WARNINGS
ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES
Although your new console will not output any sound until you feed it signals, it has the capability
to produce sounds which, when monitored through an amplifier or headphones, can damage hear-
ing over time.
Please take care when working with your audio — if you are manipulating controls which you don’t
understand (which we all do when we are learning), make sure your monitors are turned down. Remember that
your ears are the most important tool of your trade, look after them, and they will look after you.
Most importantly — don’t be afraid to experiment to find out how each parameter affects the sound — this will
extend your creativity and help.

Ui24R User Manual 2.0: GETTING STARTED
GETTING STARTED - AN INTRODUCTION TO THIS MANUAL
Anyone with minimal audio experience should be able to operate the Soundcraft Ui Series consoles
without reading too much of this manual, though we do recommend you take the time to go through it.
An excellent place to start would be the feature list on the introductory page (section 1.0), the Wi-Fi
and software set-up guide (3.1), and the software control guides for phone (3.2) and tablet (3.3) soft-
ware.
To get started with Ui control,

On one side panel you will find the power connector and power switch; on the other you will find the
RESET button, FOOTSWITCH connection, two USB ports, and the Ethernet (wired LAN) connection).
PHONES
Set level for headphones outputs
This controls the overall level of headphone output one. Individual headphone volume control can be
achieved through the SETTINGS control page. The headphone source signal defaults to the main stereo
signal but switches to the Solo bus when AFL or PFL is selected.
MIX L / MIX R
Set levels for MIX L and Mix R outputs
The Mix output is the Ui’s main left/right stereo output and appears on both the XLR and Jack Mix L/R out-
puts.
COMBO INPUT
Connection for 1/4” TRS/TS Jack (Line) or XLR (Mic level)
The input number corresponds to channel number in the Ui control software.
XLR Input
Mic XLR Input
The input number corresponds to channel number in the Ui control software.
LINE IN
Line level RCA inputs
The RCA inputs feed the Line In L and Line In R channels in the UI mixer.
HEADPHONES OUT
Headphone sockets
These are not independent, meaning each output receives the same signal. The headphone outputs receive
the same audio signal as the main outputs unless a channel Solo is active note the volumes can be inde-
pendently controlled in the SETTINGS page as well as the SOLO level.
2.2: Hardware I/O And Control

MIX L/R OUTPUT - XLR

Master Channel XLR outputs
The Master Channel XLR and jack outputs are parallel connections (identical).
MIX L/R OUTPUT - JACK

Master Channel Jack outputs
The Master Channel XLR and jack outputs are parallel connections (identical).
AUX/MATRIX OUTPUTS
Physical outputs for the Aux/Matrix outputs
The Ui24R has 8 x Aux/Matrix outputs. Aux/Matrix outputs are assigned in software.
2 TRK MEDIA - PLAY

USB Socket for USB Flash Drive with audio playback files
2 track Audio files must be saved to the USB stick as either MP3, AAC, .WAV, .OGG, .AIFF, or .FLAC files.
See section 9.0.

the footswitch itself must be a non-latching type. The SETTINGS page has a variety of functions that can be
assigned.
Side USB Connectors 1 & 2

May be used for Connecting Keyboard, Mouse and Touchscreen
There are USB connections on the front panel of the unit for audio recording and playback.
HDMI Connector
Supports HDMI Video standard
Complete Mixer Web Interface is displayed on HDMI screen. Please note if using DVI and VGA adaptors
they must be active. Performance will depend on other concurrent functions which are being used in the
mixer. (eg. while recording to USB MTK stick you may see a slow down in screen update)
ETHERNET
Standard RJ45-wired connector for use with wired Ethernet.
A wired Ethernet conenction to the Ui is the most secure. See section 10.1 for more details on network set-
tings and configurations. By default the IP address is 10.10.2.1.

Wi-Fi Indicator
Shows Wi-Fi is operating normally
The indicator also shows Wi-Fi boot status during power up. It stops its timed flash sequence when booted
and available for connections. Then flashes with data activity.
If the WiFi LED keeps flashing it can mean the firmware is not loading into the DSP. Make sure latest firm-
ware is loaded into the unit and that the DC power connector is properly screwed on.
ETHERNET 2
Future Expansion Port
Wi-Fi Antenna
Necessary for wireless network connection - Hotspot or WiFi
Make sure the Antenna(s) are firmly screwed into their sockets and normally orientated vertically. For more
information on wireless network settings, see section 10.1. The Ui24RR ships with 2 WiFi antenna’s for bet-
ter wifi performance. The second antenna is on the right side of the Ui24R.

Ui24R User Manual 2.3: INPUT CHANNEL ROUTING
GETTING STARTED > INPUT CHANNEL ROUTING
The diagram shows the audio signal path through an input channel - from physical input to bus sends
(Aux, FX, Mix, and so on).
Please note: The entire signal path (except for the hardware pre and output DACs) is clip-free with infinite
headroom. It means that internal clipping is not introduced even by driving the EQ/Dyn to the max.
Sufficiently reducing the level on the Master Channel strip will get rid of any clipping on the output.

