MIDI Control

The Xone:92 has a very subtle feature that could

almost be overlooked with just a casual glance,

but its potential control over external devices is

something to be revelled in. The MIDI controls on

the 92 have been designed specifically to work

with the Korg Kaoss pad. All the faders on the

mixer are voltage controlled (VCA), including the

filters (VCF). The faders not only control

components internally but they can also

manipulate virtually any external MIDI gear via

the internal MIDI converter.

A standard MIDI output connector is situated on

the back, so care should be taken to keep the

rear panel accessible if installed into a booth (or

fit a breakout box for convenient access).

In Sync

There are six controls on the Xone:92 that control

MIDI output. These are the cross-fader, both

filter knobs, the LFO tap button, a start/stop

button and one dedicated MIDI data knob at the

top of the unit. When a tempo is tapped into the

LFO button the 92 instantly starts pumping out a

MIDI Clock. This can be picked up by most effects

units and sequencers that have a MIDI input and

enables timing to be set remotely from the mixer

for delays, chops, etc.

The Data knob is defaulted to act as a fine tuning

tempo controller (also controller 94). Set initially

in the middle (with a dip), turning it to the left

decreases the speed and to the right increases

it. This allows the DJ to hook up a drum machine

and set its tempo straight from the mixer. The

start/stop button uses the standard controller for

all MIDI machines and the stop action also sends

a rewind message to bring the track to the

beginning. This is the only mixer that actually

supports live performance in this way.

Custom Control

The cross fader is set to controller number 92,

which turns the effects on and off on the Kaoss

Pad. The two frequency knobs on the filters also

control the X and Y of the Kaoss Pad (controller

12 and 13). The Xone:92 can actually be opened

up to change certain MIDI setting, as described

in the manual. These are modified using little

micro switches.

MIDI control can be turned off on the cross fader,

as some will not use this. The global MIDI

channel can also be set to either 15 or 16. And

the data knob can be switched to control effects

depth on the KP2 (controller 95) insted of fine

tunimg the internal MIDI clock. When using a

computer, most software – namely Ableton Live

– can map any controller input number to any

control in the software so the 92 is not limited in

this way. The standard controller numbers set to

each feature on the mixer might not work with

every FX unit, but you can check the

specifications to see which ones match up.

CONCLUSION

The Xone:92 is rock solid in both

build and sound quality. The

improvements over the Xone:62

are very valuable, particularly the

new MIDI clock/control which is

a leading concept. The new dual

filters are also very useful - the

first mixer capable of blending

two tracks with two filters using

one knob or cross fader. The

Xone:92 is the perfect club mixer

for today’s forward thinking DJ.

Many of the features may never

be used by some, but even for

conservative DJs, the filters and

EQ alone add unrivalled polish to

any set.

The inspiration

for the Xone:92

Initially, Richie Hawtin

worked with A&H to modify

his Xone:62 – creating his

‘62 CTRL’ which was, in

part, the inspiration for the

Xone:92. With invaluable

help from his father

Michael, and cooperation

from A&H designer Andy

Rigby-Jones, Richie built the

most advanced DJ mixer

and live controller in the

world.

Richie: "We changed the mic

channel EQs into the same

ones on the normal

line/phono channels, then

added cross-fader assigns

to all the channels and a

second auxiliary send for

more EFX. Then my father

and I added the second

series of modifications that you can see on the left-hand side of the mixer. We replaced the fader and

EQ knobs with new MIDI control knobs and faders. We added extra buttons and mounted a MIDI

input jack for using a foot controller/switch for further controls. The final assortment of MIDI added

was; six rotary MIDI knobs, six on/off MIDI trigger switches, two toggle on/off MIDI switches (with LED

feedback lights), MIDI fader, MIDI LED activity light and MIDI output jack on the rear of the unit. A few

other things were added, but that was the bulk of it."

Richie Hawtin

on the Xone:92

"The 92, is a huge step

forward in the development of

mixer design. To have a mixer

in production with all its

capabilities is still somewhat

mind blowing. "My 62 CTRL

has 16 controllers, so once

you get used to so much

control and all the

possibilities it’s hard to go

back. But for the rest of the

people out there who don’t

have the luxury of a 62 CTRL

(only two exist), the 92 is not

a step back, its a huge, huge,

huge step forward over the 62

and everything else out there.

"Saying that, I'm waiting for

the 92 CTRL version, which

Andy, my father and I are

currently working on. Ha ha!"
