View buttons rule
Throughout the top panel of the console, you will find small buttons labeled 

View. Press these buttons to immediately switch the console’s large color display 

(known as the Main Display) to show information related to the section whose 

View button you have just pressed. 
For example, if you are editing the equalizer and feel like seeing a large display 

of the EQ frequency response curve or corresponding EQ parameter value, 

simply press the adjacent View button in the EQ section. If you need to check 

where the talkback signal is being routed, simply press the View button next to 

the Talk button and the main display will show the details. 
With the View button approach of the X32 COMPACT console, there is almost 

never a need to drill down through multiple menu pages, since the View buttons 

will always take you directly to the relevant screen. 
Tip: The Setup/Global tab on the main display al ows preferences for the behavior 

of View and Select buttons to be adjusted. 

Customizing the X32 COMPACT through the 

Utilities page 
Press the Utility button, located to the right of the main display, to bring up 

useful functions in a “context-sensitive” manner. For example:
• When you are adjusting the equalizer of a console channel, 

pressing the Utility button will offer copying, pasting, loading or saving 

of equalizer settings 

• Pressing the Utility button while editing a channel’s Preamp/Configuration 

screen will present a naming screen where you can customize the channel’s 

appearance on both the main display as well as the small channel display

• On the Routing pages, pressing the Utility button will offer loading or saving 

different presets of routing scenarios 

• In the Scenes menu, pressing the Utility button offers copying, loading, 

saving or naming console scenes

Sometimes there is more to say

Some of the individual pages on the main display contain 

more adjustable parameters than can be control ed by 

the 6 rotary push encoders located beneath it. In these 

cases there is a small page number indication, e.g. “1/2”. 

Simply press the Layer Up/Down buttons to switch 

between layers.