USB AUDIO DRIVER

The Ui24R requires the use of the Soundcraft SI Impact Audio Driver for multichannel USB playback and
recording.
It can be downloaded via:

http://www.soundcraft.com/en/softwares/soundcraft-multichannel-usb-audio-driver-v3-20 or above
IMPORTANT!
Note that if you have any type of zip file (other than the update file) in any directory on the
USB key already, the software update will not work. Note Mac OS by default unzips down-
loaded files which will render the firmware update incompatible.
3.0.1: SOFTWARE UPDATES & REQUIREMENTS

Ui24R User Manual 3.0.2: RESET THE MIXER
SOFTWARE > RESET THE MIXER
There are two levels of reset for the Ui mixer. The first will reset network settings in the event that you
are unable to connect. The second (uses a fullreset.txt file on a USB memory stick in conjunction with
the reset button. This will fully reset the unit back to its factory firmware and default settings.
Networking Reset
Reset Networking and Admin password if you have forgotten the admin password or if you are no longer
able to connect to the Ui.
Use a paper clip (or similar) to hold down the recessed reset button (side panel) down for approximately
10 seconds while you power on the unit. This will initialise the Ui’s networking and admin password to the
default state.
Full Reset
This method removes all updates you may have performed on the mixer and returns the unit to its
default factory shipping firmware and state. All settings, snapshots, users, profiles and shows will be lost.
Please ensure you have saved/backed up any shows before resetting your Ui.
1) Create a test file named fullreset.txt (no contents necessary) and copy to a USB stick
2) Insert the USB stick into one of the Ui’s USB ports.
3) Use a slim, long object to hold the reset button down for approximately 10 seconds while you power on
the unit.
4) The Ui will recognise the fullreset.txt file on the USB stick and perform a full factory reset.
5) You must power cycle the unit and reconnect the client device. Power off for at least 10-15 seconds be-
fore powering back on.
Note: A flick of the power off/on will almost always fail to boot properly, and can get stuck (with continuous
flashing blue Wi-Fi LED). Make sure to power off, wait 10-15 seconds, then power on. The blue Wi-Fi LED
will pulse/flash for around 10-15 seconds then remain on.

Ui24R User Manual 4.0: MIXER CHANNELS
MIXER CHANNELS
The Ui mixers has a variety of input and output channel types. You can view all channels in the main
MIX screen and drag-scrolling along the virtual console. You can also use the MIX page Slideout
panels to select specific channel types and preset views.
INPUT CHANNEL - sections 4.1 and 4.2

A Ui Input channel consists of a GAIN section (physical input, pre-amp, phase, phantom power etc) and the
MIX section. Input channels feed the main stereo bus (to the Master Channel), the aux send busses (to the Aux
Master channels), and the FX send busses (and on to the FX Returns). An input channel’s contribution to these
busses is controlled on the relevant software page, or in the channel’s EDIT screen.
AUX SENDS / AUX MASTER CHANNEL - section 4.3

Aux Outputs (short for Auxiliary) are the outputs on the top right of the Ui hardware. These outputs each have
their own mix of input sources, separate from the master mix. Generally, aux outputs are used for musicians to
hear their own mix on stage via a stage monitor speaker or to headphone amplifiers for in-ear monitoring.
Alternatively, the aux outputs can be sent to external hardware FX units.
SUB GROUP MASTER CHANNEL - section 4.5

If you want to have individual control over the drum kit mix components, for example, but also want single fader
control over the whole kit’s contribution to the mix, you would use a Sub Group.
FX SENDS / FX RETURN CHANNEL - section 4.4

FX SENDS faders effectively determine the amount of effect on each input channel. They work much like aux
sends in that a mix of input channel contributions is created on the FX SENDS page - one for each FX
processor.
MASTER CHANNEL - section 4.6

The Master Stereo Channel is the output channel for the main stereo (left & right) mix - determined by the input
channel and FX Return channel faders and pan/balance controls.

The Gain page allows you to control the input stage aspects of a Ui input channel. It is a channel strip-type
display with red fader level indicators.
TABLET: Click/tap MIX/GAIN button to toggle MIX and GAIN pages.

PHONE: Use the GAIN menu button to navigate to the GAIN page.
NOTE: The GAIN screen has the Input Display and Pan/Balance controls in common with the MIX screen -
please see section 4.2 for details.
All Ui mixer models include remote gain control and remote phantom power. This great feature allows you to
change the Microphone input Gain and Phantom Power remotely on your Ui software without needing to touch
the hardware).
GAIN
The audio inputs have an input gain range from -10dB up to +60dB. It’s a good idea to make sure the gain
fader is down when plugging in new sources. Avoid ‘clipping ‘ the input - when you see the red clip light
constantly registering, the signal will be distorted. Simply reduce the gain to avoid this.
When you switch to MIX from GAIN, the volume faders change to GAIN faders (red line underneath the fader
knob). In the tablet software, the MUTE and SOLO buttons change to +48V (Phantom power) and ϕ (Phase
Reverse) and Delay buttons. In the phone software those controls are in the EDIT page (you can double-tap a
channel name to switch to the EDIT page faster). Note when a DAW input is selected to a channel the gain con-
trol will be moved to the DAW gain section.

