Getting Started 

 

 

 

Welcome to the NRV10 interFX User Guide. 

 

The NRV10 interFX software is an audio 

processing application designed specifically for the NRV10 Mixer, greatly expanding its 
audio processing capabilities.

 

 Typically, you will use NRV10 interFX in a live situation, 

when you want to add more effect processing to microphones and/or other audio 
sources plugged into the NRV10 Mixer. 

 

The channel configuration of NRV10 interFX is 

identical to the NRV10 Mixer, providing four mono channels and two stereo channels. 
Due to this configuration, there is no need to configure the inputs and outputs of NRV10 
interFX. 

 

After launching the software, simply use the per-channel Expander-Gate and 

Compressor, and choose up to two user-definable VST effects per channel.

A Tutorial on Working with the NRV10 interFX 
Software: 

Below is a tutorial that describes the typical workflow of NRV10 interFX. 

 

This tutorial 

assumes that the

 

driver

 

of

 

the NRV10 Mixer is installed, and that the NRV10 Mixer is 

connected to your computer: 

 

 

1.2.1

 

Preparing the NRV10 Mixer for Use with NRV10 
interFX: 

To use the NRV10 Mixer with NRV10 interFX, ensure

 

that

 

the

 

Pre EQ/Post EQ 

button

 

of

 

the

 

NRV10

 

Mixer is pushed out/up before launching NRV10 interFX. 

 

If this 

button is pushed in/down when using NRV10 interFX, you will experience feedback. 

 

In 

addition, ensure that the CH/FW buttons at the top of each channel of the NRV10 Mixer 
are pushed in/down. 

 

This sends the signal from each channel of the NRV10 Mixer to 

the associated channel of the NRV10 interFX software. 

 

NRV10 interFX then outputs the 

processed signals to the related channels of the NRV10 Mixer. 

 

In this way, NRV10
