The Rocktron Intellifex®XL is a 24-bit digital effects processor utilizing two 20-bit con-

verters and Sigma-Delta A/D conversion, achieving a 64x oversampling rate and better than

100dB dynamic range. The Intellifex XL is totally programmable and allows for complete

MIDI control. The unit features pitch shifting, 8 voice stereo chorusing effects, digital delay

effects including 2-tap, stereo and ping ponging effects, unsurpassed digital reverb quality

and highly flexible configuration programming allowing for simultaneous operation of up to 5

effects plus complete mixing capabilities. The unit also offers Hush Systems’ first fully digital

implementation of patented HUSH®noise reduction at the unit’s input, along with delay and

reverb ducking capabilities.

For a thorough explanation of the Intellifex®XL and its functions, please read this manual

carefully and keep it for future reference. A better understanding of how the Intellifex®XL

operates will help make designing your own preset sounds much easier.

After removing the Intellifex®XL from the box, save all packing materials in case it

becomes necessary to ship the unit.

What makes the Intellifex®XL unique?

* Super quiet operation due to use of digital HUSH®and high quality 20-bit converters.

* High purity sound due to the use of a 64X oversampling A/D converter, which samples the

signal 64 times as often as a conventional converter, and also due to the use of a separate

dual D/A converter. Most "bargain" digital effects units use a single converter multiplexed 3

ways, for decidedly higher distortion and lower dynamic range.

* 24-Bit processing and memory circuits to maintain maximum dynamic range.

* Ability to store up to 8 unique MIDI controller patches with each preset.

* Very high quality effects algorithms.

* Highly stereo effects with panning available on almost all signals.

* 8 Voice chorusing with an enormous number of parameters for the richest chorus ever.

* High quality 4 voice pitch shifting over 3 full octaves.

* 2-voice pitch shifting or 4-voice chorusing offered simultaneously with Hush®, Delay and

Reverb.

* Double-precision 4-band parametric EQ

* Programming via knobs instead of push buttons.

* Easy to read, wide viewing angle display.

1. Introduction

2. Quick Setup

STEP 3 Now press the STORE button a second time to store the modified values

into the selected preset location. The Intellifex XL will display "STORED"

briefly before displaying the new preset number/title.

RECALLING A STORED INTELLIFEX XL PRESET

STEP 1 To recall a stored Intellifex XL preset, first turn the PRESET control to the

desired preset number you wish to recall. The display will alternate

between the preset number/title selected and:

PRESS RECALL FOR

STEP2 To call up the preset you have selected, press the RECALL button. The

display will now show only the new preset number/title.

14 PRESET TITLE

CHANGING PRESET PARAMETERS

STEP 1 The parameter menu for each effect can be called up via the FUNCTION

SELECT control. Turn this control to the effect to be changed.

**** REVERB ****

STEP 2 Turn the PARAMETER SELECT control to select which parameter select

the parameter to be modified.

REV DECAY 59

STEP 3 Use the PARAMETER ADJUST control to modify the parameter value.

The LED above the STORE button lights to indicate that a parameter

value has been modified from the stored preset.

REV DECAY 32

STEP 4 The COMPARE button may be used to compare the stored value to the

new one.

REV DECAY 59

STORING MODIFIED PARAMETER VALUES

STEP 1 To store modified parameter values, press the STORE button while

viewing a parameter or effect title to begin the store procedure. The

Intellifex XL will alternate displaying the current preset number/title and:

STORE TO PRESET

STEP 2 Turn the PRESET control to select the desired preset number to store the

new parameter values into (if the new values are to be stored into the

current preset location, this step is not necessary). User presets may be

stored in preset locations 1-80. Presets 81-160 are factory presets and

cannot be copied over. The Intellifex XL will now alternate displaying the

new preset number/title and:

STORE TO PRESET

STORED

STEP 4 After the modified parameters have been stored into a new preset

location, the Intellifex XL will display "COPY TITLE TOO?". This occurs

only when a new preset location is selected to store the modified

parameters into, and allows for the title from the original preset to be

copied to the new preset location as well. To copy the title, press the

STORE button a third time. The display will again flash "STORED".

NOTE 1 If it is not desired to copy the title from the original preset, turn either the

PRESET or FUNCTION SELECT control to exit the store procedure.

NOTE 2 If a modified preset is edited without completing the store procedure (i.e.

"STORED" displayed at least one time), all edited parameter values will

be lost and the preset will revert to its original condition the next time it is

recalled. When saving altered parameters, always make sure the Intellifex

XL flashes "STORED" at least once before exiting the preset to ensure

that the desired modifications were stored into memory.

Some of the controls on the Intellifex XL front panel have more than one function, dependent

upon what mode the unit is currently operating in. Please read this section to become better

aquainted with these functions.

1) POWER switch

2) RECALL button:

This button recalls the displayed preset.

3) PRESET control:

The function of this control is dependent on status of the CONFIG button.

When the CONFIG LED is off, turning the PRESET control will cause the Intellifex XL to

exit its current function. The PRESET control may then be used to scroll through the

successive factory and user presets and titles stored in its memory.

When the CONFIG LED is on, the PRESET control is again used to scroll through the

successive presets, but instead of displaying preset titles the Intellifex XL will display the

effect configuration stored for each preset.

4) CONFIG button:

The CONFIG button is used to toggle between displaying either the preset title or the

configuration of the currently displayed preset. The configuration display indicates both

which effects the displayed preset executes and the order in which they are executed. The

LED above the CONFIG button is lit when the configuration is displayed.

