If you started the sample recording too early, you can still adjust the exact
starting point. This process is non-destructive.
Press the play button of the sample you want to play in a loop.
Now press the "loop intro" button (15) at the same time.
Release both buttons: you will hear very small loops, similar to what you
hear when you put a CD-player frame search mode.
With the "X-parameter" knob (24) you can search for a new starting point.
Press the "loop intro" button again to stop the edit mode and store the new starting
point.
You can repeat these actions until you find the exact starting point.

HOW TO EDIT THE ENDPOINT OF A SAMPLE:
If you stopped the sample recording not at the right moment, you can still adjust the exact
endpoint. This process is non-destructive.
Press the play button of the sample you want to play in a loop.
Now press the "loop outro" button (15) at the same time.
Release both buttons: the sample plays in a seamless loop.
While the loop is playing, you can search for the new endpoint with the "X-
parameter" knob (24) until the loop sounds perfect.
Press the "loop outro" button again to stop the edit mode and store the new endpoint.
HOW TO PLAY A SAMPLE IN LOOP:
Press the play button of the sample you want to play in a loop.
Now press the loop button (16) at the same time.
Release both buttons: the two buttons blink together so you can easily see
which sample plays in a loop.
You can easily re-start the loop simple by pushing the play button again.
To stop the loop, press the loop button (loop continues) and release the button at the
right moment. Once the loop button is released, the loop stops.

SMX-2
ENGLISH
INSTALLING OPTIONAL 19" ADAPTERS
If you want to install the SMX-2 in a 19" rack, you must install 2 optional 19" adapters.
Remove the 3 plastic inserts
on both sides of the mixer.
Remove the 4 screws on both
sides of the mixer. You don't
need these screws anymore
so put them in a safe place, in
case you want to use the
mixer again without the 19"
adapters.
Put one of the 19" adapters in
place and fix it with the 7
screws
supplied
with
the
adapters.
Repeat this with the second
19" adapter.
The mixer is now ready to be mounted in a 19" rack. The total height is 370mm or about
8.5units. Don't forget to add a 1U blind panel, needed for the connectors on top of the
SMX-2.
UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
With this procedure you can upgrade the firmware of both the processor and the DSP.
Upgrading the software is a delicate job so please follow the steps very carefully otherwise
the mixer can be damaged.
VERY IMPORTANT!
DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER YOUR SMX-2 MIXER. YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY
RECEIVE A REMINDER WHEN NEW SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE AVAILABLE!
SURF TO: WWW.SYNQ-AUDIO.COM/REGISTER/
If you upgrade both the processor and DSP software, you must always upgrade the
processor first! Always check the README-file included with a software update before
you start upgrading. Do NOT turn the mixer off or press any button during the upgrading
process! Wait until the display returns to normal. You can only interrupt the upgrading
process, by switching the mixer off, when the display is still dark after 1minute. In this
case the upgrading failed.
HOW TO CHECK THE SOFTWARE VERSION:
Switch the mixer off.
Press the play buttons (23) marked "16" and "32"
together.
Turn the mixer on while you keep both buttons
pressed.
The display shows the software version for both
the microprocessor and the DSP: check the
drawing for more information. In this example the software versions are: Processor = V1.3
and DSP = V1.6