Ui24R User Manual 4.1: INPUT: GAIN PAGE
PHANTOM POWER
Phantom Power is required to power certain microphones such as condenser microphones,
or other active
devices such as an active DI. It is activated per channel. You can get an overview of phan-
tom power status in the METERS screen (blue indicator).
When phantom power is activated, the channel output is momentarily muted to avoid tran-
sients being
transmitted to the rest of the audio chain (protecting your PA speakers).
PHASE REVERSE
Reversing the phase can help eliminate unwanted frequencies that may result in feedback
or simply help correct the sound when it sounds ‘out of phase’ or not quite right.
HI-Z (Only available on CH1 and CH2)

High voltage, Low current sources like guitars, keyboards and basses will benefit from using
the Hi-Z input on CH1 and CH2.
INPUT DELAY
The Input delay can be varied from 1-250ms. This will enable the user to allow for different
microphone placements on a large stage for example. By delaying the input signals form
various sources, the user can create a more coherent mix.
Enter the GAIN tab. Each input fader bay will offer a delay button. When pressed a delay
entry modal will open allowing user input of selected delay value.
The user enters a delay value in ms, meters, ft, or samples.

Ui24R User Manual 4.3: AUX SENDS
CHANNELS > AUX SENDS
Aux Outputs (short for Auxiliary) are the outputs on the top right of the Ui hardware. These outputs each
have their own mix of input sources, separate from the master mix. Generally, aux outputs are used for
musicians to hear their own mix on stage via a stage monitor speaker or to headphone amplifiers for in-ear
monitoring. Alternatively, the aux outputs can be sent to external hardware FX units.
AUX SENDS is where the aux mixes are created - these can be for monitor outputs, for external FX sends, and
more. They have dedicated outputs on the Ui hardware. The aux faders have orange level indicator lines and
determine how much of each input channel is contributed to the Aux bus. Ui24R has 8 main Aux busses
available.You can view all aux contributions from a single channel by navigating to that channel’s EDIT page and
selecting the AUX SENDS screen / tab.
Select the AUX tab you wish to mix (AUX 1 to AUX 8), and then adjust the channel volumes (contributions from
input channels). The AUX SEND fader on the right (orange fader) is the Aux Master channel fader - the
overall output volume for your AUX mix.
Aux Master channel faders can be viewed together either with the AUX MASTERS button in the Tablet version
Slideout panel, or from the JUMP TO option in the phone software slideout panel. You can also scrolling to the
right-hand end of the Mix page channels. Aux Master channels can be renamed and stereo-linked (see below).
STEREO AUX
Stereo-linking channels is possible for both the input channel sends and the Aux Masters. To stereo link Auxes,
use the Aux Master channel sub-menu (long-click/tap on the channel name).
Go to the channel pop-up menu (long click channel name) to access the Stereo Link feature. When 2 mono input
channels are stereo-linked on the main MIX page, those channels will also be stereo-linked on the AUX SENDS
page. (2 channels panned left & right with a green link line above the dB display).

It is possible to send FX to your aux mix. Scroll to the end of the channel list and you will see the FX RETURN
faders.When adding the FX you are adding a global FX signal from the main mix.

Ui24R User Manual 4.4: FX SENDS
CHANNELS > FX SENDS
FX SENDS faders effectively determine the amount of effect (delay, reverb, chorus) on each input channel.
They work much like aux sends in that a mix of input channel contributions is created on the FX SENDS
page - one for each FX processor. After processing, that mix is returned via its own FX Return channel,
which works just like an input channel - adjusting the overall level of that processor’s mix in the master
stereo mix. The FX Return channel for the selected FX processor is shown in the FX SENDS view, next to
the Master Channel.
All FX Return channels can be viewed either by scrolling in the main MIX view, by choosing FX RETURNS from
the Slideout panel in the tablet software, or from the JUMP TO option in the phone software Slideout panel.
You can view all FX contributions from a single channel by navigating to that channel’s EDIT page and selecting
the AUX SENDS screen / tab.
In the FX SENDS page, first select which effect you wish to adjust using the tabs. Adjust the grey faders to
increase or decrease the contribution of that channel to the selected FX processor. Adjust the blue FX RETURN
fader labelled FXR 1 REVERB to control the total amount of REVERB heard in the mix.
Input channel FX Sends can be individually muted in the FX SENDS page.
NOTE: FX sends are POST FADER, meaning a change of level on the main mix page affects the level
sent to the FX processor. This ensures that each input channel’s contribution to the FX send is always
proportional to its prominence in the main mix.