5) DISPLAY panel:

The DISPLAY panel consists of 16 characters. Each character consists of 14 segments.

6) COMPARE button:

The COMPARE button may be used to compare a modified parameter value to its stored

value. (If comparing an altered value to the stored value and the stored value is currently

being viewed, turning a knob or pressing a button that changes the parameter value

displayed will cancel the previous modified value.)

The COMPARE button may also be used to simultaneously compare multiple modified

parameters under the same effect heading (i.e. Reverb, Mixer, etc.) to the stored values. To

do so, turn to the effect heading where the modified parameters are located and press the

COMPARE button. When the STORE LED is off, the stored parameter values are currently

active. When the STORE LED is lit, the modifed values are active.

If a knob is turned or a button is pressed which changes the effect heading when the stored

parameters are active (STORE LED off), any modified parameter values under that heading

will be lost. This is also true if a MIDI control change is received while the stored

parameters are active.

3. Front Panel

7 PARAMETER ADJUST control:

This control is used to adjust the displayed parameter value. When the parameter is changed

from its original value, the LED above the STORE button will light until either (a) the new

value is stored, (b) a new preset is selected or (c) the parameter is returned to its original

value.

8) STORE button:

This button is used to store values into the Intellifex XL memory when modified. See

"Storing Modified Parameters" in Chapter 8 for more information.

9) PARAMETER SELECT control:

When monitoring parameter values, this control scrolls through the available parameters

under the current effect heading.

In the "TITLE EDlT" function, this control scrolls through the available characters in the

title that may be edited.

10) FUNCTION SELECT control:

This control allows access to each function of the Intellifex XL. Depending on which

configuration the current preset is built upon, these functions may include:

Preset Select Reverb Mixer

HUSH EQ MIDI Controller Mapping

Chorus Delay MIDI Program Mapping

Pitch Shift Ducker MIDI Channel

Title Edit Factory Restore MIDI Dump/Load

11) BYPASS button:

When pressed, the LED is lit and all effects are bypassed.

12) INPUT LEVEL meter:

These LEDs provide visual indication of the peak level of the input signal. For the optimal

signal-to-noise ratio, it is best to adjust the input level so that the last LED (0dB) is rarely lit.

This will guard against the possibility of overdriving the unit.

13) INPUT LEVEL control:

This control adjusts the unit's gain to match the signal level at the input of the Intellifex XL.

The gain can be adjusted from -12dB to +12dB. Use the INPUT LEVEL meter to determine

the setting of this control.

14) CLIP L.E.D.:

This L.E.D. is part of the output section and, when lit, indicates that the final analog output

is being overdriven because the Effects Level, Direct level, and Output Level control are set

too high. If this occurs, reduce these levels until this L.E.D. does not light.

15) OUTPUT LEVEL control:

This control is used to adjust the output level of the unit and may be adjusted from zero

signal to a small amount of gain.

16) REFERENCE LEVEL switch:

This switch determines the output range of the unit and may be set at either -10dB or +4dB.

When using professional studio equipment providing a nominal input level of +4dB, it is

recommended that the +4 setting on the Intellifex XL be used for best results. If connecting

the Intellifex XL to a high sensitivity input, such as the input to a guitar amp, the -10 setting

should be used.

1) R(MONO) INPUT jack:

This standard 1/4" mono jack provides input to the right channel of the Intellifex XL. When

using only one input (mono), this jack should be used.

2) L INPUT jack:

This standard 1/4" mono jack provides input to the left channel of the Intellifex XL. When

using only one input, this jack should not be used.

3) R OUTPUT jack:

This standard 1/4" mono jack provides an output for the right channel of the Intellifex XL.

When using the unit in a mono application, either output jack may be used.

4) L OUTPUT jack:

This standard 1/4" mono jack provides output for the left channel of the Intellifex XL. When

using the unit in a mono application, either output jack may be used.

5) PHANTOM POWER jack:

This jack offers the ability to power the Rocktron MIDI Mate™Foot Controller from a seven

pin MIDI cable which connects from the MIDI Mate to the MIDI IN jack on the rear panel

of the Intellifex XL, eliminating the need to find an AC outlet near where the footpedal

would be placed during a performance - or the need to run an extension cord out to the

MIDI Mate. Instead of inserting the adaptor into the MIDI Mate™POWER jack, plug it into

the PHANTOM POWER jack on the Intellifex XL. This will power the MIDI Mate™

through pins 6 and 7 of the MIDI cable connecting the two units. A 7-pin MIDI cable must

be used and is available through your Rocktron dealer.

6) MIDI IN jack:

This 7-pin DIN connector receives MIDI information from the device which is transmitting

the MIDI commands for the Intellifex XL to execute.

7) MIDI OUT/THRU jack:

This standard 5-pin DIN connector passes on the MIDI information that is received at the

MIDI IN jack to other MlDI-compatible devices via a MIDI cable. It also outputs MIDI data

when performing a memory dump.

Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which can be chained

together (series connected). With more than three devices, a slight distortion of the MIDI

signal can occur (due to signal degradation) which can cause an error in MIDI signal

transmission. Should this problem arise, a MIDI box can be used which connects directly to

the MIDI device which transmits MIDI information and has multiple connectors for the

multiple devices receiving MIDI. MIDI cables should not exceed 50 feet (15 meters) in

length.

8) POWER jack:

This jack accepts power from the 9VAC/1500mA adaptor supplied with the unit.

4. Rear Panel

Note

When using a mono input and a

mono output, the left and right

effect signals will be summed at

the single output.
