I tried doing some searches but I can never get the search function to work properly on this site...

I have a Xone 92 and an EFX 500. I've never been able to successfully hook the two together. Does someone have step-by-step instructions for a retard like myself? I would greatly appreciate it!

I had heard that these two are unable to work together... is that true? Sorry I don't know much about EFX machines...

Thank you,
Keith

are you sure you searched well? there was a thread just a few months ago about exactly this issue.

Yeah I remember the topic too. I'll search for it also, because I might buy an EFX1000 soon so I'd like to see how to plug it in

A&H92 Aux Out ---> EFX Input

EFX Output ---> A&H92 Channel Input

Assign the EFX channel to your xfader, and then assign whatever channel you would like to the effect to work on also to the xfader and then you can use the xfader as a wet/dry fader.

It sounds complicated but once its setup, its very nice to use.

Also, there may be a couple of things I've missed out there as I'm typing this by memory and it was a while back when I set it up.

Keith - This set up makes sense. I didn't think of this setup when i tried to hook it up the other day. I'm so used to the pioneer setup that uses send & receive with a level/depth (wet/dry) knob.

The configuration that agentdansmith recommended should work. Depending on how you set up your EFX, you can always have the xfader set so you hear 100% effect b/c if you have no effect playing, all you will hear is the straight mix. (I say this because I know you really wanted to work with the jog wheel-based effects. For beat-based effects, you will really need the wet/dry feature. Plus the EFX should have its own wet/dry settings.)

Let me know how it works out for you.

can you select a channel to send to the efx this way or will it only apply it to the master??

Every channel outputs through the AUX OUT, but each channel also has its own AUX Out Level knob - so to select which channel I want to go through the EFX unit I just turn the AUX on that channel to MAX and the AUX on the other channel to MIN.

This is, in my opinion, the only functional way to setup a Xone and an EFX. It lacks sends/returns and, as Dan said, sounds incredibly complicated, but most of the Xone is already complicated and it's just another thing that is very easy to use once you get the hang of it.

thanks everyone! when i go home tonight i will try and set it up... you're right, it does sound complicated to me (i don't really know how to use this equipment yet) but i'll be sure to snoop around the manuals and try and set everything up.

thanks so much for the input... if you find that other thread please post the link too.

thanks,
keith

Yeah, I can almost promise you that there are going to be a lot of moments where the sound will just die and you'll just look at the mixer going, "What the fuck just happened?" Hell, I've had my Xone/EFX for almost two years now and I still do that on occasion. Good luck.