Ui24R User Manual 5.3.1: AFS2
CHANNEL EDIT > GRAPHIC EQ > AFS2
AFS2 is a dbx feedback suppression system that uses 12 intelligent filters to detect and eliminate
feedback across the audio spectrum. You can set AFS2 up on the master stereo output and/or Aux bus
master channels by navigating to the channel’s Edit screen and selecting the EQ tab.
AFS2 works in two modes. Fixed mode is used for ‘ringing out’ a system before a performance to ensure
maximum headroom. Live Mode, continuously updates filter placement and is used during a performance.
Live filters are smarter than Fixed filters. They have the ability to detect feedback within complex program
material. This makes them ideal for protecting the system from feedback as conditions change during the
performance. Live filters can also detect when they are no longer needed and remove themselves from the
chain, effectively restoring sonic fidelity and freeing up Live filters for use elsewhere.
In normal operation, you would setup AFS2 in Fixed mode before a performance, then switch to Live mode
for the actual performance.
Ringing Out The Sound System

Fixed filters are set before a performance in a process called ‘ringing out a system’. This is done after all
other system EQ has been performed. Ringing out the sound system for feedback before use allows you to
squeeze more gain out of the system before the onset of feedback and can help ensure you’re not right at
the edge of feedback during system use.
dbx AFS2 SETUP

Set up and operate the feedback elimination system for this bus.
A dialogue box will open up with setup options.
CLEAR FILTERS
Clear the AFS2 filters for a new performance / set-up
All filters need to be cleared before normal set-up. However, you can also reset the Live and Fixed filters
independently, depending on need.

Ui24R User Manual 5.3.1: AFS2
CHANNEL EDIT > GRAPHIC EQ > AFS2
AFS2 MODE
Choose LIVE, FIXED, or LOCK
Fixed mode is for pre-performance set-up, Live mode is for use during performance, and LOCK prevents
changes to the current filters status.
SENSITIVITY
Adjust the input level feeding the AFS2 detector and make AFS2 more or less prone to mark a
signal as feedback.
Setting this parameter high will allow AFS2 to detect the feedback and notch it out more quickly. Conversely,
setting it low will cause AFS2 to be a little more hesitant to set a filter on the feedback until it reaches a
higher level.
ON/OFF
Turn ON the AFS2 process.
You must make sure AFS is switch ON to use the process.
Manual AFS2 Set-up in FIXED mode (Ringing Out The System)
1) Make sure all filters are cleared and set the AFS2 process to Bypass using the blue bypass button.
2) Perform a sound check and set up a rough mix for all microphones that will be active during the
performance. Take note of the output fader position for the aux master or stereo master that you are ringing out – your
TARGET GAIN will be around 5dB above this (see step 6).
3) If noise gates are being used on active mics – including inside FX processors, bypass them before
ringing out the system. You can re-enable them once the ring-out procedure is complete.
4) Have the musicians stop playing and fully lower the master bus faders. NOTE: When ringing out the system in
Fixed Mode, any sustained sound detected by AFS2 will trigger Fixed filters to be set. Therefore, make sure the micro-
phones are active, but there is no appreciable signal present at the mics.
5) Ensure the musicians are not playing, then set the FILTER MODE parameter to FIXED.
6) Un-bypass the AFS2 process then slowly raise the master fader until you reach your target gain
(described in step 2) or run out of Fixed Mode filters, whichever happens first.
7) Lower the Master bus fader back to performance level.
8) Set the FILTER MODE parameter to LIVE. The system is now ready for use and any available Live filters will be
available for on-the-fly feedback suppression during the performance.

Ui24R User Manual 5.4.1: GATE
CHANNEL EDIT > GATE
The Ui24R Gate section is accesible via the Edit Tab on the top toolbar. A Gate is a threshold-driven
gain reduction process normally used to attenuate a signal when its level falls below the Threshold.
Setting the Threshold just above a noise floor or background noise, for example, will allow the Gate to
attenuate the source during periods when the main input (voice, instrument etc) is silent.
Gate Screen Grab
THRESHOLD
Adjust the Threshold of the gate
The tablet version of the software includes a horizontal THRESHOLD fader. You can drag the orange ‘T’ ball
in the dynamics graphic in both phone and tablet versions.
ATTACK
Adjust the Attack of the gate
The attack time controls the speed of the gate opening. The time is in microseconds, under one second.
A gate that opens too quickly on a slower signal attack can produce a click sound. The simple solution is
to extend the attack time until the click sound disappears. Consider very fast attack times for percussive
instruments and slower times (10 ms or more) for everything else.
HOLD
Adjust the Hold time.
The hold time is the minimum time the gate is held open. Hold time is often set to a minimum of 20-30
milliseconds to prevent chatter. Chatter is the constant opening and closing of a gate due to a high-speed
fluctuating signal level.

