Controlling a mix with the iLive-T couldn’t be easier.
Its logic and simplicity get the user up to speed and navigating
the system in minutes. The SEL buttons are used to instantly access
all the processing for each strip, whether input, output or FX, with
no menus involved at all, while the MIX buttons provide access to the levels,
sends, assignments and other mix parameters. Selecting the MIX button
on an output strip will immediately bring up the contributions to that
mix from the inputs on the faders (or encoders, if preferred), while
selecting the MIX button on an input strip shows the send levels to each mix.
With these 2 quick select buttons, the whole system can be easily
navigated under the pressure of a live performance.
Processing Strip
The iLive-T Surface features the proven and popular ‘Processing Strip’
found on our flagship iLive system. It’s a combination of dedicated
functional controls for Gain and Preamp, HPF, Gate, Parametric EQ,
Compressor and Limited/De-Esser, which can be applied to any DSP channel
in the iLive system, with full metering within each processing block.
In addition, every processor features a SEL button for parameter copy and
reset, or for headphone monitoring of any point in the channel signal path
including the side-chain filters. All processing is available on each DSP
channel all the time so you can never run out of DSP power!
Graphic EQ
All 32 mix outputs have a 1/3 octave graphic EQ as well as the parametric EQ.
The graphic can be set up on the touch screen or viewed on the surface with the
motorised channel faders controlling the bands and the related frequency and dB
cut or boost displayed on the LCD strip. There is even an RTA display on the meters above the frequency bands.
Surface Mixing controls
Further controls on the iLive-T surface provide copy & paste of settings across strips, navigating between layers and scenes, and a selection of monitor and talkback options. To help identify channels, colour-definable ‘Write-On Blocks’ for channel naming are provided, where the background of the channel LCD can be set to suit the user’s preferences – for example, green for inputs, light blue for auxes, red for DCAs, or to highlight specific inputs.

TouchScreen
The TouchScreen is used to set up and manage iLive’s system configuration and data, and also supports general operations with a graphical display of the signal processing. To get started quickly a variety of Show templates for different classic console set ups is available, or the user can build his preferences for the layout and set up of inputs, masters, DCA groups, routing, etc. from scratch.

Scenes, Shows & Libraries
iLive can store all, or a selection of, parameters within the console as ‘Scene’ memories. These can be used, for example, to store bands’ settings at sound check, make effects changes during songs, cue changes during a theatre production, or to store preferred layouts for different operators. Scenes are then archived with the current configuration and settings into a ‘Show’ file for future use. Personal processing and FX preferences can be named and stored as ’Libraries’. Show and Library memories are easily transported between systems or archived to computer using a USB key.
iLive-T FX
iLive has an array of built-in ‘rack’ FX options modelled on simulations of the best products available, and these are represented graphically on the TouchScreen, from where the FX parameters can be edited. With 8 DSP engines available, there are plenty of options for system effects, such as delay and reverb, as well as inserted effects such as chorus and double tracking. Each of the effects units has a ‘back panel’ where I/O routing is set up.
SMR Reverb - designed for live sound reverb processing, with emulations of industry standard units based on 4 complex models: Classic, Hall, Room and EMT.
2-Tap delay - a comprehensive delay processor providing separate L and R tap delay outputs with onscreen tap tempo for fast and simple set up.
ADT Double Tracker - creates short echo, classic double/quad tracking FX and ‘slapback’ tape delay loops.
Chorus - emulates classic chorus units with additional stereo field enhancement, providing effects from ‘shimmer’ to deep stereo pitch modulation.
Electric Flange – provides emulations of ‘ambient’ tape machine flanging from ‘vintage’ classic sounds to ‘wild’ untameable flange FX.
Symphonic Chorus - the popular 80’s chorus with vox and strings presets.
Hypabass - a sub-harmonic synthesis unit to generate infra and sub-bass spectrum from a weaker bass programme.
Gated Verb - contains the classic 80’s emulation, plus ‘panned’ and ‘powerbox’ gated reverbs, the module also has a visual display of the gate time domain envelope |
