disabling the
filter effects.

Use the

Q FACTOR

(35) rotary control to adjust the

effect's frequency volume. Rotate the Q factor (35) rotary
control clockwise to increase the effect's frequency vol-
ume, giving the effect a very sharp, audible cut-off
response. Rotate the

Q FACTOR

(35) rotary control count-

er-clockwise to decrease the effect's frequency volume,
giving the effect a dull, less audible cut-off response.

Engage the push button

TEMPO ON

(36) to control the

recycling speed of the filter's effect. Use the

TEMPO

(37)

rotary control to adjust the recycling speed of the filter's
effect. Rotate the

TEMPO

(37) rotary control clockwise to

increase the recycling speed of the filter's effect. Rotate
the

TEMPO

(37) rotary control counter clockwise to

decrease the recycling speed of the filter's effect.

Use the

RESONANCE FADER

(38) to channel the

PGM

through variable cut-off frequency responses. Glide the

RESONANCE FADER

(38) to the left to engage the low

pass. You will notice the low frequencies in your program
mix become the focal point in your audio mix. While glid-
ing the

RESONANCE FADER

(38) to the right, you will

reach the mid pass. Notice how the mid tones become
the focal point in your audio mix when you have reached
the middle. When you have reached the right end of the

RESONANCE FADER

(38), you will reach the high pass.

Notice how the treble tones become the focal point in
your audio mix.

NOTE: WHEN USING THE FILTER EFFECT, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE
A TONAL BOOST DURING A HIGH PASS THAT WILL SEND YOUR
MASTER OUTPUT LEVELS INTO THE BLUE (0 T11), AS
INDICATED IN YOUR VU METER (40). ADJUST THE CHANNEL
FADERS (26, 32), IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT
FROM A SYSTEM OVERLOAD. TO BEGIN FILTER EXPERIMENTA-
TION, START WITH A LOW PASS (RESONANCE FADER (38) TO
THE LEFT) WITH YOUR CHANNEL FADERS (26, 32) AT MID LEVEL.
THEN MOVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE MID AND HIGH PASS TO
EXAMINE THE TONAL BOOST, SAFELY.

MIC SECTION:

Connecting a microphone to the 1/4"

MIC JACK

(12) allows voice amplification through the

mixer to the stereo through the

MASTER RCA OUTPUTS

(3). This is controlled by the

MIC VOLUME

(13),

HIGH

(14),

LOW

(15) rotary controls.

10.

OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION:

The level of the

MAS-

TER

(4)

RCA

output is controlled by the

MASTER VOL-

UME

(39) rotary control.

11.

DISPLAYS:

The

DUAL VU METER

(40) indicates the

level of the

MASTER

(4)

RCA

output left and right chan-

nel levels respectively.

DUAL VU METER

(40) reflects the

MASTER VOLUME

(39),

GAIN

(22, 28),

HIGH

(23, 29),

MID

(24, 30) and

LOW

(25, 31) rotary control adjustments

for each channel. The

CH SLIDES

(26, 32) also affect

each of the

DUAL VU METER

(40).