Ui24R User Manual 5.4.2: COMPRESSOR
CHANNEL EDIT > COMPRESSOR
The Ui24R Compressor section is accesible via the Edit Tab on the top toolbar. A compressor is a
threshold driven process used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal by applying gain reduction
when the signal level exceeds the threshold and applying ‘make-up gain’ to keep the overall level con-
sistent. You can use compression to increase the apparent loudness of a signal without increasing the
peak level, or to control overly dynamic sources.
Compressor Screen Grab
THRESHOLD
Adjust the Threshold of the compressor
The tablet version of the software includes a horizontal THRESHOLD fader. You can drag the orange ‘T’
ball in the dynamics graphic in both phone and tablet versions. This refers to how loud the signal is before
compression is applied.
ATTACK
Adjust the Attack of the compressor
The attack time controls how quick it takes for the compressor to work. The time is in microseconds, under
one second.
RATIO
Adjust the compression Ratio
How much compression is applied. For example, if the compression ratio is set for 6:1, the input signal will
have to cross the threshold by 6 dB for the output level to increase by 1dB.

Ui24R User Manual 6.1: VIEW & MUTE GROUPS
MIX FEATURES > VIEW & MUTE GROUPS
In Ui software you can mute channels individually, or in Mute Groups. There are six Mute Groups
available to be assigned to any muteable channels. To mute all channels in a Mute Group, simply
select the required Mute Group button. View Groups work in much the same way, though these define
mixer channel views. For example, you could assign all vocal channels, plus an aux master to View
Group 1 for instant recall. The ‘INPUTS’, FX RETURNS, SUB GROUPS, and AUX MASTERS buttons
available in the Slideout panel are simply convenient preset View Groups.
To assign Mute Groups, View Groups, (and Sub Groups) navigate to the assignment page. In Tablet

Ui24R User Manual 6.2: MOREME
MIX FEATURES > MOREME
MOREME allows users to assign their own channels (which may include a vocal mic and an
instrument channel for example) and mix the balance of those channels with a single large fader.
This is a simple way to mix your own sound against other band members.
To view MOREME in the phone software, open the NAV menu and press MOREME, or it can be accessed
from the AUX SENDS screen with a double press on the green AUX MASTER fader. Double press the
blank section in between the MOREME faders to return to the AUX SENDS screen. In the Tablet software,
choose MOREME from the Slideout panel.
MOREME can be displayed in both landscape and portrait orientations. Landscape is accessed from the
NAV menu, whereas anytime you turn your phone to portrait orientation, the MOREME page is shown in
portrait view.
For MOREME to work, you first need to assign your ME channels. Do this from a channel sub-menu in the
MIX page. Long-press a channel name for the channel sub-menu, then select ASSIGN ME.
Next you need to assign your aux output. Still in the MIX screen, scroll along to the AUX MASTER faders,
Long press on your AUX Master output channel and select ASSIGN ME OUT.
When a channel is assigned to MOREME, its channel name is displayed in orange colour.

Digital FX are used in all types of audio to help create depth and colour to a mix. The Ui24R has three
internal Lexicon FX processors: Reverb, Delay, and Chorus. The Ui24R has an additional processor
that can either be an additional reverb or delay.
There are dedicated FX Sends and Returns for the internal FX - simply adjust the corresponding FX
Send level and bring up the level of the FX Return channel to incorporate FX into your mix.
See section 4.4 for more details of FX Sends.
FX Edit panels have Preset Save / Recall, and Fader-based parameter adjustment with numeric LCD-

Ui24R User Manual 7.1: REVERB
FX EDIT > REVERB
Reverberation (or “reverb” for short) is the complex effect created by the way we perceive sound in an enclosed
space. Reverb is dependent on many features of that space, including the size, shape and the type of materials
that line the walls. Reverb is a natural component of the acoustic experience, and most people feel that
something is missing without it.
TIME
Reverb Time (milliseconds)
The amount of time it takes for the reverberation tail to decay. Reverb time is an aural indication of the type
of space - large effective spaces have longer reverb times than small absorbent ones.
HF
HF Damping
By damping the high frequencies you can ‘tune in’ a more natural reverberation.
BASS
Bass Gain
Adding bass to a reverberant signal can help thicken audio that is been weakened by the reverberation algo-
rithm, or create greater clarity in low frequencies that is sometimes masked by reverberation.
LPF
Low Pass Filter Frequency
Higher frequency settings increase high frequency response, creating brighter reverbs; lower frequency set-
tings create darker reverbs with more bass frequency emphasis.
HPF
High Pass Filter Frequency
Reduce ‘rumble’ and undesirable muddiness by cutting the low frequencies.

Ui24R User Manual 7.2: DELAY
FX EDIT > DELAY
Delays repeat a sound a short time after it first occurs. Delay becomes echo when the output is fed back into
the input (feedback). This turns a single repeat into a series of repeats, each a little softer than the last. The Ui
delay time is set in Milliseconds or in musical values. Press the DIV display to access a drop down box with the
available musical note values. Press the TAP TEMPO button repeatedly to tap in the desired delay time. (This is
usually done in time with the music.) Press and hold the TAP TEMPO button to manually type in the delay time
in BPM.
TAP / BPM
Delay Tempo
A delay time setting that uses a ‘tapped’ tempo as a guide. Tap the ‘TAP TEMPO’ button to set the delay
time.
The TAP TEMPO button is also available in the control software SlideOut panel.
TIME
Delay Length
Delay time set in milliseconds.
DIV
Length Subdivision
Delay time set as a musical sub-division of the tempo. Press the DIV display to access a drop down box with
the available musical note values.
FBACK
Controls the number of delay repeats by feeding the delay output signal back into the delay input
This creates a series of delay repeats, each slightly attenuated until they become inaudible. Higher settings
create more repeats; lower settings reduce the number of repeats. When this knob is turned fully clockwise,
it engages Repeat Hold – delay repeats play back in an infinite loop, but no further input signal is introduced
into the delay effect. Repeat Hold is available only on Studio, Mono and Pong Delay.

