Experimental SQ testUse SQ MixPad offline for validation. Stereo links must be set manually; only fixture-verified bus, send, SLink output and FX fields are written.
How to load an exported SQ scene
- Back up the active SQ MixPad working directory.
- Close MixPad, then copy the downloaded
SCENE###.DATinto the intendedSHOWS/SHOW####folder. - Use an unused scene number, or deliberately replace that numbered scene. Do not replace
SHOW.DATorNVDATA.DAT. - Reopen the show in offline MixPad and recall that numbered scene. Check every mapped field before use.
!
Experimental WING testWING stereo channels follow the assigned Source mode, not a channel-link switch. Every generated snapshot must still be recalled and re-saved before live use.
How to load an exported WING snapshot
- Back up the active WING Edit Library working directory.
- Close WING Edit, then copy the downloaded
.snapfile into thatLibraryfolder. - Reopen WING Edit and recall the snapshot from its Library. It will not appear through the X32-style browse/open workflow.
- Check stereo Sources, patching and every mapped field, then save a fresh copy from WING Edit.

SIGNAL ORIGIN, POWER & ROUTING
Patching & 48V
Confirm desk routing, soft patches, source sockets, phantom power and Main L/R assignment.
UIN
X32 User In / soft patching is a two-stage route. The Source column chooses the X32 input-pool slot feeding each channel. If that slot is User In, the map below controls the real physical socket behind it; verified Local, AES50, Card In and Aux In edits are written back to the User In table on export.
X32 channel source banks
Fill the X32 input pool in banks of eight, then choose the exact pool slot for each channel in the table below. Source banks may be reused by multiple channel groups.
X32 User In source map
Use this when a channel points at a User In slot. Each row shows the physical socket behind that slot and every channel strip currently fed by it.

WNG

GUARDED CONSOLE LEVEL EDITING
Advanced levels
Edit input faders, physical preamp gain and channel-to-bus sends for X32/M32 and XR18/X Air scenes.
!
Level and gain changes can cause sudden, dangerously loud sound. Any advanced edit activates protected export: input channels, mix-bus masters, matrices and Main L/R are exported muted. Their master fader levels cannot be edited here and remain unchanged.

WHERE SIGNALS LEAVE
Outputs & matrices
Document physical sockets, source assignments and matrix feeds.
OUT
X32 output routing is layered. First choose what each logical Out 1–16 carries, then decide which physical/digital banks carry those output slots. Local Out 1, AES50-A 1 and Card 1 can all receive the same logical Out 1 signal if their banks are routed that way.
X32 output routing map
Use this page from top to bottom: define the signal, choose where it leaves the desk, then keep P16 separate for personal monitoring.
GUIDED OUTPUT BUILDER
Work outwards from the mix, not sideways through tables.
Start with the signal carried by each logical Out slot, then choose which socket banks receive those slots. P16 stays in its own personal-monitor lane.
- 1Pick what the desk should sendSet Out 1–16 to buses, mains, matrices, direct outs or other valid X32 sources.
- 2Pick where it physically appearsRoute Local/XLR, AES50 and Card banks to those output slots or to input/source banks.
- 3Check the plain-English summaryConfirm “what leaves where” before opening the full routing tables.
Logical Out 1–16
The 16 named output slots. These normally carry mix buses, Main L/R, matrices, direct outs, FX sends or aux sources.
Destination banks
Local/XLR, AES50 and Card/USB banks choose complete groups of output slots. Reusing a bank on more than one destination is valid.
User Out soft patch
Advanced native User Out slots are preserved for scenes that use deeper X32 output soft-patching.
P16 / Ultranet
P16 has its own personal-monitor source list and is intentionally separated from the physical output patch.

Guided routing summary
Important output movements will appear here before the detailed tables.
Quick routing setup
Apply common X32 starting points. These update visible routing rows and can be undone from change history.
X32 logical output patch: Out 1–16
Choose the source carried by each logical output slot: Main L/R, mono, mix buses, matrices, direct outs or aux inputs.
| Out | Source | Tap point | Polarity |
|---|
X32 destination bank routing
Route each physical or digital output bank to a complete X32 output source bank. Imported/template routing is preserved unless you change these banks.
X32 User Out soft patch
Advanced native User Out slots are preserved from the scene. Choose a readable source where known, or edit the native code directly for preserved/unsupported values.
Quick User Out setup
Use these only when a destination bank is routed to User Out. They update the visible table and can be undone from change history.
| Slot | Source | Native source code |

P16 / Ultranet personal monitoring
Personal-monitor channels are separate from X32 physical output patching.
