Adjusting Aux/Variable Group Output
Parameters
Aux and Variable Group output parameters can be controlled us-
ing the channels strips or the Global Control encoders. Auxes and
Variable Groups can also be controlled on-screen (see “Adjusting
On-Screen Output Controls” on page 92).
Aux/Variable Group Output Levels
Aux and Variable Group output levels can be controlled from the
channel strips and the Global Control encoders. Level offsets can
be created between linked Aux/Variable Group bus outputs.
To control Aux output levels from the channel strips:
1 Press Bank switch E. Aux outputs 1–16 (or 1–8 depending on
your bus configuration) are banked to the channel strips.
2 Move a fader to change the level of its assigned output.
To control Variable Group output levels from the channel strips:
1 Press Bank switch F. Variable Group outputs 1–8 are banked to
channel strips 1–8.
2 Move a fader to change the level of its assigned output.
To control Aux and Variable Group output levels from the Global
Control encoders:
1 Make sure the main Global Control menu is displayed in the
Global Control encoder displays.
2 Press the encoder below the display showing Aux/Grp. Aux
outputs 1–8 are assigned to the eight Global Control encoders.
3 Do any of the following to adjust the Aux bus output level:
• Press the encoder
In switch to turn the Aux bus on. The
switch LED lights green when the bus is on (unmuted).
• Rotate the encoder to adjust the output level for the Aux bus
shown in the corresponding display.
• Press the encoder
Sel switch to target that Aux bus for ed-
iting in Channel Control or on-screen.
4 Do the following to access additional Aux/Variable Group out-
puts, depending on the current global Bus Configuration set-
ting:
• Press the
Page > Global Control Navigation switch to ac-
cess Aux outputs 9–16 on the Global Control encoders.
• Press
Page > again to access Variable Group outputs 1–8.
To create a level offset between linked Aux/Variable Group
outputs:
1 Bank the Aux/Variable Groups busses to the channel strips.
2 Do either of the following:
• Touch one linked output fader while moving the other.
• Hold the Start (Win) key on the keyboard and move one
linked Aux/Variable Group bus fader on-screen.
The offset between the faders is maintained until the offset causes
a fader to reach its maximum or minimum value.
Aux/Variable Group Output Solo
You can solo Aux/Variable Group busses from the Global Con-
trol encoders, letting you retain access to input channels on the
channel strips. This is helpful when mixing monitors using the
S3L system. Aux and Variable Group busses can also be soloed
from the channel strips.
To solo an Auxes/Variable Groups from the Global Control
encoders:
1 Assign the Aux or Variable Groups you want to control to the
Global Control encoders.
2 Double-press the encoder Sel switch to solo that Aux/Variable
Group. The
Sel switch flashes to indicate the bus is soloed.
3 To disengage solo, press the Sel switch again once so that it is
unlit.
To solo an Aux/Variable Group from the channel strips:
1 Bank the desired Aux/Variable Group busses to the channel
strips.
2 Press the Solo switch on the channel strip for the bus you want
to solo. The switch lights solid to indicate the channel is ex-
plicitly soloed.
To use the built-in Comp/Lim and EQ processors on
Auxes/Variable Groups, see “Using Built-In Comp/Lim
and EQ on Outputs” on page 90.
With linked Aux/Variable Group busses, moving one fader af-
fects the level of both linked output busses.
You can set Output banking to follow AFL selection, and vice
versa. For more information on Solo bus operation, see See
“Configuring Solo and Monitor Options” on page 130.