Ui24R User Manual 7.3: CHORUS
FX EDIT > CHORUS
Chorus creates a lush, full sound by combining two or more signals together where one is unaffected and the
other signals vary in pitch very slightly over time. Chorus is commonly used to fatten up tracks and to add body
to guitars without colouring the original tone. Chorus can also be used with discretion to thicken a vocal track.
DETUNE
Amount of deviation from the pitch of the original signal

Ui24R User Manual 8.0: SHOWS & SNAPSHOTS
SHOWS & SNAPSHOTS
A SHOW is a collection of SNAPSHOTS. A SNAPSHOT is a record of every setting on the console.

You can save and recall snapshots and shows via the Ui control software - Phone or Tablet.
A snapshot remembers every setting of your mixer at one time. A common usage for snapshots is to
have one snapshot per song. So your snapshot list could look exactly like your song list.
At the end of each song, change to the next snapshot and every setting on the mixer is ready for that
song to start.
The SHOWS & SNAPSHOTS page is accessible in the tablet software from the SETTINGS page OR by
tapping/clicking the LED display in the top navigation bar (which displays the name of the currently loaded
snapshot). The quick key to the snapshots pop-up is [8]. You can also assign an F1 or F2 key (top of
Master Channel) to update the current snapshot or create a new one. In the phone software, simply tap the
disk icon or assign the SlideOut F1 key to a snapshot function.

Ui24R User Manual APPENDIX 01: NO SOUND?
NO SOUND? A TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
A Troubleshooting Guide.
One of the most common problems experienced with mixing consoles is finding that an input isn’t
appearing at an output. There are many possible reasons for this, but the best way to troubleshoot it is
to go through the expected signal path and workout where the ‘break’ is...
It is also important that you double checking all routing, assignments, and Solo / Mute Group status.
You can check the exact audio path of any signal by referring to the input signal path diagram in
Section 2.3.
Are Solos inactive?

Check for the yellow ‘S’ is shown in the Master Channel display or a yellow active solo indicator in the
DASHBOARD page, If a channel is soloed then all other channels may be muted.
This shouldn’t affect a main Left/Right or Mono output unless the MASTER + HP solo mode is enabled in the
SETTINGS.
Clear all active Solos either individually, or by using CLEAR SOLO in the DASHBOARD screen.
Check The input!

The physical input should be correctly connected. The physical input numbers correspond to the input channel
numbers in the Ui Control Software.
Is there anything on the meters?

By checking the Input and Output path meters, you should be able to localise a problem to a large extent.
The Input channel metering comes after the Mic/Line input but before the rest of the Input Channel. Therefore, if the input signal
is valid, and you have applied enough Gain, you should see a level indication on the input meters.
Output Channel metering is tapped just before the physical output.
Are they ‘in phase’?

Phase is only likely to cause an issue if coherent signals are applied to more than one channel and they are both
routed the same way. For example, you might be using a test signal, or using two channels for the same signal.
You can check if phase is an issue by switching the Phase (GAIN page) on ONE of those channels. If the audio comes back,
then look for the cause of the phase issue - it may be that a balanced connection has been wired incorrectly, for example.
APP01: NO SOUND?

Ui24R User Manual APPENDIX 01: NO SOUND?
NO SOUND? A TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Is the Gate shut?

It is possible for an incorrectly set Gate process to stop all signal.
This happens most often when the threshold is set too high and the signal never gets loud enough to 'open' the Gate. You can
easily check this by bypassing active Gates in the dynamics (DYN) tab of the channel EDIT page.
Are there any active mutes?

The Ui allows you to mute channels individually, via Mute Groups, or via MUTE ALL and MUTE FX buttons the in
the DASHBOARD.
Mute Group operation is described in section 6.1.
Is the Fader up?

The channel fader needs to be set high enough when routing to any post-fade destination. If your problem output
route is pre-fader, then fader position will have no effect.
Is the Output Master Channel Path valid?

Almost exactly the same checks as above can be done on an output channel (Aux Sends, Master Output).
Run through the same checks as above but for the Output channel.
Is the Physical Output Valid?

Check the connection, and your replay system.
If metering is showing a valid output, it is likely there is a problem at, or after, the physical output.

Ui24R User Manual APPENDIX 02: SYSTEM FAQ
SYSTEM FAQ
The Ui is not just an audio mixer - it is a WiFi hotspot and a web server, and it runs sophisticated
control software for phone and tablet-type devices. The following FAQ addresses any issues you might
have with this ‘system’ aspect of Ui operation.
Q: How do I download the Ui app?
A: The Ui series mixers do not need an app. Simply connect to the your Ui mixer via Wi-Fi from any device
(PC, Tablet, Phone). Start an HTML5 Browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc.) and type in the
following URL into your browser: “ui-mixer.io”. From there, choose either the Large interface (PC or tablet)
or Small Interface (phones).
Q: Why does my iOS Wi-Fi keep changing to another network when my device goes to
sleep?
A: How iOS decides which wireless network to auto-join: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202831
You can configure your iOS device to automatically join a specific wireless network with a profile.
Both Apple Configurator and OS X Server Profile Manager support this option in the user interface.
https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT4989
Q: The GUI doesn’t work on my android device?
A: The Ui web application requires a ‘modern’ browser that supports HTML5 features like canvas and
websockets. Android devices using the stock built in Android browser prior to Version 4.4 do NOT support
websockets, and as such will not function. We suggest upgrading your device to a more current version of
OS and browser. We also recommend installing and using the Chrome browser which fully supports
modern browser features.
Q: How do I operate fullscreen just like an app?
A (iOS): Launch the Safari browser on Apple’s iOS and navigate to the website or web page you want to
add to your home screen. Tap the Share button on the browser’s toolbar — that’s the rectangle with an
arrow pointing upward. It’s on the bar at the top of the screen on an iPad, and on the bar at the bottom of
the screen on an iPhone or iPod Touch. Tap the Add to Home Screen icon in the Share menu.
A (Android): Launch Chrome for Android and open the website or web page you want to pin to your home
screen. Tap the menu button and tap Add to homescreen. You’ll be able to enter a name for the shortcut
and then Chrome will add it to your home screen.
The icon will appear on your home screen like any other app shortcut or widget, so you can drag it around
and put it wherever you like. Chrome for Android loads the website as a ‘web app’ when you tap the icon,
so it will get its own entry in the app switcher and won’t have any browser interface getting in the way.
Other popular Android browsers also offer this feature. For example, Firefox for Android can do this if you
tap the menu button, tap the Page option, and tap Add to Home Screen.
APP02: SYSTEM FAQ

SYSTEM FAQ
A (Windows 8, 8.1, RT): This is obviously most useful on tablets, not on desktop PCs where you don’t
want to see the Start screen. Navigate to the website you want to pin, pull up the app bar by right-clicking
or swiping up from the bottom of your screen and tap the star icon. Tap the pin icon, enter a name for the
shortcut, and click Pin to Start. The website will appear as a tile on your Start screen.
A (Windows Phone): Open the website you want to pin in Internet Explorer. Tap the More (…) button
and tap Pin to Start in the menu that appears.
Q: Can I charge my USB device from the Ui’s USB ports?
A: Yes, the Ui hardware USB ports can be used as a device power source.
Q: Can I connect a more powerful antenna?
A: Sure, the included antenna will suffice for many environments. However it is easily screwed off and can
be replaced with a larger. more powerful booster antenna.
Q: How do I reset a Ui mixer?

A: There are several reset modes:
Reset Networking and Admin password only If you have forgotten the admin password, For hotspot or
Wi-Fi settings you can simply use the reset button on the left hand side panel. Use a paper clip to hold the
reset button down for approximately 10 seconds while you power on the unit. This will initialise the Ui’s net-
working and admin password to the default state.
Reset to the default factory firmware

This method removes all updates you may have performed on the mixer and returns it to the default fac-
tory shipping firmware and state. Create a test file named fullreset.txt (no contents necessary) and copy to
a USB stick. Insert the USB stick into one of the Ui’s USB ports. Use a paper clip to hold the reset button
down for approximately 10 seconds while you power on the unit. The Ui will recognise the fullreset.txt file
on the USB stick and perform a full factory reset.
Q: How long does the Ui take to bootup?
A: Approximately 20-22 seconds.
Q: How do I update the Ui’s firmware?

A:
1) Download the Ui update file from the website. The format is: uiupdate-1.0.3434-Ui24R.zip (leave in zip
format)
2) Copy the file to a USB media device suitable for connection to a Ui mixers USB port. Note: The file can
reside in any directory. Any USB port on the mixer is acceptable.
3) Ensure a client device is connected to the Ui mixer GUI
4) Connect USB media to the Ui mixer 5/ The GUI display will display that the USB device has been
mounted. After the stick has been read (maybe 10 more seconds) the update will be recognised.
5) The GUI will prompt you if you would like to update the Ui mixer. Options are Ok/Cancel.
6) Select OK to confirm
APP02: SYSTEM FAQ

SYSTEM FAQ
7) The Ui mixer will perform a firmware update

8) The GUI will present a message stating whether the update has been successful or not.
9) You must power cycle the unit and reconnect their client device.
10) You can now browse to the about page to see the new firmware version information.
Q: How do I attenuate the media player input? It is really hot signal?
A: You can use adjust the Compressor Gain control down -24dB to compensate for the incredibly hot signal
that many audio files are mastered at. This adjustment will act like a PAD and allow you additional range on
the level fader to operate.
Q: Why are some elements of the GUI semi transparent (greyed out)?
A: A greyed out graphical control element is one that is displayed with a light shade of grey (or semi trans-
parent state), to indicate that it is currently disabled, and cannot be operated or selected by the user. This
convention is widely used in graphical user interfaces, to visually indicate which actions cannot be taken in
the current situation. This approach makes it possible to disable a control when it cannot be used, and give
a clear signal of that state, while maintaining the graphical control element in a consistent location, thereby
minimising confusion for the user.
Q: Can I use the same USB stick for playback and recording?
A: For FAST speed USB media devices this will work. For insufficiently fast USB sticks the recorder may
skip samples and record crackle.
Q: Why can’t I connect after changing the WPA password?
A: When changing network password it is recommended to always forget the corresponding WiFi network
connection on clients prior to attempting to rejoin. Certain devices cache network information and do not
allow connections after changing the WPA password until network is forgotten on client.
It can sometimes also be beneficial to disable and then enable your WiFi adapter to ensure fresh client
network information.
Q: Why do I have lost connections?
When using the mixer in highly populated WiFi environments or extended distance we recommend using a
high powered antenna or external router.
APP02: SYSTEM FAQ

SYSTEM FAQ-HDMI
HDMI connection issues:

The Ui24R requires that HDMI connected components be able to recognize and communicate with each
other. This is referred to as the “HDMI handshake”. If the “handshake” doesn’t work, the HDCP encryption
that is imbedded in the HDMI signal is not being recognized properly by one, or more, of the connected
components.
This most often results in not being able to see anything on your monitor.
Before frustration sets in, there are some things you can do yourself if you find that your HDMI-connected
components are not communicating properly.
1. Try A Different Turn-on Sequence For Your Components:

In other words, if you have a habit of turning on your Monitpr first, then your Ui24R try the reverse
turn on sequence and see if that works.
If you find a sequence that works, remember it. Of course, make sure when everything is turned
on, and that you have selected the correct input on your monitor.
Once you have determined the best turn-on sequence - write it down for future reference.
2. Check Your Source Device’s Video Resolution Output Setting:

Ui24R output resolution is fixed at 720p check that your monitor is set to the same resolution as
well, most monitors automatically scale to the right resolution although some need manual selec-
tion.
3. Troubleshooting HDMI-to-DVI or DVI-to-HDMI Connection Problems

Another HDMI connection issue sometimes arises when it is necessary to connect an HDMI-en-
abled device to a TV or monitor that has a DVI connection, or a DVI-enabled source device to an
HDMI-equipped TV.
In this case, you need to use an HDMI-to-DVI conversion cable (HDMI on one end - DVI on other
other) or use an HDMI cable with an added HDMI-to-DVI adapter or a DVI cable with a DVI-to-
HDMI adapter. Check out examples of DVI/HDMI adapters and cables on Amazon.com
The added requirement is that the DVI-equipped device you are connecting is HDCP-enabled.
This allows the proper communication between both the HDMI and DVI devices.
Ordinarily, there should not be a problem converting HDMI to DVI, but there can be. For example,
you will find that 3D and 4K signals are not compatible. With standard 480p, 720p, or 1080p reso-
lution video signals.
On the other hand, you can also run into a situation on older-DVI equipped TVs that even if they
are HDCP compliant, they may not have the proper firmware to recognize the identity of the HDMI
source component you are trying to connect.
An ACTIVE HDMI to DVI or HDMI to VGA adapter normally works better than a passive one.
APP02: SYSTEM FAQ

SYSTEM FAQ-Touch screen
Touch connection issues:

The Ui24R requires that the touch screen information be passed via a USB cable to one of the USB A con-
nections.
Each screen has it’s own USB ID number called VID and PID, in some instances even the same model
may have a different VID and PID depending on which country it was purchased from.
We have implemented several such ID’s in the Ui24R but it is impossible for us to know all the ID number
and all the screen that may be available at a future time.
In such cases please contact support and email your VID and PID, Screen model and version to Soundcraft
support so we can add it to the firmware of the Ui24R.
Linux: Just run in the terminal and find details of your stick

if necessary,
choose from the drop-down list line “Device Instance Id”
Please email this information to the Soundcraft Support email

address.
APP02: SYSTEM FAQ

Setting up a connection
Although the Ui24R has Wifi connectivity, care must be taken in using such a connection where interfer-
ence can occur and longer distance control is required.
In such situations it is recommended to use a more powerful external router with larger antennas or use an
Ethernet connection directly to the Ui24R.
Using a Wifi scanner application you should determine which channels are free in your area and set the
Ui24R to use one of these channels.
You should also have a direct line of sight to the Wifi Antenna of the Ui24R or router you are using.
DOM 18 error
If you are getting the following error message when connecting to the Ui mixer’s hotspot via ipad: 498
